Halloween Discount Haul!

I love halloween, as you can tell from my past few posts. After halloween is over I like to score all the halloween stuff on discount. Here is my haul. I know I am bragging, but oh well I got cool stuff, be jealous!

 I got this scratch and reveal Frankenstein's Monster for $.50. I got it for the little bit.

She was not that into it, so I was bored and did the whole thing while catching up on some of my tv shows.

I grabbed these they were 50% off. I have always wanted crackle polish. The first one, the pink crackles and the other one the black crackles. I was hoping both black crackled, but oh well guess now I get more variety. I like the white with black (which is on my toes and I don't think you want to see that) the pink and black is ok. Next time I might do pink and white.

I got this Merlotte's shirt for 50% off. I love true blood, its so cheesy and funny.

Scooped up these cookie cutters, cause I needed more right. I also got a bone shaped cookie pan, but forgot to take a photo of it.

Some baking kits. Brownie spooky houses, mummy cupcakes and a cookie haunted house.
Can't wait to start the bake fest!!


Also got some stick on shadow with bats. 2 pairs of lashes, one pink and the other mirrors and stars with glow in the dark paint on the tips. Along with some stick on eyeliner. I have been wanting to try out the liners so we will see. I will post photos of them when i do try them.


  Table toppers, a pink bat and a orange pumpkin. I will use the pumpkin next year, unless I get some fall flowers then I might put it on the table with it.

The pink bat I am using to hold some of my favourite jewelry pieces. So that I remember I have them and to wear them more often.

Cute halloween mini bucket. Its holding all the candy that the little one can't take in her school lunches. Mostly chocolate and lollipops.    

Cardboard coffin, not sure what to do with it right now. I am hoping to use it as a cardholder at our wedding.

Scored these black glitter cosies for $.50

Half of on this cute frame holding an older photo of my and the mister.

I am not sure if I showed you all my skull before, paid full price for him. Kinda want to turn him into something more than a tea candle holder. Almost wish he would hold my phone at night or something.

Also grabbed another black pumpkin and a cute little sliver one. Maybe I will post photos of those later. We just cleaned out the room, cause I went on a purge everything we don't need streak, and forgot to take photos of some stuff.

Halloween Degore

We didn't decorate outside this year because we were not going to be home for trick or treaters. So we decorated the inside. 
I made a halloween countdown and we have a ton of pumpkins around the house.

Got me and the man franky and bride stuff to go on our bed. All .99 at michaels.

Kris made this franky street art style pumpkin for us. Its foam so we can keep it.

I also snagged this pillow from target, to match our black and white bed. 

At target I also got a poison shaker and black glitter pumpkin. The candle holder I got last year, along with the black glitter candles.

I just got this today at walmart, 50% off. Its a wax burner.

Got this cupcake sent wax to melt in it, makes the whole house smell yummy!

Now I want to make cupcakes!!



Yesterween

So Halloween was last night. I wish I could have posted this blog sooner, but I was dead tired. 
If you have not noticed I am a huge halloween person.

We started the morning with pumpkin funfetti pancakes.

All dressed up in halloweeny gear for her pumpkin party at school. They could not wear costumes so i got her a skeleton shirt and pumpkin necklace, along with this cute pumpkin bag to hold her lunch.

 I even made her a pumpkin shaped pb&j, threw in a pumpkin cookie we made the other day, and some  frankenberry cereal. She barley ate any of it since they ate so much during the party.

Boil bubble toil and trouble! I made pumpkin soup for lunch. 

Along with bone shaped croissants. 

It turned out good, it just tasted more like it should be a sauce than a soup. 


Little bit went as Batgirl. She was so freakin cute!

 Mister man went as joker again, wearing my pants lol.

Batgirl beating up the joker! 

 Zombie baby! Already for bed after the crazy day.

Ended my night with some wine, snacks and horror movies! Yes I drink my wine with ice, I like it cold and we just bought it :)

Mockingbird Lane

I was not as disappointed with Mockingbird Lane as I thought I would be. I actually liked it. I ignored that it was not just like the original and enjoyed watching it. I wish they would continue with it. They have the full episode on hulu. Watch it and tell me what you think. 

Love how they introduce Herman with this.

My favorite part is when spiders make Lily a dress.
Its gorgeous!


Best quotes of the show; 
Herman Munster "You ate a lion while naked" 
Grandpa "The lion was naked, it seemed polite."

Grandpa "Stop playing with your food"
Eddie "I will if you will"
Marilyn "Is that happening tonight?"

They were so sweet. 

I really hope NBC gets there heads out there butts and continue with this show.


Pumpkin Spice Cookie Icing


This is the best cookie icing I ever made. I took a recipe I had and tweaked it a bit. I wish I would have taken photos of the process, but with a little one you're not focused on taking photos as much as having fun and not making a huge mess. 


* 1/3 of pumpkin spice cream cheese tub
* 4 tablespoons stick butter, room temperature
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups powder sugar

In a mixer, use the paddle. Mix the cream cheese and butter till smooth. Add vanilla. Mix in the powder sugar one 1/2 cup at a time. This is crucial, if you don't it will be hard to mix and cluppy. Mix well until smooooooooooth. I let it mix for about 5-10 minutes. I also added some red and yellow food coloring, a drop at a time, to give it a more orange look. Let the cookies sit out for a bit to harden the frosting, so you can stack them. You can put them in the fridge to do this, but I don't care for cold cookies.

Oh nos! She bit me! Must be cause I am so tasty! 

Now I must get this jar to store all my cookies in.
