Decided to do Halloween-week here in The Land of Laura. #1, because it's my favorite holiday. 2, it's also my birthday-week, and I can make five Halloween posts in a row if I want to, so
there.
:P 3. Because I had my annual Halloween-Birthday* party this past weekend, and I have *lots* of pictures.
Enjoy!

| Yup. That's one of the cutting boards I made last week. |
Thing the first: the dining room table! Complete with cheeses and meat cleavers (MWAHAHAAA!!!), "bleeding" candles, dead flowers, black doilies on old tarnished silver, red-and-black table linens (and curtains, in the background), and...
THE MOST AWESOME CUPCAKES IN THE WORLD, instead of a single birthday cake, made by
my best friend, who is a *fantabulous* baker. These are
Tiramisu cupcakes with cream-cheese icing, a wonderully squishy center full of a mixture of Kahlua and espresso, and topped with cinnamon and chocolate-covered espresso beans. Pardon me while I have a cake-gasm. Mmmm. Plus? Cute little "Poison" and "Toxic" cupcake paper cups. :)
(Know what else is cool? The cuppies 100%
vegan. Even the cream cheese icing, which I think is better than the "real" thing!)
More tomorrow!
* which shall hereafter be known as "Birth-O-Ween", after one of my guests wished me a happy one of those as he left Saturday night, and it totally cracked me UP.
