Fall Decorations

I love pumpkins! Especially the Cinderella pumpkins! Then came the white ones in all sizes. You can draw on them and do many artist things.

I've decided to "Glitter" my mini white pumpkin. I put a beaded bracelet around a small orange one and drew some trees on another white mini. I'm in love with all the options with arranging these mini punkins!

Put Punkin on newspaper, outside on the porch. Then spray the Punkin with spray adhesive then shake on glitter.

So fun!! Any day I have glitter under my fingernails is a good day!!

Candied Almonds

Got a recipe off the Internet for candied almonds. Added my own twists & they turned out amazing!!

1 egg white
1 T water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine in large bowl with whisk until fluffy.

Add:
1 lb almonds
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Stir until completely coated. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Cook at 250 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Let cool, break apart and dust with a sprinkle if powdered sugar for depth.

Now a typical Anne-ism is to accidentally grab the wrong thing. I'll look at one item and grab the one next to it. Very frustrating!!!!! I try to check myself before carting but some times things slip by. In this case I ended up with dry roasted almonds instead of just almonds.

They have a very interesting taste that makes me even more curious what a plain almond would be like. Even yummier I would expect.

Store in an air tight container! I'm thinking I can use these as gifts too!
