Tomorrow is the Party!

Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for me as I have a hair appointment in the early afternoon (I haven't the faintest idea how a tiara should be attached and it has spiders so there really is no way I'll be able to touch it), my make-up to apply, the tent for the backyard party area to have delivered and put up (like I'd be any help in putting it up - the thing is HUGE!), then our buffet table needs to be set-up for the food (catered) in the late afternoon (linens are being delivered tomorrow too) and then our gruesome guests are expected in the early evening!  And somewhere in the midst of all that I need to help my sweetie get into his costume - it's going to take a two people, some patience and a camera to get him into his Predator costume me thinks! 

It's going to be a monster bash!

Our very own cemetery

This was our test version of transforming our front lawn into a cemetery.

Final version pics will be shared once 

we get into the Halloween weekend.

Wickedly Cool Jewelry

Even though this is kinda in the vein of those Twilight movies (sorry, bad pun!) and I'm not into Twilight 1, 2 or 3 - give me Count Dracula over what-ever-the-heartthrob-of-the-movie-is-called any day) this is some wickedly cool jewels to be sporting around the neck!

Cookie Time! Super Easy Sugar Cookies

After going through various recipe books trying to find a simple and easy cookie recipe I came across a recipe for sugar cookies - what could be easier?!

Throw in a bucket of Halloween cookie cutters, some simple icing and this was a wonderful way to spend an evening... making sugar cookies!


As a treat for my co-workers I made some sugar cookies. As with most offices many of us gather in the kitchen in the morning to say hello and find out what everyone is up to and how things are going - very informal.

It was suggested I get some Christmas cookie cutters and do the same recipe for December... I think not!
