October is here

and witches are near! 

Our Halloween witch, Matilda, seems to have left her garb behind. 

These pumpkins are modeled after the pumpkins in Kimi's garden.  

The only difference is, there is no gopher munching on them!

These spice and cream cheese flavored pumpkin pops were fun to make.  I always thought of myself as a  'summer type of gal' but lately, I've been getting more excited about all the colors and aromas of fall.  I just HAD to have a pumpkin, and I wasn't about to wait for it!

I am officially in the October mood!  (More of these to come soon!)

Hmmm.... How did Matilda get anywhere without her broom and hat?!

Her potion does look mysteriously enticing though.   

Happy haunting to all our friendly ghouls and goblins, witches and wizards.

O'wl Always Love You, Baby.

Another bundle of joy is on his way.

Quinn will be arriving to loving open arms within the month.

We have been watching the growing owl trend over the past year and have been hoping that we could design a few for someone special.  We had been brainstorming and getting inspiration here and there just waiting to put our ideas to use.

When the call came in that a friend wanted little owls for her baby shower, we were beyond excited.

I knew they were going to be adorable, but it wasn't until I put their eyes on them that they melted my heart. Looking down at them, looking up at me, I knew these little guys were going to be a hit.

Thank you Colby, and congratulations on your next adventure
(I hope Quinn isn't a Night Owl!)

Family Weekend at Arizona State University

Victoria, our silent auction winner from a previous post, is heading toward the desert for the annual ASU Family Weekend.  It is advertised to be a fun-filled weekend dedicated to Sun Devil families.

Sparky the Sun Devil has been the ASU Mascot for years, but ASU announced in April that it changed the mascot to the pitchfork.

Victoria requested a dozen cookies for the weekend - the pitchfork and the A-S-U, in the University's colors.

We packaged them up for her and they will soon be on their way to sun country.

Safe travels from XOXO Cookies.  Enjoy the family time!
