Love the energy … and those tangerine pumpkins 🙂
Susanna holds several contests each year ~ Spring, 4th of July, Halloween, Christmas. She gets a great response because she makes them FUN.
Those fruit treats make me want to go to a party!
Sounds like fun, Nancy! Oh, I love those banana ghosts!
A great and healthy treat for little goblins! Just bananas & raisins.
Sounds exciting. But then anything you share always does, Nancy. 🙂
Thanks, Don! Consider entering . . . the more the spookier!
Whenever I see all the cool and crafty things people are doing these days (case in point, the banana ghosts and tangerine pumpkins) I thank the stars that I wasn’t a mom to youngsters in the age of Pinterest. I never could have kept up. 🙂
Haha! Exactly.
What I like about these is that they are NOT fussy. Peeling bananas and clementines is faster than baking trays of cookies . . . and the result is darling and healthy.
Agreed! These are two crafty things I *could* actually do. 🙂
We could nail ’em!
Thanks for the heads up on the contest. My favorite Hallowe’en treat this year: unpeeled apple slices, one side of each spread with peanut butter, miniature marshmallows positioned as teeth on one apple slice, second apple slice placed on top of teeth. It’s a very ghoulish grin!
That sounds like another healthy creation for ghosts, goblins, and ghouls. Thanks, VG.
Susanna’s contests are so much fun…I’m looking forward to reading your entry, Nancy! You are always so creative. 🙂 🙂
You too! Hope you’re enjoying the colors of Fall with your grandson.
I am, Nancy…and life is so busy that I barely have time to read blogs and comment on them…but it is lots of fun. See you at the Halloweensie Contest. 😉
I don’t know where the time goes. Wasn’t it just Memorial Day?
Love the pumpkins, what do you use for stalks?
I’m pretty sure it’s small celery sticks.
Ah, that is what I thought. Great idea and easy peasy!
That’s what I love about it . . . it’s easy, quick, fun, and healthy.
OhMyGosh, the clementines, um pumpkins.. darling!!! So are the ghosts!!!!
Aren’t they great. Perfect for even a small get-together since they can be fixed in minutes.
Those spooky treats look scary-good! I never make pretty treats like that because my boys are famous for snacking on stuff as I cook… they would never get completed 🙂
These would be GREAT for them to snack on ~ just fruit and veggies. Nothing to rot out their teeth or make them look like the Great (rotund) Pumpkin.
You’re so good at these contests, Nancy! There is such an art to being clever and in brevity. 🙂
Thanks, Debra. I’ve had lots of fun with Susanna’s contests. It’s great to see how much we can say with only 100 words.
