this was a busy weekend. and i got to spend most of it with my sister.
on friday, my sister and i made a cake for one of my dear friends. (well, it was for her husband but it was part of her birthday present to him). apparently, he's a big angry birds fan so she wanted a cake that was inspired by the game. the catch was, the cake needed to survive a five hour trip to the beach...in a cooler.
so we weren't able to do as many elaborate decorations as we would have liked but i think what we came up with looks pretty good.
and he loved it. so even better.
on saturday, my sister and i set up the halloween decorations at my parents' house. we had apple cider brewing, apple cake baking, and orange and black decorations dotting the house. a perfect night. my mom has a lot of decor that just gets put away during a holiday season (usually, we have a clear some space on the walls/tables for the decor.). one such decoration is a set of three black, square frames. the frames each have an embroidered design/word in them. instead of taking them down this year, we decided to halloween them up.
we took some super cool black and white striped wrapping paper (from target), cut it into a square.
then we found these guys in the leftover decoration bin.
put them together, with a little bit of masking tape, some scissors, and a hot glue gun, and you've got a 3-D type halloween decoration. this one literally didn't cost me anything. my favorite!
this week, I'll be putting up my own halloween decorations in preparation for our family's FIRST halloween party. details to come...
i can't wait!!!!

What a cute way to be resourceful and use even the scrappy pumpkins at the bottom of the bin! Now they are elevated to new heights of appreciation. I love the whimsy of it. andrea@townandprairie
