I am so happy to be participating in the 2011 Swapoween, hosted by Beth and Miss Angie! This is my first ever swap, and I did not know what to expect. Mamarazzi from the wildly popular blog, Dandelion Wishes, is my swap partner. She went ridiculously overboard on all of the Halloween goodness she shared with me, and has probably spoiled me for all future swaps, LOL! My kids had so much fun over the weekend baking cupcakes and decorating the house for Halloween.
Mamarazzi did an amazing job wrapping everything so cute for me! I was so touched by the trouble she went to in making everything so festive.
Check out all this Halloween stuff!
I love the little signs. Mamarazzi knows me very well: I am a witch without my chocolate!
I love this black cat garland. It looks great in our dining room!
Here are more dining room decorations. I love the Spooky sign and blue spiders!
Eek! Isn't this sign cute!
We baked chocolate cupcakes and decorated them with the kit Mamarazzi sent. The kids loved this!
One of my favorites: the pair of candy corn dish towels. I love kitchen linens, and I didn't have a Halloween dishtowel, and now I have two!
Thanks again to Miss Angie and Beth for hosting Swapoween. This has been so much fun, and Mamarazzi made the experience so special to me. She has gotten to know me through my blog, and her choices truly reflect who I am and what I like. Thank-you, Mamarazzi!
Until next time...
Blessings!
