Halloween...and some Blood Sucking Brownies...and Stitchers Angel all set to go!!!

Oh WOW!!! How excited am I...I have won a Blog Banner...a very special Halloween one...
from Annabelle !!!
Annabelle had a little competition on her Blog to win this Banner...answer a few questions...as simple as that!!!
If you get a chance hop on over to visit Annabelle...a wonderful Digital Artist...with a bit of poetry added...exploring the world of Edgar Allan Poe and the likes...and Vampires!!!
A wonderful Blog to visit!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR ANNABELLE...I love my new Banner...and so look forward to next Halloween!!!
For now I think I'll keep it up for a little while to admire it!!!
Meanwhile...on Halloween...seems so long ago now...I put our 2 Owls together with a slice of Blood Sucking Brownie!!!

Couldn't let the evening go by without Harry's appearance...Thank you Vicki!!!

'Snapped' coming down the stairs with not 1 but 2 Wands LOL and our very special Harry Potter Sorting Hat...all the way from California...from Vicki
Vicki has a very special bit'oearth on the Coast over there...and wow, you should check out her pumpkins...and have a guess as to the weight of one...it sure is a whopper!!!

JoJo's hat for the evening!!!

We had 2 lots of trick-or-treaters...the first was a pair of little boys with a shopping bag full of treats...and here is the 2nd lot...2 young Mums with their little brood digging in to the treats!!!

With the trick-or-treaters!!!

Chocolate Bars and lollies!!!

'Blood Sucking Brownie'...
very delicious and this recipe will be used all year round here...Summer and Winter!!!
Served with raspberries and strawberry topping...topped with ice cream...would do just as well with cream...or both...any Season!!!
Recipe from Better Homes and Gardens...latest issue and made by Fast Ed...
With me back at classes the weeks are flying by but I have finally managed to parcel my goodies off to my Stitchers Angel partner...these should arrive any day now!!!
Stitchers Angel is run by Helen annually...whereby Stitchers put their name in to get a Secret Partner...followed by free Stitchery patterns...pick 3 and away you go!!!
You stitch for somebody...and you get 3 projects back from a Secret Angel!!!
A great idea Helen...and Thank You for enabling Stitchers the world over to come together!!!

If you celebrated Halloween/All Hallowe's Eve/Samhain this year...I hope you had a 'spooky' great time with lots of treats!!!
Have a great week everyone...Dzintra
