Halloween Bingo

Fall, Games, Halloween, Printables, , , , ,

Here is a cute little bingo game that you could play for FHE, a school party, or at your own Halloween party!

There are 6 game boards and 2 pages of calling cards.  You can use M&M’s or candy corn for markers, or buttons or paper circles.  You may want to laminate the playing cards for durability.

To print, just right click and go to copy.  Open your favorite program, like word or any other program you like. Right click again and go to paste.  These are 8 1/2 x 11 format, but you could resize them to fit 2 on a page in landscape setting.

Happy Haunting!

You can also email these to a lot of your favorite copy stores and they can print them for you.  Alphagraphics in my area, will print them for .56 a page, and that is on cardstock, so that is a pretty good price.  You could also have them laminated (I am not sure of the price of lamination, but their prices seem to be very reasonable) and you would just have to go pick them up and cut them out and you are ready to go!

French Cocoa

Friends, Printables, Recipes, , , , , ,

It is a cold, rainy, dreary day outside today.  Perfect for staying indoors with  a big mug of hot chocolate with the fireplace going and a good book to read, wrapped up in your favorite quilt!  At least until you have to get on with real life!  But you could at least make a big mug of hot chocolate!

A  few years ago my friend, Leslie, gave me this recipe for French Cocoa.  I really was not a great fan of hot chocolate…but I guess that I am now!

To make this French Cocoa you will put the unsweetened chocolate squares, sugar and water into a pan. (I am only making 1/2 of the recipe, because it is too big for my empty nester family.) Bring to a boil and let it boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Then let it cool to room temperature.Whip your cream until it is very stiff.Fold the cooled chocolate into the cream.This is heaven, folks!  At this point you can just refrigerate until you want to make French Cocoa. (Try not to eat the whole bowl before you make the cocoa. I may or may not have had a few tastes!)Or you can take a large icecream scoop…And scoop onto a cookie sheet.  I lined mine with parchment paper so they would come right off after freezing them. Flash freeze for about 2 hours, then put into a freezer container. (Half of the recipe makes about 12 servings)To make your cocoa, heat milk in a mug until very warm.  Add one scoop of the chocolate mixture and watch the foam start to form!

This truly is a great comfort drink and warms you all the way to your toes!  You need to try this recipe.  It is Heaven!

Here is the printable recipe.  To print-right click on the image, go to copy, then open your favorite program, like word.  Right click again and go to paste.

 It is a 4 x 6 format so it will fit in your recipe box!

Oct. VT Message

Church, Printables, VT Handouts, , , , ,

I thought that the message this month was so good, that I wanted to incorporate the whole thing into this month’s handout.  I came up with this cute library pocket holding 3 tags with the message, “If We Do Not Doubt”.  It is tradition in our house to make chocolate, carmel apples to take for a treat in Oct.  I will be doing that again this year, but I will post the how-to on the apples later!  So just imagine that this is given with an apple tied up with a cute ribbon!You need to cut out the library pocket, the 3 tags and the front panel.  Fold the library pocket and the flaps. Do not worry about the line across the front of the card, it will be covered up with the front panel.Fold the flaps to the back of the pocket.And glue or use double sided tape to hold the flaps down.Next, glue or tape the front panel on.Punch a hole in the top of the three tags and tie together with some cute ribbon.And there you have it!  Like I said, I will give this with a carmel apple, but you could also just insert a candy bar into the pocket!Here are the printables for this month.  Just right click on your mouse and either copy and paste into your favorite program, or just click print picture.  The two printable pages are in 81/2 x 11 format.

Happy Visiting!

Just Peachy!

Fall, Printables, Recipes, , ,

I went out last Sat. night and noticed that my peaches were ready to pick!  The reason I knew they were ready was because the birds had started eating them!  I was bound and determined not to let the birds win, so my husband and I went out and picked them all.  This tree is only 3 years old and it was loaded this year.  I should have thinned them out a little more because they were not really big, but that is ok, because they have a fantastic flavor!I bottled peaches on Monday and I love to see all the bottles lined up on my cupboard before I put them away in the pantry.  I think that they look so pretty.Then I had to make this yummy fresh peach dessert.

I’m in Heaven!Here is the recipe, if you have any peaches around, you should seriously make this dessert!

Tomorrow I am going to flash freeze the rest of the peaches on a cookie sheet so that I can make smoothies with them!  Yum!

The Little Bat Screamed Out in Fright

Fall, For the Home, Halloween, Printables, Quotes, , , , ,

I got my fireplace mantle decorated, with the help of my super little helper!  When I picked up my granddaughter from school, I asked her what we should do today, and she said “Put out all the Halloween decorations!”  I decided that perhaps it was time and so that is what we did.  Here is the result!This is the printable that I have for you today!

 I did it in an 8×10 format and I sent mine to Costco to print.  It cost $1.49! And it is a nice printing job!This is my little Halloween witch that I got at a little shop in Midway, Utah a couple of years ago and I just love her face and pumpkin dress!Here is the printable for you to enjoy!  As I said it is 8×10 so you can frame it if you choose.

Halloween Bunting!

Crafts, Fall, Halloween, Printables, , , , , ,

Here is a fun trick or treat bunting printable just in time to get you ready for Halloween!  Excuse my empty fireplace mantle, I took down what was on it, because it did not match and I have not yet put up my Halloween decorations. (I have been given strict orders by one of my granddaughters that I have to wait until she can help me… and she is only 5 years old!)  :)

You will need to print the next 6 pages. (just double click on the image and it will show you a larger version,  then right click and go to copy, then go to your favorite program and paste and print.  The image should fill up a full 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Two letters per page.)

Cut out each candy corn and then laminate for durability.  Punch a hole in each corner.  I punched the first one, then used it as a pattern  for all of the others.  Lay out and tie together with ribbon.  I put streamers on the two ends!  Hang up and enjoy!

Happy Haunting!
