Trick Or Treat Chalkboard

It's time for a new chalkboard for the month of October ! I used the colored chalk again and just doodled until I got it the way I wanted it to look..

This chalkboard that hangs between the kitchen and family room is such a great way to decorate for the seasons.. I got the frame at a yard sale and had a board cut to fit at Home Depot , and painted the board with chalkboard paint. It has been hanging up for a year now ,and I love changing the designs !

I still need to put out the Halloween decorations .. hopefully today !

Yesterday this cute guy and I went apple picking .. He loved eating th apples ..not so much picking :) We got two big bags of Golden Delicious .. Can't wait to make some good things with them !

Apple Pizza And a Corner Hutch

We went apple picking this weekend .. It was honeycrisp apple day , they are so good that we waited in line for an hour to pick them !

We got to the orchard at 8 am and this was the line .. they opened at 9 ..

There are tons of apples on these little tiny trees !

The youngest grandson enjoyed the apples ! I had to make one of our family favorite desserts ( and its easy ) when I got home.. I use a package of frozen puff pastry.. thaw it out ..then roll it out a little bit with a rolling pin.( I don't grease the pan )
I peel and cut up the apples( about 5 cups for 2 pieces of puff pastry ), add about 1/2 cup sugar ( my apples were pretty sweet so I didn't use much sugar ) , 2 Tbsp. of flour ,1-2 tsp.of cinnamon ,1/2 tsp. salt .lay the apples on the pastry and fold the edges up about 1/2 inch. Then add about a Tbsp. of butter to the top just crumble it in pieces. Bake at 400 degrees , start checking it at about 20 minutes ..these took about 35 minutes . Cool it a little, sprinkle with powdered sugar, then use your pizza cutter to cut into squares. sometimes we use whip cream on top or ice cream or just plain !

Remember last year when I bought the corner cabinet on craigs list ? I was going to paint it and use it in my kitchen , but then I decided to use my old hutch . My middle son and his girlfriend are going to use it in their apartment , so we painted it.

Aqua on the inside and white on the outside. We made the homemade chalk paint again ..what a transformation ! I paid $80.00 for the cabinet and we used paint we already had .We painted over all the hardware ..love how it turned out !

They have a white dining table so this will match perfectly !
