Happy Halloween!


Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Wednesday Link Party!
This weekend we got to go to the pumpkin patch as a family, and it got me thinking.  I really haven't done any Halloween posts!  So here's what I've been working on...


This was one of Elle's costumes, I made a simple tutu (tutu tutorial), and then I dyed a onesie orange and then used a freezer paper stencil (tutorial) to paint on the pumpkin face.
 Then I made this ghost costume for a friend's daughter using the same techniques.

I made the same kind of shirt for daddy, no tutu though!


Then I made some new hair clips for my little lady to wear!





I made this onesie for Elle to wear to the Pumpkin Patch using the freezer paper technique mentioned above, then cut out Hocus Pocus using my Cricut (tutorial).

Last week we got this adorable spider hat from our library's toddler time.
Hope these ideas inspire you!

Manic Monday Recipe~Two Delicious Peanut Butter Pies



Today you get a 2-For-1 special!  I found this recipe on Pinterest for a fabulous chocolate peanut butter pie that my father-in-law and husband LOVE!  This weekend, I was looking through  my Magic of Christmas recipe book from Gooseberry Patch and found another delicious peanut butter pie that used vanilla pudding instead.  So I gave it a try and modified the recipe a bit.  I am going to give you the recipe for both.  These are such easy pies, and make a great dessert to bring to a party or get together.
Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Wednesday Link Party!

Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:
1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
2/3 C. Creamy Peanut Butter Divided Into 1/3 C.

2 C. Milk
2 1 oz. Boxes of Instant Vanilla Pudding or 1 Large Box
8 oz. Whipped Topping


Directions:
Stir together powdered sugar and 1/3 c. peanut butter.  The mixture will be crumbly.  
Spoon about 1/2 the mixture into the bottom of the pie crust.  
In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla, pudding, whipped topping and 1/3 c. peanut butter.  Use a hand mixer to really combine ingredients.
Make sure to have a dishwasher on hand :)

Add mixture into the pie crust.
Lastly, sprinkle the rest of the peanut butter/powdered sugar mixture on top of the pie.
Chill for about an hour.
