Witch Cupcakes

I got this from Pinterest but the picture came from Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.  I made the homemade version for Halloween Party.

I got the cute stripey cupcake holder and baked chocolate mix with homemade cake icing and tinted green.  Then I just got the colored straws at Walmart and cut.  Then printed the shoes on paper, cut out a shoe and traced onto black card stock.  Then cut out and added to the straws.  When I cut out the shoes I left a little leg on and the skinny let fit down inside the straw and was more secure I felt.

Conclusion:  great project to do with the kids.  Not sure how everyone will like since party is tomorrow night.  I will update and let you know how they turned out.

Collection of gross things.

So this one is fun and easy.  I started collecting all sizes of jars.  The big one is pickle jar and the smaller ones are spaghetti sauce, pickle, and jelly jars.  I just went to Dollar Tree and bought a collection of things to put in jars.  I added water to some and even dye to give a gross effect.  My jars contained fingers, spiders, eyeballs(gum balls) and a big hand.  I put these in my kitchen window so they could be seen from outside also.

Conclusion:  The kids loved this one.  Easy and cheap to do.  I emptied out the water to save for the next year.
