Happy Halloween All - Third Times A Charm

What a fun night! Finally, a fun Halloween. Let's see my first Halloween in Arizona two years ago(Ahwatukee area), I left our candy bowl full of candy by our door with a cute note for trick-or-treaters to help themselves to one...my son said don't do it, they'll just take it all. No they won't I said - yes they did. Bowl and all gone, gone, gone. So disheartening (smile).  Second Halloween, (Tolleson area), no trick-or-treaters. Hmmm...Third time is a charm - finally home in Terrific Tempe! We had SO MANY adorable little gobblins at our door. I had to send my son out twice to round up candy. I put together 40 little treat bags and truly thought this would be MORE than enough; it WASN'T!! We had over a 100 trick-or-treaters.  It was great. AND, at 9:00 I put the remaining goodie bags in a bowl, set them outside next to our jack-o-lantern with, yes once again another note to please help yourself to a goodie bag....AND...the bowl is still there with a few goodie bags left. Everyone was very appreciative for the nifty treats. Sweet and Simple.

So I decided modernize and bling up my Halloween Pumpkins. I bought two artificial pumpkins from Joanne's, painted them with off-white acrylic paint, the stems black, and then added the awesome Stampin' Up Decor Elements 'Black Frightful Sight' along with Stampin' Up Designer Jewels Black Flourish (they are still available Item #120987 and they are 4"x8" for a $1.99 each - WOW!! see pic below how they come.)

I have them sitting on my living room coffee table surrounded by frosted candle tea lights. Just love it!!

How Would You Like to go Bobbin' for this Apple!!

I've NEVER seen an apple this BIG. Look at it's size compared to my hand...think about that

This applie is the size of a small pumpkin. It's a California Honey Crisp Apple. Gonna put it in the refrigerator for a bit and then enjoy it once it's nice and cold. I'll let you know if it's size lives up to its taste.
