~Hot Chocolate Gifts and Simple & Sweet Fridays #192~


You can find lots of great ideas for handmade gifts on Pinterest. 
I wanted to make a simple gift for friends for the holidays.
A cup of hot chocolate to warm you up,
 would be a great gift!
I made handmade tags for the gifts.
I found the test tubes at Michael's Craft Store.
I poured in hot chocolate powder, then chocolate sprinkles and 
then some mini marshmallows.
A perfect Fall gift for friends!!
I love lights in the Fall!
Especially from our view from the kitchen to our patio!
I used some twinkling battery operated lights and added some spanish moss and homegrown squashes.
There's something magical about lights in the Fall.
Maybe because,
 it gets darker earlier now.

I saw this recipe in the October 2015,
Food & Wine Magazine.
~Roasted Acorn Squash with Garlic Butter and Burrata~
It's a simple recipe with lots of good flavors.
It was so good!!
Lemon cannoli for dessert!
I had to share with you a photo of 
our Halloween costume this year.
Tom Hanks in Cast Away, great movie!!
Stan painted Wilson's picture, it turned out great!
Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!!

I also wanted to thank you all,
 for sharing every week,
 your inspiring ideas and crafts!!
You're the Best!!

    Jody,
    Your individual hot chocolate gifts are perfect. I may have to copy that...thanks for showing how to do it and giving the source for the test tubes.

    Yours and Stan's costumes are just too funny! Love your creativity.
