It was a great weekend.

this weekend was great! I got a lot done, of things that I wanted to work on. After cleaning, laundry etc. I was finally able to get to my domino's and decorate away!!
I can't wait to show you the completed pieces.. but that will probably take all week sooooo I'll just keep you guessing!
I also made some fun pony tail holders! a little too young for me but great stocking stuffers!
We also drove down to visit Mr. Produce's mom. She was in great spirits, laughing and joking around. Her teeth don't fit anymore, but that doesn't stop her from smiling and talking and teasing her boys!!! yea for you Katherine

Food Fun Friday- Monster Munch

I was given a gift of Monster Munch a couple of weeks ago. One taste is all it took!!
I TOO need to give gifts of Monster Munch, mean I don't need to eat it, I'm eating healthy, right??

Monster Munch
1/2-2/3 C unpopped popcorn
1 pkg Almond Bark
1 C Reeses Pieces
1 C Candy Corn
1 C peanuts

START out with the biggest bowl in the house, even if you think it is way too big, it won't be!! (my first mistake). Pop the Popcorn. Melt the Almond Bark in the microwave in a microwave save bowl.
In the XXL bowl (not a cookie sheet, my second mistake) pour the melted bark over the popped corn. Add the candy and peanuts (only I didn't add peanuts because I don't like them...ahhh not that I'm eating this... ahhh a lot of people don't like peanuts and might be allergic, yea, that's it.)
you're done.

I'm putting mine in baggies and bringing them to work. (that way it is even-steven for how much you get) Or you could put it in a fancy waxpaper bag with a super-duper cute label for Halloween! (which of course I did but forgot to take a picture!!!)

enjoy

Old Life vs New Life

In my old life I was pretty outgoing! (drama major). I love COSTUMES
I loved dressing up.. so Halloween & Costume parties were "My Thing'And my kids ALWAYS had home made costumes... such fun finding and creating costumes! My sister did too (JJ as the grouch below)
ok, Kieri was the one who really like my creative costume ability... didn't you?? come on tell me you did!
This one of "Mermaid and Pearl" won the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival Contest!
I still found time to make costumes for me AND for my friends!
and I had some wild friends!!!
ok I look pretty wild too... well I had been dead for years and was visiting from the 'other world'
now my life is pretty (REALLY dull) tame. I don't dress up at all... well I do wear these:
and I am contemplating making this to wear to work Friday:
AND EMILY THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!!!!!
AHH memories.... creative sweetness.
