Happy Halloween!!!
First, here are the tombstones, or headstones, for Halloween. These were fun to make. I don't know if you can tell, but the flowers are supposed to be wilted like an old neglected grave.

I used AmeriColor Gourmet Writers (food coloring pens) to write the names.

....and here they are all bagged up and ready. My husband is taking some to his customers today. :)

OK....so a "brush with Martha." Really, it's not so much HER, but as close as I'll ever get. :) Do you read Martha's Everyday Food blog? It's called
Dinner Tonight, and is one of the blogs in my google reader. Well, today they have a link to some of their
"favorite creations" from a gallery of creepy treats submitted by readers.
Guess who had 2 cookies make the list....ME!!! This just makes my day! Is it sad that I had to get up and do a little "happy dance" when I saw them? Maybe...probably! :)
See if you can spot them. And, have a wonderfully sweet and spooky Halloween! BOO!
Sooo cute as always!! So how long did it take you to come up with the names? =s
