When it comes to holiday decorating, 
I try to be as authentic as possible . . .

{are you my mummy?}

1. Glue two wiggly eyes to a glass.  I used a low temp glue gun and different sized eyes.

2. Tear a 1 1/2 inch mummy colored piece of fabric the width of the fabric (approximately 42").  Put a dot of glue on the back of the glass at about the same height as the eyes.  Stick one end of the strip to the glue.  Wrap the strip so that it falls above and below the eyes.  Secure the end with a dot of glue.

3. After the party, pull off the fabric and pry the eyes off with your fingernail.  If they won't come off easily, fill your glass up with hot tap water to soften the glue.

I think he's my favorite.

Bezzant Boo Juice

1 pkg Cherry Koolaid

1 c sugar

1 lg can frozen orange juice concentrate

2 quarts of water

Mix until the Koolaid, orange juice and sugar are dissolved.

Right before serving, mix equal parts of punch base

and Sprite together in a pitcher.

Allow a little extra space in you pitcher

because the punch will foam a little

when you first mix it with Sprite.

{boo-tiful memories}

New for our annual 'Orange Dinner' (more about that in future posts) is our BOO window.  

I printed pictures of some of my favorite memories and (with the help of my assistant, Vanessa) I taped them to the window to spell BOO.  I think the adults had more fun reminiscing about them than the children.

{halloween yo-yos}

I started my Halloween YoYo Quilt years ago.

It's still a work in progress.

It's nice to have a project that you can enjoy

and display as you work on it.
