Happy Halloween (on the LARGE side) and RECIPES

Are you having fall weather where you are?  We've had some gorgeous days lately.  I see that next week the highs are in the 60s and I'm really looking forward to that!  

This Halloween card is a little on the large side - about 10 inches tall!  I picked up a package of Halloween goodies at Michaels and this coffin was part of it.  I decided to turn it into a card.  I think I LOVE black glitter!  It is just sooo pretty... Love this glittery black bat! 

I sewed  a pocket on the inside so that two Halloween suckers could be popped in for a sweet treat. 

Now, let's talk desserts!   I mentioned in my previous post that banana pudding might be my favorite dessert.  Now, I 'm not talking anything that comes out of a box!  We made cute individual banana puddings in mason jars for my party a couple of weekends ago.  Love how they looked!   We also had perfect chocolate cake cupcakes filled with icing that looked like a candy corn.  And, of course, we had our famous sugar cookies.  When certain people RSVP the first thing they say is "Are you having your sugar cookies??"  I think I would be in big trouble if I answered No!    Mika and her husband were at my party taking pictures.  She has a wonderful cooking blog and all of our delicious party recipes are posted today on her blog, Mika's Pantry.  Be sure to check it out!
