Dallen's new "dew"! I love it! He is so handsome! He went today and got it cut and styled. The color and cut that was done on saturday was terrible and Dallen hated it. But we both love his looks now!








Dallen's mad scientist style. Not so good. He disliked it and so did I.







Just a bit too over the top and punk rocker for me.

Candy Corn Bark Recipe | RecipeGirl.com



Candy Corn Bark Recipe RecipeGirl.com: Candy Corn Cookie Bark
Yield: About 2 dozen pieces
Prep Time: 25 min + chill timeCook Time: 2 min This is so easy to make and it will be well received by eager dessert eaters. It's very sweet, so the smaller you can get the pieces- the better.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups bite-sized chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), some sliced in half
1 1/2 to 2 cups broken-up pretzel pieces
1 cup candy corn
1 lb white chocolate (chocolate wafers work best... try Wiltons or Merckens brand)
1 tsp. shortening
brown and orange colored sprinkles
Directions:
1. Place waxed paper on large cookie sheet. Spread 1 cup of cookies, 1 cup of pretzel pieces and about 3/4 cup of the candy corn into a 13×9-inch rectangle on the waxed paper.
2. Place chocolate and shortening in glass measuring cup and heat in microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir and then microwave for about another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
3. Drizzle melted chocolate immediately over cookie mixture, spreading with greased spatula (if needed) to coat evenly. Top with reserved cookies, pretzels, candy corn and colored sprinkles. Work quickly before chocolate hardens.
4. Place into refrigerator or freezer until firm. Remove and gently break apart into small pieces for serving. Store in airtight container.
Tips:
*Substitute large chocolate sandwich cookies for bite-sized, if desired (break them into pieces).
*Substitute M&M candies for chocolate sandwich cookies, if desired.
*Substitute Cheerios for pretzels, if desired.
*For easy breaking, use a sharp knife to press into the cookie bark- it will break apart easily.

We traveled to California last week. It was a wonderful trip. We went to Yosemite and the above picture is one of the many wonders in Yosemite National Forest. It is called El Capitan. It was amazing. We also went to San Francisco and a few other places in California. I will post later and blog about the whole trip. It was fun and amazing and I learned things about nature that I might not have otherwise.

Spencer's Wedding

Spencer was married on July 30th. It was a nice occasion. We loved meeting Melody's family from New York. Her grandma was a nice lady. She had a cute personality. We really enjoyed meeting her Uncle and Aunt, Paul and Marge. It was nice to have family and friends celebrate with them on their wedding day. And they are living happily ever after. Now you know The rest of the story! We also enjoyed seeing her parents and her sister and brother. I have to say, the dancing was the best part of the whole wedding. We loved it and so dis the grand kids.

I just created my first Halloween Subway Art!


I am so tickled at how my Halloween Subway Art turned out! I may be prejudiced, but I love it and think it is cute. Especially because I designed it myself. I am going to get a 12 x 12 frame to put it in. I am just so happy at how it turned out. Hurray! I have been wanting to do one for quite sometime and this afternoon I sat myself down, took a deep breath and told myself that I could do and I did. I will just have to design one for Thanksgiving and for Christmas! Hope you all enjoy! It was fun!!! You should try it yourself sometime. I have been making alot of fun Halloween projects this month. I get a bit carried away when getting ready for Halloween and the other holidays coming up. Well have a wonderful rest of the day everyone!
