Marshmallow Flower on cupcake

I mixed blue and purple sugar, but ofcourse it can be made in different colors and with as many marshmallows as you like. They look nice in red for christmas and you can add a few green marshmallows at the bottom to look like the flower's leaves.

Love my apple!

It was really good. The apple was crisp and covered in soft caramel, not the really hard to chew kind. Thank you soooo much brother!

Day of the Dead at Hollywood Forever Cemetery

I LOVE this event and I look forward to it every year. There are some reeeeally talented people there and they show it with their paintings, sculptures, hairclips, tshirts, altars and many other things that you'll find there.

 I made 3 hairclips with roses and added them to my hair. Ofcourse I had to add a little skull to atleast one of them and then I added my Grandmother's pearl necklace too.

Black, white & pink face paint.

Pink shimmery nails with a sugar skull ring finger on the left and a cross with flowers on the right ring finger.

 

My Skeleton Jacket & the map for the event

Some of the altars are simple and even hard to see at night because they only have a few candles lighting them up. Others are way out there with paper mache statues, black lights and all sorts of stuff, but big or small, they are all created with lots of love, for very special people that are no longer with us. This year I even noticed they had a couple in honor of their dogs and THAT is soooo nice because some of us love our doggies so much.

  

Look y'all! It's sweet little TOTO!!!! Aaaaw...Toto.  



I love this one because most grandmas are the best and they do represent family. My grandmother helped my mom raise me since I was a few months old so I will forever be grateful to her. She means the world to me. She's also the glue of our family because sadly but true, we probably wouldn't even get together during the holidays if she wasn't with us. Everyone and their immediate families would probably just make their own plans for birthdays and holidays so thank God Gramy is still around to bring us together atleast twice a year. 

Day of the Dead & Black Roses

Day of the Dead paper mache boxes, chocolates and cake pops.

I made a dozen black roses with red glitter per box and tied a bow on them. The chocolate molds and the boxes can be used for day of the dead, Valentine's day, mother's day, birthdays or any other occasion.

It's Movember Party Time!

Mustaches, mustaches and more mustaches!

I had a Mustache theme party, but it wasn't because of Movember, I  actually had it at the beginning of the year to celebrate my mother's birthday.

IDEAS FOR A MUSTACHE THEMED PARTY

I added little foam mustaches to these visors so people can wear them during a game we played.

 

I saw this water idea on the internet so I added a "wet your whiskers" label to it. Under the label, I used tape with mustaches on it and I used that same tape on the forks, spoons, knives and a clean icing tub to put them in.

The napkins were folded into little bow ties and held together with a little light blue strip of paper.

This mustache frame wasn't for the party. I made it for a different occasion, but it's an idea for mustache lovers, movember party pictures, or anything else. I used mod podge to glue and seal the scrapbook page on a wooden frame.

This is actually a banner I made for the party. It had 5 quares. The 1st one said Thank You and the other 3 spelled out M-O-M and the 5th square had the pinwheel, 3 rhinestones and a stick on mustache as shown on the picture. 

I cut out circles in bright colors, stamped mustaches to some of them and glued them to curling ribbon and this was used to decorate the photo booth. I also punched out 1 inch circles, stamped mustaches on them and scattered them on a table that was covered in a black tablecloth and it gave it a really cool pop of color. 

This I hung on the wall for the photo booth background. I made it out of cardstock, posterboard, colorful tissue paper and lots of black glitter for a glittery mustache! Glitter makes everything better!

I bought a bunch of mustaches in different colors and sizes and I put one in each plastic egg for my guests. I didn't want them to see what mustache they were getting and it was soooo funny because some people got gray mustaches, or little pieces even orange ones.  I also had funny glasses and a bunch of foam props that I glued wooden sticks to so they can be used in the photo booth.
