I have developed a skill.

It's sort of a weird skill, but being at the age where I throw quirky parties and baby showers... I think it's a good skill to have.

I make cute food.

I've been thinking about this Halloween party a lot and I realized that I've done this enough times now, I feel like I can consider it a skill set.

Dog food cake for Tolpel and Jazz's birthday party

Baby Owls for Amy's Owl themed baby shower

Baby Sheepies for Anne's "UNC Ram/baby lamb" theme Baby Shower

Noah's Ark punch for Bess' Baby shower

Settlers of Catan cakes I made for Jacob's 25th Birthday

2 Halloweens ago - there are Oreo spiders, Witches' hats, Breadstick fingers and mummies in a blanket:

And of course, last Halloween:

Yay Internetz! Without you, I wouldn't have known such things existed!

Fall is here! (And so is Halloween!)

Fall is my most favoritest season.  It's starting to get crisp, there are apples and cider and fireplaces. Mmmm.  And, my most favorite holiday party is here. Halloween.

This is the 4th annual halloween party and costume contest I've thrown, and I need to start figuring out what is going to go on my spooky table...  Last year, I impressed myself with this spooky zombie cheese head as the focus.

Recipe from the not martha blog.

(Also, candy, cookies, mulled cider and my very favorite mummies in a blanket)

But what on earth to make this year...............

The smell of spice in the air.......

Today I am identifying with this webcomic.  (It's called Wasted Talent and it's an autobiographical comic about a Canadian Mechanical Engineer named "Jam" and her boyfriend Trevor and you should totes read it cause it's awesome...)
