Fall Gardening....

If you can believe it, I actually came up with this one on my own. We are having a garden party for Enrichment next week. We are serving finger foods and deserts just to keep things simple. And I thought that they would be extra cute if they were served in these "raised picket gardens". So imagine 3 raised gardens on the table with treats displayed in rows and random garlands with gords and fall looking things at the base.

I used:

boxes from the bakery

white poster board cut into 1" x 6" (and then cut to form a peak)

hot glued them to the box

wrapped them with fuzzy green yarn.

I'm still thinking about varying the heights on the pickets... can't decide.

I think these would be really cute for any party, shower, wedding, or other garden-y event.

my endless search

In my endless search for cute and creative ideas... I found this! Is that the cutest idea ever? I'm totally making this... who's got a birthday coming up hmmmm..... found this one on martha

this was my first year trick or treating with my kids in this neighborhood. I've decided I need to let go of a few things and live life with my kids.... childhood only happens once. Halloween is one of those childhood things that the memories always stick.

This year fun was had by all!

A Pumpkin load of Fall Fun

My Snazzy treats!

One of the things my kids really wanted to do this fall was rake leaves and play in them...well, we knew just where to find some, GRANDMA'S!!!!

"Leaf Angels" (apparently they are quite strenuous)


But mighty fun work.

And what is better then a good ol' roll in the grass and some cloud watching. "WOW" ... is his new favorite word.

weekends filled with these kinds of things are what make life GREAT!

BUS STOP DELIVERY

sorry... can't talk now... I'm taking a bunch of these to the bus stop... to hand them out. they are way too good to sit here and tempt me.

recipe:
your favorite batch of Peanut Butter cookies
pretzle rods (I found $1 ones that were buttery SHULTZ brand. yummy)
chocolate and carmel to drizzle

make dough, roll into balls. place pretzle on baking sheet and put dough ball on end smashing with a fork, bake for 12 min. take out and let cool. drizzle with chocolate and carmel.

It kindof tastes like a twix.
