~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!!

~Simple Halloween Cookies and Simple & Sweet Fridays #191~



Making Halloween cookies is always a family tradition!!
I love making something special for our kids.
I made a simple sugar cookie recipe and used some cookie cutters.
I ordered some edible Halloween wafer papers from Fancy Flours.
I rolled out some fondant for the icing. I then 
glued the papers onto the cookies
with a brush and some light corn syrup.
I added some edible glitter for a finishing touch!!
I also made some Halloween Cameo Witch Silhouette cookies.

I stamped some Spooky Halloween tags!!
And our kids wanted Halloween Apple Treats!!
 I dipped them in Kraft Caramels, so easy!
Everybody loves peanuts!
Green Sprinkles!!
We also added white chocolate and Oreo cookies, caramel and graham crackers,
toffee chips and caramel!
Sweets for a special Halloween dessert!!


Wishing You All a Fun Holiday Weekend!

~Happy Halloween and Simple & Sweet Fridays #139~

I wanted to share some photos of our house decorated for Halloween.
I can hear little trick-or-treaters coming to the door.
Lots of candy for their bags.
Can't wait to see their costumes!
The excitement in their faces.
I have the miniature house decorated.
The lights are on and the ghost is waiting!!
I have out the black and white runner for the table.
The silver pumpkins sparkling in the light.
I'll put out my black and white pillows to add to the halloween theme.
A glass pumpkin in the kitchen shining the last of sunlight.
The Halloween trees on the mantle for a Halloween season look.
A pretty teal pumpkin accenting the Patisserie sign.
My mannequin lit up with twinkling lights.
Hope you all have a Happy Halloween with family and friends!
