ghost cookies are devilishly good

 
Just in time for Halloween, here's a simple recipe to make Halloween Sugar Cookies. Choose ghosts, witches, goblins or zombie shapes. Baked onto skewers, these cookies are easy to display. Insert into florist's oasis foam to give the impression of floating ghosts or wrap in a cellophane bag and hand out as favors. Yummy for all the little devils in your life. Recipe below...

Happy Halloween!

halloween decorations part one

Our household is getting VERY excited with Halloween fast approaching. With a Halloween craft party for little girls next Friday, we've started to decorate the front door with 'BOO' letters purchased from our local art shop and then painted in bright orange acrylic paint. The gorgeous flouro green witch is from Middleburg on Etsy. 'Witchie' is hand-made from papier mache over wood with red wool hair that my daughter plaited and looking quite green around the gills!
