Eye of Newt Apple Cider and Halloween Straws

I'm sorry it's been way to long since I've posted... but trust me I've been thinking about Halloween!

The air is chilly.
Tonight I bought the first pumpkin of the year.
And at the grocery store tonight I bought apple cider.
Yippee it's Fall!

Also while at the grocery store on a whim I bought some black and orange straws from the Halloween isle.

When I came home I used some paper punches and made these fun straws for the apple cider.


Use non-toxic glue to stick the paper punches to the straws. Wouldn't these be fun for a party!


Then I thought the cider needed a little something too- an "eye of newt" eyeball to float in the glass.


I made it by cutting a circle out of an apple and peeling all the skin off except a little bit right in the middle- I left that to make a red pupil. It bobs in the glass nicely and doesn't throw off the taste of the cider at all since it's just a piece of apple!

Cute! I think of you every time I head down the Halloween aisle at Michael's, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, etc. etc. etc. !!!

LOL- thanks, thats very sweet!!! I think my local Michael's probably has me pegged as "someone to watch" since I travel down the Halloween isle on a regular basis just basking in the thrill of it all! : )
