Pumpkin Everything

Pumpkin Everything! 

Let's talk pumpkin. It's that time of year when pumpkin makes its way into everything. I love pumpkin and enjoy it in as many forms as I can from late September until December. Getting my vitamin A on. 

While at the store this past weekend, many a pumpkin item made it into my cart. Lets take a look shall we,


Pumpkin tonic from Cost Plus and pumpkin hard cider from ACE. The tonic is very tasty. Nice spicy bite to it. The hard cider is good too but as my man said, very sweet. This is for adults only. It was good but I had to sip it as it is very sweet.    
Pumpkin Hard Cider, Pumpkin Soda
 Breakfast is getting tasty around my house. Thomas English Muffins in pumpkin spice are good with plain butter but get a fall upgrade with pumpkin butter. I picked up this pumpkin butter at Cost Plus and it is so good and made in my home state. Bonus! Creamy, melt in your mouth fall goodness. 
Pumpkin Butter, Pumpkin Muffins
 Now I am not a fan of Oreo's. I know. I know. How could I not like Oreo's and why did I pick up a bag of them if I don't like them. Well...I don't like the chocolate ones. These aren't chocolate. They're pumpkin! and yes, they are good. Very mild pumpkin spice flavor. 
Pumpkin Oreo
 M & M's. Another candy I'm not a big fan of. Yes, I am well aware I am weird. I of course had to try these because, say it with me, they're Pumpkin! These have a slight pumpkin taste to them and I bet they would be delicious in cookies. 
Pumpkin M & M's
 Now this is my weakness. Ice cream. Growing up I would eat half the carton at one sitting. Every fall I look forward to Dreyer's  pumpkin ice cream. Add a little Smuckers Salted Caramel on there and you have one yummy fall after dinner or for dinner treat. 
Caramel Sauce, Pumpkin Ice Cream. Pumpkin Dessert
See any pumpkin products you want to try? 
I'd love to hear what you think of them. 

None of these companies provided me with any of these products. I bought these all on my own and all opinions are mine.

Ghouls Night Out-Pro Shots Part One

Finally, as promised, the pro shots of the Ghouls Night Out party. You may have noticed, I've been a bit absent from the blog lately. New carpet in my office had me sick for 4 weeks. My creative brain was on vacation. Boo! It's back now! Blog posts will resume at their usual appointed times of Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  

Snapshot in Time Photography captured these gorgeous shots. 

The inspiration for this party was the Ghouls Night Out sign I spotted at my local Goodwill. I hung it from the sign post my friend from Bubble Off Plumb created for a Halloween party we hosted a few years back, added some spider webs, black fish net and a tulle wreath I created.

 I love these little coffin box's from Michael's Crafts. You can use them as invitations, decor or party favors. Details are a part of all my parties, such as the  Mini tulle poms tied to the stems of the glasses and glitter bats perched on the edge.

When I saw this gorgeous purple fabric in Jo-Ann's I knew I had to have it for this party. I love fabric but can't sew so I use it as table linen.

 SK Designs created these ghoulishly etched martini glasses for the party. I could have used regular martini glasses but I'm all about the details and the etching and the tarnished bases give the glasses a haunting look.

 There's so many more photo's I can't wait to inspire you with. Be sure to come back on Wednesday and Friday this week.

Ghouls Night Out-Dessert Table


Ghouls Night Out-Dessert Table

A few weeks ago I told you I'd share with you the dessert table of the Ghouls Night Out party.  It's finally here! These are my photo's, not the professionals. The professionals photo's I'll be sharing later this month. 

Bootiful ghoulish cake created by Fancy Cakes and adorable fondant pumpkin by Danielle's Sweet Side.

 I had to move the party indoors after Snapshot in Time got her shots because it started raining. You'll want to be sure to check back here for the professional shots. The dessert table looks positively ghoulish. 

Fairy Dust Sphere's by 4Kids Cakes. They were a tasty lemon flavor. 
Plain sticks wouldn't do for this party. Jewel sticks from Painting Paris Pink were just what these fairy dust sphere's called for.

 I love the details of a party and my friends notice too, often pointing them out at my parties.  Plain wood spoons from Celebration Lane get spookified with a stamp. Jazz up plain plastic cups with jewel stickers and glittery bats from Kima's Konfections.

I can't wait to show you the professional shots in the upcoming weeks. I missed so many details due to the rain. 

If you like what you see from the vendor's but don't see it in their shops send them a message. They'd be happy to recreate it for you.

September To Do List


I came across Mrs. Lilien's September to do list on her Twitter and thought, what a great idea! I'm always making daily to do lists but I haven't done a big picture monthly one. Her post says, "Speaking of, what's on your monthly to do list? Indulge me, I insist!"  So here it is Mrs. Lilien and Fizzy followers. 

What's on your September to do list?

Ghouls Night Out- Welcome

Welcome to Ghouls Night Out 

Back in mid-August I gave you a sneak peek of this party. That post has the pro shot by Snapshot in Time Photography. The following pictures I took. 


Welcome to Ghouls Night Out.  
This party started when I spotted the Ghouls Night Out sign in my local Goodwill. I envisioned a party as soon as I saw it. 
Welcome to Ghouls Night Out
Many of these items I already had in my Halloween stock. Wreath by me, Bats by Kimas Konfections , Glasses by SK Designs 

 Can I interest you in a beverage?
Gorgeous fabric you see in stores make great table linens. Make use of items you already own when throwing a party. That table is storage bins.

***EXCITING NEWS****

Woo Hoo! Wednesday Halloween Entertaining

Woo Hoo! Wednesday Halloween Entertaining 

It's that time of year again. Pottery Barn's page is full of their fabulous Halloween entertaining items.  I drool every year when I see what they have to offer.  Of course I love the most expensive items which makes them Woo Hoo! Wednesday worthy.

 For all you medieval lovers out there, the dragon platter, just $99
