Fall Festivities- Part 1

{Poncho: Design History Santa Fe Poncho }

For some reason, this year, I have gotten more knee-deep in fall activities than ever before. I have gone to a pumpkin patch, baked fall foods, worn fall clothes, and have even thrown stylish fall boots in between my normal sandal to Uggs extreme footwear. Having said that, I decided to have some of my most loyal blog followers over for a Halloween cookie decorating-drinks-giveaways-social gathering. It was a great night that allowed everyone to learn some unique fall recipes and creative ideas for how-to type projects! Take a look...

The home made Apple Sider Sangria was a huge hit, and I will definitely be bringing it to the next party I attend.

{The first step is to dice apples and put them in the bottom of a bowl. I continuously added more apples to the mix while adding more and more ingredients. The apples tend to be the icing on the cake}

{Second, I added an entire bottle of Sangria from Whole foods}

{Next came the apple sider mix. After that I diced up 3 more apples and added them to the mix and they floated up to the top}

{I then transferred the mix to a pitcher to place with the rest of the drinks}

{Place a gummy worm in the bottom of the drink glasses to make the cups unique for Halloween}
