I love fall! I love crunchy leaves. I love walking the neighborhood with my kids on Halloween. I let my children dress up in costumes that don’t offend or frighten. I take them walking the neighborhood. We knock on neighbors doors and trick or treat. I have the best neighbors and street and neighborhood. One of our neighbors always sets up a tent and has hot dogs, chips and cookies for the neighborhood kids. Is that a trick or a treat?! I look forward to the cold cheeks and excited chatter of children. I live in the same community as most of my family. I feel nostalgic when I knock on my aunties doors and trick or treat them with my children the same way my mom trick or treated them with me when I was a child. I love running into my sister and her kids while we roam the neighborhood. I love how we always run into my cousins and their kids or my aunts and their kids and grand kids while we trick or treat! It’s our tradition and I love it. Here is a little something I made to get ya in the mood for crunchy leaves, sweet treats, cold nights and excited children.
I made another video tutorial for the rosettes. I love how our straws can be used to support the rosettes and thought I would show you how to combine two great A Muse Studio products; the Rosette Die Set and Paper Straws. Wouldn’t that rosette on the straw look pretty in a cake?!

Risa, I think you’ve out done yourself…this is totally amazing, fun and wonderful!!
Hey Marissa! I love your rosette method on the non stick mat! I make them a different way, but I think your way looks better. Your centerpiece is the bomb diggity! (I have three sons, it rubs off!)
FABULOUS!!!
I love this. It’s wonderful in person too. :). Is Giddien going to be an Angry Bird for Halloween???
These rosettes are adorable and your tutorial was fun to watch. :o)
Your story brought back memories of what it was like when my family all lived in the same neighborhood. Our kids all grew up together and even went to the same school. It was magical for the kids–especially on Halloween!
Thanks for sharing!

Love, love, love it!
This is SO cute!
You are the ‘glue gun Guru’… I would have burned myself at least a dozen times. As always,
I so love your blog and the things you do. Keep up the good work!
Great project. How long/wide is the paper? How wide is the accordion pleat?
Sorry Lynne, this got buried! The paper is 2 1/2 x 10 1/2 and scored at every 1/2 inch
