Fall Fun Festive Mix Recipe

Those of you who know me,
know my Saying, when it comes to Recipes,
"If it has more then 5 ingredients...
I am not gonna make it."
I play with yarn, not food!
But
I Love This recipe..
it is a great through together
 for any party.
1 bag of plain M&Ms
1 can of plain cocktail peanuts
1 bag of Brachs Fall candy corn mix
Throw them together in a bowl.
You could add other things,
like small pretzels or chex mix, but why????

And, the pumpkins are still my favorite!

ENJOY!

Ann's Pink Ribbon Chemo Beanie


Ann's Pink Ribbon Chemo Beanie
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs



This Crochet Pattern is dedicated to 
My Sweet Momma who 
lost her battle with Breast Cancer July 16, 2013.

It is very important to keep a 
Chemo patients head covered, 
even during the summer months.
When you lose your hair fast, you sunburn easily, 
and even get a cold head in air conditioning. 
Also, use soft yarns as their head is 
newly "uncovered" and can be very tender.

Some Good yarn choices For This Pattern 
Simply Soft by Caron
Soft Secret by Hobby Lobby, 
Red Heart Soft, Red Heart With Love,
  I Love This Cotton by Hobby Lobby.



If you would like to donate Hats to the
 "Crochet For Cancer"
