~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!

Mosaic Inspiration and Simple & Sweet Fridays #130

I wanted to share my latest Mosaic creations!

I wanted to recycle old plates that I bought from thrift stores and garage sales.

I broke the plates using a towel and hammer.

 I decided to use an old shovel, hand trowel, and a brick.

I started to glue the pieces down with AcrylPRO.

Pique Assiette is a form of art similar to mosaic but specifically uses broken plates and the like arranged in patterns or designs. The name comes from the French pique-assiette, meaning "one who eats from others' plates". Pique assiette is a style of mosaic that incorporates pieces of broken ceramics—plates, dishes, cups, tiles—and other found objects into the design. The appeal and expressiveness of pique assiette lies in the ideas of lateral thinking, humour, recycling, and the significance of the found objects.

-Wikipedia

I love displaying mosaic garden art.

It was a fun project.  I am planning to make another mosaic piece soon!

I went to Home Goods this last week and found these olive colored plates marked down to $3.00!

I couldn't resist!

I'll be sharing my fall tablescape soon.

I found this cute cookie stamp at Anthropologie.

I love the Eiffel Tower handle!

The stamp says, "BAKED FOR YOU"

I made some shortbread cookies with some lilac coloring in it.

Too cute and delicious too!

Stan designed a new area by our pool with brick.

Stan and Justin are working on putting up a new pergola.  I'll share more photos next week.

Maggie and I are excited about the new area!

I hope you all have a creative week.

Looking forward to seeing all the inspiring new projects you've been working on.
