I knew I wanted to call the cupcakes at the “One”der the Sea Party crab cakes but it was so expensive to buy individual crab toppers and I’m not skilled in any way with fondant so I thought this would work best. I used my Cricut to cut out these crabs. The cartridge was Life’s a Beach and I cut them to be 3 inches. After I just drew on the details, did a lot of hole punching for the one crab’s cheeks and taped them to lollipop sticks.
I had our Halloween activities day at my house. I thought it’d be fun to do a spooky dinner and then play Halloween jeopardy after. We feasted on Zombie Brains & Witch Eyes: Purple spaghetti & meatballs with olives. Withered leaves: Salad. Vampire Repellent: Garlic Bread
We had our annual Halloween party last night! It was a lot more low key than usual, I didn’t even send out actual invites this year…only texts! Gasp, the horror! I’m still surprised at the things that have become harder now that I have someone else to add into the equation but it turned out spooktacular! We went as Raggedy Ann & Andy plus our cute kitty cat! The 9 hours I spent making those wigs, pulling every single thread through the beanies, were totally worth it because they really made the costumes!
We had Brielle’s Blessing today. I was a wreck for at least 2 weeks before it trying to get everything finished, because I can’t do anything without it being way overboard. Insert eyeroll from everyone that knows me since I just can’t help it. I bought her dress online but my mom removed the sleeves and it was perfect! She looked so beautiful in it! The morning of the blessing was a mad house here. My whole family came over and helped us set up for the luncheon and my mom helped me get Brielle fed, bathed and dressed. Then we all got ready here and went to church together. There was so much hustle and bustle (and stress on my part) I felt like we were getting ready for a wedding. Oh, heaven help us when she actually gets married! 😉 After she was blessed we had a luncheon for family and friends that were there to celebrate the occasion with us.
