Here is a picture of a Halloween cake I made a couple of years ago. I believe the idea came from Family Circle (Bats are chocolate melts stuck onto mini marshmallows and toothpicks). It was going to be a cake donated to my son's school for the cakewalk but I quickly discovered that it was too fragile to transport in a car so my kids and their friends were more than happy to consume here at our house.
And here's an almost picture of my littlelest pumpkin! This was last year - thought I'd post that now then do one for this year later on to show the comparison of much she's grown! However, she is still the same silly girl! LOL!! This year she decided she wants to be a bat. No, not Batgirl but just a bat. Hmmmmm......no more princesses...sniff, sniff.
As far as crafts, have been busy making up stuff for my son's school fundraising Holiday boutique (remember how poor California is so we have to raise money to fund teaching specialists, librarians, etc). Will take photos of those cute projects later. I've been busy crocheting play cupcakes and knitting cupcake purses. These were not my creations but patters I previously purchased from very talented Etsy sellers. Proceeds from the sales will benefit my son's school. Will send links of those later after I get permission from the Etsy sellers.
I've also been recently "selected" to be the PTA treasurer for my daughters' school! I know ZERO about bookkeeping or accounting (I believe I nearly failed that class in college!) so this is such a hilarious thing for me to be doing. My friend, the PTA president, convinced me it would be easy and that she would help me out with anything I don't know (easy for her to say - she's a very smart CPA!). Am happy to report that I have not messed up their books.....yet!
Have a great Sunday! Hug all those loved ones and don't forget to tell them you love them on a daily basis.
