Grammy Goodwill: Purple Chocolat blog

I've been very lucky during the month of October. The first thing I won was this huge green pumpkin from Thrifty Crafty Girl http://thriftycraftygirl.blogspot.com/2011/10/31-days-of-halloween-fun-with-funkins.html
Priscilla has spent the entire month creating the most amazing things for Halloween. As I read each day's new creation, I realized I was in big trouble. What could I do with this big green funkin?

I decided I'd let Cate decorate it.

Cate is a small four year old, but that funkin was huge. I had thought about glitter, but there was no way Cate could handle that.

I bought these pink gems - bling - at Walmart on clearance.

I love her little hands.

See how precise she was with where she stuck them.

Look at that concentration.

Here is the finished product complete with bow and ribbon.

Her mama said it looked like it had chicken pox.

Cate didn't know what that meant.

It came with a light, but there was no way Cate

would let us cut her creation.

Also this month I won a beautiful cake stand from Purple Chocolat

Look how big that box is! It's as tall as my dining room table.

Although the tape with fragile printed on it reads this way, I found it interesting that the box was delivered standing. (See preceding picture if you've forgotten.)
