On Saturday we are having an Under the Sea birthday party for Gabbers. She's celebrating her EIGHTH birthday!
In preparation something good AND bad has happened. I have discovered Pinterest. That octopus was on there. Oh my. There are so many wonderful crafts and holiday decorations and goodies and party ideas and presents and organization tips and on and on!
I have been pinning and having too much fun. Ah yes, I have been procrastinating my time away.
I want to make this:
I would LOVE to bake and decorate for Halloween but I need to focus on baking and decorating for Gabbers' birthday party. This IS the year for her big friend birthday party. So I have to file away my fun ideas for next year when I don't have a big party to plan.
However, it hasn't stopped me from making a pumpkin basket craft with the kids (that I cut on my Silhouette) and painting pumpkins (we were given a dozen on Sunday while we waited in the van during Danny's meeting). Pictures later.
Today I learned how to make these:
Picture and tutorial here. (and p.s. if you add a half teaspoon of shortening to about 1 1/4 cup candy melts when melting, it makes it smoother and easier to coat the marshmallows.)
Have you seen any cute crafts or goodies lately you couldn't resist adding to your to-do list?

I'm addicted to pinterest. Those are really cute halloween treats.
Yep, Hot-dog mummies. I'm hoping to make them on Halloween or some time this week. Also, I just browsed pintrest for a minute and found some delicious looking cookies. Maybe it's a bad thing that I requested an invitation. :)
