Guess what today is?????

MY HALLOWEEN PARTY! BOOOOOOO YAHHHHHH!
Perks of living on a farm when hosting a Halloween party: Having a nice big tractor so you don’t have to drag the cornstalks to the barn by hand. Having a property that connects to the neighbours so I can so kindly make use of his out of season cow corn…he’ll never know! Hahaha…shhhh… Having a country boy as a boyfriend who so kindly just cuts several stalks down with a swiss army knife in seconds then loads up the tractor for you. :)

Y’all like my pumpkin this year? Well one of them so far..

I can’t take credit for the design though, I based it pretty much off of a photo I found here on tumblr, whoever it belonged to…

Going to possibly carve another tonight or tomorrow. I need the pumpkin seeds to roast…

Jello Worms Ingredients 2 packs (3 oz) Raspberry jello1 pkg unflavored gelatin (for extra firmness)3/4 cup whipping cream3 cups boiling water15 drops green food coloring100 flexible straws (or enough to fill your container)Tall container (1 quart or 1 liter carton of milk)Directions1) Combine gelatin in bowl and add boiling water.2) Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and 15 drops green food coloring.3) Gather your straws (don’t forget to flex them out) and put them in the container. It’s important that the straws have a tight fit so the jello stays in the straws. For this reason, a 1 liter carton may be better; you will probably get longer worms since there is a tighter fit. If you have a bigger container, a rubber band around the straws is helpful. Or you could just add more straws to fill the container.4) Add the gelatin mixture to the straw-filled container and let it set until firm.5) There are multiple ways you can remove the worms from the straws. You can roll a rolling pin over the straws and squeeze them out or you can hold the straws over warm water. The worms will slip right out. And voila! Jello worms are served.

Do you guys have any idea how bloody excited I am for this years Halloween Party?!?!

Nothing like last years rushed mess. Setting up in less than 3 hours…omg, that was hell, and it wasn’t even that pretty. 

But really this year is gunna be gooooooood!!! 

So I picked up last minute stuff today, table cloths, plates etc… 

Plus a few other things because I couldn’t resist. So I got these paper pumpkins which I adore. Some labels for pop and water bottles (beats making my own which I was going to do until now). A sign for my scavenger hunt. & Two punch bowls…plus many other things!

My picture For the love of Autumn.
Crisp days, morning dew. Hot apple cider, apple picking. Scarfs, boots and long sleeves. Warm colours, falling leaves. Mums, pumpkins and squash. Hay rides, pumpkin picking. Corn mazes, bonfires. Jack-o'-lanterns, ghosts and goblins. Halloween, trick or treating. Apple pie, warm blankets. Pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving. Fire places, first snow fall. Numb noses, rosy cheeks. ---------------------------------------------------------- I'm a 22 year old going on 23 that is still in love with Halloween, Heck you're never too old for Halloween, that's what I think.

I will continue having parties into my later adult years, until I can no longer marvel in the season that is Autumn, and the event that is Halloween.

I hope you enjoy my journey into the up coming autumn season, and my love for everything Halloween. My party this year is going to be big! I'm making some of these recipes and crafts come to life pretty soon. So stay tuned and keep an eye out for all my experiences in this upcoming fall season!

Yours Truly, Amanda.
