Another cute idea for Halloween. Cute centerpiece! Hope you can make it out from the picture. I took the picture from the magazine so not the best. I got this from my Martha Stewart 2008 magazine. I am going to try to do a dinner the first week in Oct. and make this as the centerpiece. I thought after dinner we could have vanilla ice cream and let the kids use the berrys to top off there desert. I think they will love it!

Pretty easy to do ....

1. Arrange deep-hued fruits on a large platter around dark pillar candles , set the platter around dark pillar candles, set platter on dining table over a gauzy fabric runner.

2. Add insects of your choice-plastic ones only, please!

This is a picture of Jake and his Best Friend Porter. They were playing in the field and I told them to hold hands and walk off and I snap this cute picture. I love how it turned out! Jake and Porter are so cute together when they play. They both have the best imaginations! They can play hours and hours with each other. Jake favorite thing to do with porter is play Indians. They are so cute!!

Wow...I love HALLOWEEN! I have so many ideas to share. These would be cute for a after school snake to go with the apple bites. Here is how to make these easy witches brooms.

******************

Rolled fruit snacks (fruit by the foot works best!)

Thin Pretzel Sticks

Cut a 2 inch length from a fruit by the foot, fruit snack. With the shorter ends on the side, fringe the bottom of the strip to create the broom bristles. Moisten the upper edge of the fruit with a drop of water and tightly wrap it around one end of a thin pretzel stick broom handle.

I am sure our kids will sweep these up in no time! Ha!

Do you need a treat idea for you childs school class. I am making these this year....Yummy Mummies. This is also from the Family Fun Halloween 2009 Magazine. You have to go buy this magazine it has the cutest ideas. Here is how you make these cute little yummy mummies.

Tissue Tube

white paper

packing tape

glue

2 inch wide gauze

googly eyes

candy treats

For each holder, trace one end of an emply tissue tube onto a piece of white paper, then cut out the circle, making it slightly smaller than your trace line. (tip: if you fold the paper into a few layers, you can cut out several circles at once.) Cut the tube in half (you can make two holders per tube) and use packing tape to attach the paper circle to the bottom of one of the halves. tape one end of a 2 to 2 1/2 foot strip of 2-inch wide gauze to the tube, then wrap it around the holder, gently stretching and twisting the gauze as you go to give it some dimension. When you've coverd the tube, cut the gauze and tuck the end under a nearby layer. Glue on googly eyes (or use the self-adhesive kind), and fill the mummy with candy treats.

This is such a cute idea for Halloween to sit on shelf or fireplace Mantel. I seen this in this years Better Homeas and Garden Halloween Tricks and Treats magazine. You take a book and using the original jacket as a pattern, cut a new one from wallpaper scraps or gift wrap. (you could also use scrapbook paper depending on the size of the book!) Embellish the fronts and spines with lettering, frames etc. Very cute!

Are you my type? I am for sure making these for the kids for an after school snack! Healthy and so cute. To make some quarter and core an apple, cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter, then press slivered almonds in place for teeth. (If you are not going to serve for while, baste the apples with orange juice to keep them from browning).

This is from the Disney family fun magazine from this year. You may still be able to find the magazine. Very cute ideas, I paid $9.99 and so worth it!

These are too cute to eat! This is out of the Disney Family Fun Halloween Magazine! Cute for a after school snake or for a Halloween Party. Here is the Recipe .....

Salty Bones

Refrigerated Breadsticks

Coarse Salt

Unroll a tube of refrigerated breadsticks (11 ounce tube makes 12 bones) and separate the rectangular pieces. Working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough to lengthen it a bit and then use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut a 1 1/2-inch slit in the center of each end. Shape the resulting four flaps of dough into knobs that look like the ends of a bone. Place the dough bones on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart, and sprinkle on a little coarse salt. Bake the bones at 375' until they are light golden brown about 12 min.
