Pumpkin Ice Cream Cups

It was 95 degrees again today in Southern California, so I whipped up these little pumpkin ice cream cups were a great after school snack.  Simple scoop the pumpkin flavored ice cream into the cups and sprinkle on orange sugar.  The leaf is made out of sour patch kids and the stem is a mini wooden spoon.  There’s still time to order the baking cups

Make It Monday- Mummy Lanterns

I found lots of inspiration for these lanterns on Pinterest.  My daughter and I made big versions of these for the front porch.  It reminded me how much I love cheesecloth for Halloween.  You can wrap anything with it for a spooky effect.  Remember the cheesecloth wreath I made last Halloween (tutorial here)? Use cheesecloth to wrap any bottle, including soda bottles, for a quick,

Halloween Treats
