Day 12

Today is all about BOO-ing so I wanted to include a recipe that is SOOOOOO DELISH and can easily be made to look like little ghosts!  Technically they are Oreo Truffles (oh, YUM!) but this season we will call them:

Ghost Truffles

bakerella.com

1 package oreo cookies
1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)

white chocolate bark

1. Finely crush 7 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.  Set aside.
2. Crush remaining cookies and stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.
3. Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.

**hint** put balls in freezer so they are easier to dip in chocolate.
4. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. You can sprinkle the tops with the 7 crushed cookies for decoration.
*refrigerate when dry- or just eat them all!!

I so love being BOO-ed!!  Unfortunately, I don't live in a neighborhood so my chances of being BOO-ed are slim.  However, I certainly can BOO someone else.  And so can you!  I just found this poem yesterday and I simply LOVE it!  There are less than 20 days until Halloween!  So get BOO-ing!

The air is cool, the season fall,

Soon Halloween will come to all.

Ghosts and goblins, spooks galore…

Tricky witches at your door.

The spooks are after things to do,

In fact a spook brought this “Boo” to you!

The excitement comes when friends like you,

Copy this note and make it two.

We’ll all have smiles upon our faces,

No one will know who “BOO”ed who’s places!

Just two short days to work your spell,

Keep it secret, hide it well.

Please join the fun, the season's here .

Just spread these “BOO’s” and Halloween cheer.

For todays craft I wanted to include a FREE PRINTABLE version of the BOO-ed poem so you can print it off and BOO someone this very night!  I left it pretty plain (black and white) because the person you are BOO-ing will have to make a copy of it.  But you can still dress it up cute!

Have a BOO-tiful night!!

"spooky,"

"haunted,"

or "forbidden" in the title.

I have been wanting to make Halloween napkins for so long and I just LOVE this skull image from the Graphics Fairy and the Bleeding Cowboy font.  I paired them up in word then printed them on Avery fabric transfers and ironed them on to white napkins.  I bought these napkins at Walmart- 2 for $3!  Not bad at $1.50 each!   I can't wait to use them for a dinner party!  I'm also including a 

FREE PRINTABLE of the images!!

And here are the images so you can use them for your Halloween projects!  Don't forget to use the mirror images if you plan on using transfer paper.  

I'm linking this up to:

Why not have a snack that looks spooky but is healthy?!

Vegetable dip

4 long carrots

1 medium carrot

softened cream cheese

sliced almonds

Fill a serving bowl with your favorite vegetable dip. With a paring knife, cut a flat, shallow notch in the tip of each carrot. 

Then use a dab of dip or softened cream cheese to glue a sliced-almond fingernail atop each notch.  Stick the fingers in the dip, as shown, and serve with plenty of baby carrots for dipping.Wash and peel 4 long carrots for fingers and 1 medium carrot for a thumb.  

Hark! Hark to the wind! 'Tis the night, they say,
When all souls come back from the far away-
The dead, forgotten this many a day!

FREE PRINTABLE!
Halloween Subway Art-
I just love these simple little art pieces!  Most of them that I have seen use vinyl lettering but some people don't have nifty cutting machines and so I decided to make a printable one.  The first version is just black lettering on a white background.  This one would be cute printed on a colored paper or just plain white paper. 

The next one has colored words on a white background.

  

All you have to do is print it off and put it in a frame!

I picked this frame up at the dollar store.  I decided to paint it black.

If you are interested in the Word file, email me.  Then you can change the colors to whatever you want!
