The Enchanting Rose's 11th Teacup Exchange

 I can hardly believe that I have been participating 11 times in Stephanie's exchange, from The Enchanting Rose.   I was the lucky recipient from Doniene, who has two blogs,  Doniene's 365 Days-2017 and Now It's Just Quilts!  I was excited like a little kid on Christmas morning when my package arrived on my doorstep!

 I received these darling note pads.  I'm forever needing these.  Aren't you? 

 I love cookbooks and read them like novels, from cover to cover.  I have found so many teatime treats that I'd like to make from this Afternoon Tea Book.

 Doniene made me this beautiful apron and quilted a matching potholder.  Isn't that so special?

 I received not one, but two teacups!  I have always wanted a Fire King peach luster teacup, on the right!  I'll bet that Doniene sent the demitasse cup of the left for one of my granddaughter's to use, don't you?

 Doniene made the sweet bird that's peeking into the box of tea that she sent...so many flavors for me to choose from!

Thank you, Doniene, for all your thoughtful, and most appreciated gifts!  You certainly spoiled me and made me feel special.  I donned my Favorite Tea Shirt, that my dear daughter gave me, to enjoy a cup of tea!  I gifted Laura, from Decor to Adore as my teacup partner, and you can see what I sent to her here.   I've had the pleasure of meeting sweet Laura, and she is just a delight!  Thank you to dear, sweet  Stephanie, our hostess,  who puts so much time, effort and love in these exchanges.  Please visit The Enchanting Rose on November 8th to see all the participants.  

Laura sent me this beautiful handmade, pop up card as a thank you.  Wasn't that thoughtful of her?  We all love to feel appreciated, don't we?

Frankenstein Pudding Cups

 It's finally cold here in Texas, and my tea is inside for today.  Mr. Bear even had to put on a BOO sweater to be our host. 

 I made this hand appliqued piece years ago, but it originally had been framed in a large hoop.  Does anyone remember those?  I changed it into a pillow to use on my sofa.

 This ghost I machine appliqued,  and it is 30+ years old.  

 Here's Cissy with her Frankenstein pudding cups that she's ready to take home to her siblings.  Didn't she do a great job?  The doggy dressed in a ghost costume plays the "Ghostbusters" song, and we were dancing around my kitchen to the tune!

Frankenstein Pudding Cups

I bought clear cups from the Dollar Tree to use for the pudding. Don't they make a fun Halloween treat? Use a black permanent marker for the face, and have a glue gun handy for the ears.

INGREDIENTS:

• Homemade or boxed vanilla pudding, tinted green
• Thawed frozen whipped topping, or homemade whipped cream
• Chocolate Sandwich cookies
• Rolos

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make your vanilla pudding and tint it green. Fold in several scoops of thawed frozen whipped topping, or homemade whipped cream. Set aside.
2. Crush some chocolate sandwich cookies in the food processor, or by hand in a food storage bag, with a rolling pin.
3. Fill the cups with the pudding mixture. Add about an inch of the crushed cookies for Frankenstein's hair.
4. Add the facial features and a scar. Glue on the Rolo candies for the ears. There you have it...a cute and edible Halloween treat!

Creepy Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

 My fun witch is our hostess for today!  Cissy and I made cupcakes with gummy fingers that Cissy stuck in the frosting.  Won't you join us?

 I made this towel years ago and I thought it would make the perfect table covering.  

 Here's Cissy with two of the three plates of cupcakes that she was able to take home to her siblings.  It was her idea to make red velvet cupcakes, and you can find that recipe here Don't you just know that she's loved when she comes home? The gummy fingers came from Target. 

Yield: Enough to frost 24 cupcakesAuthor: Kitty

Cream Cheese Frosting

This frosting is so yummy and Cissy wanted a cream cheese frosting for our red velvet cupcakes.  Cissy used some red frosting to add for "blood".  You can see my son's cupcake in the background with a hand coming out.

• 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
• 4-5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put the butter and cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a mixer. Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat well. Add the vanilla and mix.
