Hi Darlings,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I've had such a busy couple of days so I thought I'd show you some of the highlights!
The night before Halloween:
Alex Baking her Witch Cake
Decorating Halloween cupcakes
Some of the finished results
My favourite winter jumper, so cosy and homely for crafty projects
Alex bringing our stash of pumpkins in
Yes we really did have that many!
Carving out the pumpkin houses
One of the finished results
Outlining the freshly carved Jack o Lantern
Halloween:
Zombie fingers - made from chocolate fingers, pumpkin seeds and blackcurrant jam
Some of the fun cakes we made including Luce's Rocky Road Spiders
The Jack o Lantern in action
Luce, having just drawn her spider on (it is now somewhat smudged)
The Witch Cake
Snacks table
Spiders!
Toes - made of hotdog sausages, tomato sauce and tortillas
Our pumpkin village

Frogspawn jacket potatoes for dinner
We've had so many Trick or Treaters tonight, some of them had put so much effort into their costumes and were lovely - it was so much fun to see them all. A group of 13 year old zombie schoolgirls (read tarty schoolgirls) not quite so nice, but you can't have it all!
Now I'm off to watch The Witches, (it's something we do every year) and eat a massive amount of sugar.
See you all tomorrow lovelies, I hope you had an awesome night!
Lea

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was my first Halloween doing something more than handing out sweets and it was so much fun! x
DeleteGreat photos! It must be fun with those creative pumpkins. Halloween isn't celebrated much in my country - but it always been fascinating whenever I watch tv or read stuff involving halloween. :)

Thanks, we had a great time carving the pumpkins! x
DeleteThanks for the heads up! x
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin carving, I'm sure it was such a lovely party :-).
ReplyDeleteMycrushcouture.blogspot.com
Yeah we had a great time! Thanks hun :) x
DeleteI LOVE all your Halloween ideas and have to implement some of them next year! And your pumpkins are really adorable. :) I feel like i haven't *seen* you in forever - whenever I tried to access your blog (from your url that you leave in your comments), my work computer blocks me saying there is some kind of "dangerous" html - I realized it's because there is a little typo in your address (www.shebeginstosee.BLGOspot.com) that takes readers to an ad site - I wanted to let you know in case it's happening to others. Hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Thankyou so much for letting me know! I'll make sure I check it much closer next time. Once I write out my signature I copy and paste it on to the end of my comments so that would be why it was consistently wrong. I'm so sorry hun! x
DeleteFood looks delicious. I wish Australians got more into Halloween :(
