Peanut Butter Blossoms

mmmm....Chocolate and Peanut Butter....sooo good!

1 pkg, Hershey's Kisses

sift together:
3 1/2 cups flour                1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda

cream together:
1 cup butter                     1 cup peanut butter
gradually add:
1 cup sugar                      1 cup brown sugar
Cream well.
add:
2 eggs                             2 tsp. vanilla

Beat well. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Shape dough into ball using a rounded teaspoon for each. These are smaller than I normally make my other cookies. But you don't want these too big! Roll balls in a bowl of white sugar and place on baking sheet. Bake at 375* for 10 minutes. remove from oven. Press a chocolate candy kiss in the center of each cookie.
Return to oven for about 2 minutes{ Don't allow candy to melt to much!}.

Turkey Cookies

Today it was my daughters turn to bring a snack and show-n-tell to pre-school. You will remember I made turkey cookies last year for her to take. They were okay, but not as cute as I thought they would be. So we tried a different type of turkey cookie this year...

Cute little booger, ain't he?

Thanksgiving Decor

This isn't a typical Thanksgiving quote, but I love it! I found the charger at Wal-Mart last month for $3. They might be cheaper now that they are starting to clearance the fall stuff to make room for Christmas stuff. But $3 is still a great deal! The white vinyl doesn't quite go, I think a cream or off-white would have been better. But I don't have those colors, so I just used what I did have!

VInyl~ Not JUST for decorating Part 2

Okay, not the best picture, it's kinda fuzzy. And I don't have the prettiest feet either. You remember I showed you here how I used vinyl to cut out decals for bikes?
Now I want to show you how you can look like you spend money on making your toes pretty, when in reality, it's sooooo cheap!
I cut shapes out of vinyl and then put them on my toes! SO cute, huh?

After I put the vinyl on, I add a layer of clear nail polish, to seal it. It looks like I go to the salon weekly to have my toes made up, but I don't! I just do it at home!
Yesterday I cut some bats out of black vinyl. I think I'll go buy some orange nail polish and make my toes a little more Halloweenish!

Outdoor Fall Decorating.

Okay, I am not the best nor the most creative decorator. But I tried my hand at turning the outside of my home into looking a little more fall/Halloween looking.
My flowers pots I have on either side of my garage have died. I thought about planting some fall mums in them, then decided to just fill them with pumpkins and squash. I stuffed some fallen leaves in between the pumpkins and such as well.{that bush in the background will turn a fiery red soon. I LOVE it!}

I have a bench next to my porch that I put a couple of pumpkins and squash on. I think we might stuff some of hubbie's old clothes and make a scarecrow to sit on the bench as well.

I took branches left over from when we trimmed our apples trees in the spring and sprayed painted them black. Then my pre-schooler and I put some spider webs on them and a couple of spiders.{we need to buy more of those spiders, I don't know where they all go!} We then stuffed the branches into our flower pots and added more pumpkins and squash!

I tied some Halloween ribbon I got from Wal-Mart last year when it went on clearance around my lights.

I moved my wood pumpkins I showed you here, onto my porch.{I still think I want to make a third one}.

And here's a picture of my porch. Not the best looking, but I feel like every year I get a little better! And I don't think I'm quite done with the porch yet, maybe add some corn stalks, and such.
