S'More [aka: Witch Way To Corpus Christi]...

What's Halloween without treats?
1] I signed up long ago for an emailing from Better Homes and Gardens. Sometimes they have nifty craft ideas, other times holiday themed emails, while other days I get recipes. This past week, I received a notice that S'Mores is all grown up. There were several different ways to make tasty treats within the realm of the oldie but goodie..."S'mores". This one in particular caught my eye...blackberry. YUM!!




White Chocolate & Blackberry S'mores

2] This year, I didn't buy too many witch dolls and figurines to add to my collection. Everywhere I went in search of some new ones, they seemed all the same or all too similar to the ones I already have. That's okay. But I did find three and brought them home to the others. This is an eclectic collection of what's around the house. Pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns that light up, a couple of candle holders [I show just one] that hold tea light candles, a pair of earrings I made from two necklaces [I wear earrings, rarely necklaces], and of course a spider...

...most of my witches are on the entertainment center and the fireplace mantel.

3] After an entire day outdoors the other day, working in the back yard and the resurfacing of the patio, we both were tuckered out. No cooking, no cleaning in the kitchen...we ordered pizza!! I enjoyed the dedication [and humor] of this when our pizza was delivered to the house. A cheese lover myself, I personally want to thank Stella, Nancy, Edna, Estelle and Abigail.  Y'all made my evening relaxing just 'cause you get up at 4a.m. to share your wholesome goodness with us all....each and every day, come rain or shine ---
