Evie’s Apple Dippers Recipe from Descendants

Eviies apple dippers

The Evil Queen may be stuck on the Isle of the lost, but Evie is given a chance to see the world. Directed by her mother to both help Mal steal the Fairy Godmother’s wand and find herself a prince, Evie heads out for new adventures and hopefully love. However, things don’t work out as planned and Evie is forced to make a few tough choices and grow as a person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, her tough choices take a lot of energy and she can get a little hungry. Ironically, Evie loves to snack on apples, which go great with this fruit dip. This recipe is yummy to the core!

The fruit dip is pretty easy to make, but will require adult supervision for the cutting of apples and cooking in the microwave. Grab the free recipe below by clicking print and saving it as a PDF or download the recipe card!

But when Maleficent gives her daughter a task to steal the Fairy Godmothers wand so that she could be all powerful, Mal takes this as an opportunity to earn her mother’s love. Turns out that the task isn’t that simple.

In order to steal the wand, Mal hato become Prince Ben’s girlfriend so that she can stand near the wand during his coronation ceremony. But to be Ben’s ‘girlfriend’ Mal had to concoct a Love Spell to make Ben fall for her. In the Kitchen with Carlos, Jay and Evie, Mal creates the Love Spell Cookies complete with 1 tear of sadness.

Free Halloween Coloring Page Featuring Neurotox from Slugterra

This Halloween I am creating 5 different coloring pages featuring Ghouled Slugs from slugterra. Today’s Slug is 4 of 5 featuring the Neurotox!

The Neurotox is the ghouled version of a Neotox. It has only three attacks. but they are dangerous and deadly. Spewing acid, chemical rusting and a toxic poisonous cloud are part of Neurotox deadly attacks. The Toxic cloud is so dangerous it constantly expands and is nearly impossible to stop. Without a Vinedrill that knows Vinevent and a Boon Doc that knows Healswarm the toxic poisonous cloud is endless. In the wrong hands, which being a ghoul it usually is, the slug can cause a lot of damage.

At 100 miles per hour, the Neurotox is a dark green and dark purple alligator like creature with a large jaw, huge green teeth and claws.

Hotel Transylvania 2 Free Cubeecraft of Frank

FIRE! Fire Bad! leave it to Frankenstein’s Monster to be so blunt and forthcoming about the dangers of fire. We can all learn a lesson about how hazardous a big ball of fire running through a cabin can be. Let’s just say it is down right disastrous, right up there with tossing a grandchild over a rickety tower hoping that he would sprout wings and fly. Oh wait…that happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Frank isn’t running from fire or helping to throw a baby off a tower (do not try that at home people…very unsafe), he is actually a pretty cool guy and more down to earth than most of Dracula’s friends. He is kind, lovable and like an uncle to Mavis. Frank looks at things more realistically than the other members of the Drac Pack but he will still play a prank when the opportunity arises. Murray the mummy learns this the hard way in Hotel Transylvania when Frank makes it look like Murray ‘cut the cheese.”

My Frank paper craft features Frank in his ‘working man’s suit,’ black shoes, red tie and striped shirt. Like Frank in Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2, he has grayish blue skin stitched together. Although, no amount of stitching will help keep Frank together. He seems to fall apart rather easily.

To Build the Cubeecraft:
Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife

To make:

  1. Cut out each item along the outer black lines
  2. Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife
  3. Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife
  4. Fold along each inner solid black line and slide each tab into the slots you created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the head, body, arms, and feet
  5. Slide the arms through the red slots on either side of the body.
  6. Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body.
  7. Slide the head through the red lots of the now completed body.

Frank is now complete. To download the template click the image below and save them to your computer.

DIY Star Wars Halloween Tote Bags

DIY star wars trick or treat tote bags

After such an epic day yesterday with Star Wars The Force Awakens tickets being sold and the new (EPIC) trailer, it has made me want to have Star Wars incorporated into my Halloween even more. Who am I kidding, seriously I dress as a Star Wars character every year. Unfortunately, my Halloween trick-or-treat bags have never displayed my love for Star Wars. Trust me when I say, it’s painful to have a gap in the theme. However, thanks to Disney and their awesome DIY site called family.disney.com, my family will no longer be without the proper carriers for this galactic season!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On family.disney.com, there are 4 tutorials about how to create a special Star Wars Halloween Tote Bag featuring BB-8, Kylo Ren, First Order Symbol, and a Stormtrooper. Get those scissors and felt ready because these tote bags are nothing short of awesome! To check each of these designs out and download the free templates to create your own, click on the images below and hyperspace over to the tutorial.

I have also added links to the corresponding costumes, if you haven’t already grabbed them. They make the perfect set when trick-or-treating. Of course, it is fun to mix and match. I see no reason why Kylo Ren couldn’t carry a BB-8 Tote.

DIY Star Wars BB-8 Printable Party Kit

lucasfilm2

Step aside R2-D2 there’s a new droid in town! Just Kidding. R2 will forever remain my favorite droid but BB-8 is taking a close second. In fact, BB-8 has become an internet sensation! The amazing Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid rolled off the shelves and the fun BB-8 Bobble-Head sits on almost every Star Wars Fan’s desk. His cuteness and coolness reigns supreme in the Star Wars universe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, with BB-8 becoming a huge hit, what is the first thing a Star Wars fan wants as their theme for their upcoming birthday? If you are thinking BB-8, you would be correct. However, do you know how hard it is to find BB-8 Party Supplies? Let’s just say it is nearly impossible. Oh sure, there are wall decals and Cardboard Standups but banners, cupcake wrappers and cupcake toppers are a little more difficult to find.


BB-8 Party Kit

Since it is nearly impossible to find the items I needed, I let my crafty side come out and made a DIY BB-8 Party Kit.
It includes:

  • a Banner,
  • Garland,
  • Place Card,
  • Cupcake wrappers,
  • cupcake toppers (that double as stickers),
  • printable mask,
  • name tags,
  • treat box paper craft,
  • spot the difference activity,
  • BB-8 DROID Sudoku activity,
  • and a coloring page.

If you wish to have a copy of my BB-8 Party Kit, donate $5.00 USD and I will email it to you within 48 hours. I will also include my BB-8 Puppet that can be displayed almost anywhere! It is a two page PDF: One page is a coloring page of the puppet and the other is in full color to print and create.

Spooky Halloween Eyeball Cookies Recipe

Halloween is the perfect season for us crafters and bakers to come out of hiding and show off our talents! Who am I kidding, we never hide. Our genius must be shared with the world! Trust me, the world enjoys it, and so do the kids! I do however, bake a little more around the holidays, making my famous Pumpkin Cookies, Monster Bites, and special desserts. I also like to branch out a bit and look for unique recipes I can sink my teeth into. The internet is never lacking with Pinterest, craft sites and awesome bloggers posting great ideas. So after I have done some cosplay, sewing, gluing, taping and making a fun glittery mess all over the house (that stuff gets everywhere), I like to make delicious baked treats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh yeah, these change a normal chocolate cookie into a spooky eyeball cookie. How does it feel to have your food looking at you? Muahahahahahaha!!!!!
