tRUNK OR tREAT

Hope everyone had a great Halloween

We participated in Trunk OR Treat at our church

and I of course decorated for the occasion.

What a great time we had!

No this is not my grand baby but one of the little ones

 that I get to love on and get hugs and kisses from.

Her and her 2 sisters were the three little pigs 

and her brother was the big bad wolf.

Yes that is 4 and  there is  one more brother.

Lots of hugs and sweetness!

(So proud of hubby he has lost over 50 lbs!)

I have been busy with making plans for 

dinner for 30 last week and have 12 on Friday night.

Photos of tables soon!

Guess I am out of my retirement blahs!

 First I hope everyone is enjoying the change in the weather.

 Air conditioner off and windows open. 

The trees are turning and I finally think

 Mother Nature has  got her calendar straighten out.

My daughter has embarked on a new adventure.

 She is now a Pink Zebra consultant and 

had her launch party here last night. 

(What we do for our children)

Pink Zebra is a unique scented wax melt that 

are available in over 50 different scents.

 I have included the link below for you to check out this new product. 

My house really does smell wonderful!

Of course you know I had to meet her theme of Pink Zebra

 so just wanted to show you a few photos

 of the launch party refreshment table.

No plastic tonight, I pulled out glass snack trays, glass cups 

and my cut glass punch bowls.

 Recently a few ladies and I decided that we need

 to start using those items that we are saving.

 Why save them USE them and enjoy. 

So I did, several ladies made comments

 that they also had there's packed away.

 Lucky me!

Zebra napkin rings found antiquing recently.

Our menu:  

Pink Sherbet Zesty Punch

Pink Sparkle Peanut Butter Cookies

Neiman Marcus Dip/Crackers

Fresh Apple Cake

Roll-Ups

(Lots of Pink and Black)

Daughter set up her merchandise table with of course

 Pink Zebra, black and pink.

Don't you love the turkey and pumpkin.

 I was hoping she would forget them. 

But no such luck!

Hope you check her out on Face book.

 You can contact her if you have any

 questions or want more information.

Just to let you know that she did not PAY me or 

compensate me for this information

 it is just a mom being a Mom and getting the

word out for her daughter.

Thanks for stopping by Ya'll.

Catch you later at Cuisine Kathleen
