Halloween Witch Hat Cookies!

My mom wanted to do something fun and festive for her coworkers this Halloween. In attempt to avoid the overly cliche passing out of candy ranging from Twizzlers to Starbursts, she figured she would make some cute cookies. She googled the idea and found these super easy, fun, and inexpensive treats! I'll list the steps below along with ingredients and pictures. Sorry for the picture quality and that one sideways picture! Thanks y'all! Much love! XOXO

Ingredients
1. Fudge Striped Cookies (and yes, of course off-brand is fine!)
2. Orange Icing
3. Package of Hershey's Kisses

Directions
1. Place cookies all over a flat surface like a plate or pan
2. Put a swirl of icing (penny size) in the center of each cookie
3. Take the kiss and squish it down on the icing so it comes out around the kiss
4. And there you have it! Share, eat, enjoy!





Coolest Bed/Couch/Chair/Futon Ever!

I have no idea what this thing is or where to find one, but why don't I have one? Its so cool and convenient! You can use it for yourself, to have a social gathering, or even for a sleepover. Ahhh I can't get over how adorable this is! If any of your figure out where I can get one, tell me because I bet that is the coolest furniture store in the world! Thanks y'all
XOXO

Frat Collection T-Shirts!

http://thefratcollection.com/

These shirts are freaking awesome. Long sleeve? Got it. Short sleeve? Got it. Sweat shirt? Got it. Tank top? Got it. Whats so cool about these shirts is that they're customizable! First you choose your pocket style and then you can pick any type of shirt (long sleeve, short sleeve, etc.) and what color you want it in! Cool, right? On top of all that, there is an adorable bow tie stitched onto the pocket. AWW! I'm officially obsessed and will be ordering one for myself VERY soon.

My absolute favorite is the Cindy pocket with either a salmon or ocean breeze shirt. Having trouble deciding, they're both too cute! They could be really cute for school clubs or teams also!

This picture is not mine, but a good example of FC shirts.

Halloween Pumpkin 2012!

This year I wanted to do something different and switch things up. I decided to paint my pumpkin in addition to carving it. A new obsession of mine are monograms, so I figured I'd attempt a monogram on my pumpkin. If you want to know how I did it, the steps are listed below. I am very proud of my pumpkin this year even thought it is a little messy. I hope y'all like it! Much love and best wishes!

Until  next time, XOXO

1. Draw design onto the pumpkin
2. Cut a circular shape around the stem and remove the "cap"
3. Grab all of the goop out of the pumpkin
4. Scrape out the insides (The meat is used for pumpkin pies! TIP: The more you scrape out, the more your pumpkin will glow!)
5. Rinse out your pumpkin and dry the outside off
6. Carve out your design
7. Paint it with any color you choose
8. Add any decorations, glitter, details
9. Let it dry
10. If you wish, you could cover your pumpkin with some type of sealer or maybe even modge podge. I didn't, so I leave mine inside in case it rains.

Thanks so much, y'all!
