Final Halloween post...promise!  You can make these for Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, Valentines Day, or just because.  They are hands down my most requested treat (other than these).  They take a little time, but the end result is magnifico'!

 Can she build it?  Yes she can!  I saw this idea online and thought it was a great idea!  I went to Lowe's, picked up a 4x6 piece of wood, 1/2 inch drill bit and two 1/2 inch dowels and sandpaper.  (Just ask the nice guys at Lowe's if you have no idea what I'm talking about *wink*).  This project literally took about an hour from beginning to end.  Cut your board to size (mine is about 22 inches long). I cut two dowels to 13.5 inches and two to 10.5 inches.  Since I had a party of 16, I wanted a doughnut stand with 4 dowels.  Drill holes every 4.5-5 inches.  Make sure you don't drill all the way through your 4x6.  Sand the board and the dowels.  Dust off the wood shavings and wipe down with a damp cloth.  Insert dowels into holes and wa-la!  So cute huh.  I'm partial to the natural wood look.  You could also decorate the side with washi tape or stickers, ribbon or paint.   One board will make 3-4 doughnut stands.  You need one dowel per doughnut stand.  Get busy and have fun!

 

Hey Ghouls and Goblins.  I know, I know, Halloween is over but, I also know that since you are all friendly, compassionate readers, you will refer to this post and realize that my hands were tied in the frenzy leading up to All Hallow's Eve.  Therefore, I am still posting a few recipes and entertaining ideas that you can pin or file or clip and save it for next year.  Then, when next Halloween rolls around, you will have all of these neatly filed ideas that no one else is doing.  Your neighbors will be amazed and your children will be impressed.  This year we drank a delicious concoction named Blood Punch.  It is easy to make and has a surprising citrus taste.  My kids loved it.
