Giveaway and Tablescape Thursday and Foodie Friday

I can't believe I have done 100 posts!  I have learned a lot, been frustrated plenty and wish I knew more, but at any rate I have made three fun things for my first giveaway. (1)A cute paper banner that spells out Happy Birthday with a cute diecut crown separating the two words.

(2)An adorable apron for all the cute cooks out there.  It is colorful and stylish with all its ruffles and different fabrics.

(3)And a cute and colorful banner that spells out Celebrate.  It has a cute little diecut at the end that says "It's a Party" perfect for any occasion or for your craft room or kitchen if you like.

Now, for my tablescape for this week.  This was at a friends house who does a themed luncheon every month for birthday women who have a birthday that month.

She went all out.  It was spooky and festive with silver chargers and alternating black and green plates.  She saw the plates in California and her husband said she could only buy 3 of them.  To appease him she bought the 3 and then asked her daughter to buy her the rest of the amount she wanted!  The goblets are all green plastic.  I think from Target  The centerpiece was really all over the table with spiderweb fabric and skeletons, and spiders and black candelabra and large witch hat taking center stage.  At each place was individual coffins that she had made for each guest. The directions for the coffins are from Martha a couple of years ago. She served a lovely Chinese Chicken Salad, fresh pears and grapes, hot homemade crescent rolls (recipe below) and warm apple cake with Caramel Sauce.  It was a fun and festive dinner with no work on my part.  Thank goodness for wonderful friends!
Crescent Rolls
2 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 c. powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortenig or butter
6 1/2 to 7 cups flour
Put all in bread mixer and mix for 5-8 minutes.  Let rise for 1 hour.  Divide dough in half.  Roll each section out in a circle and cut with a pizza cutter like a pie into 12 pieces.  Roll up from large to small end.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Brush with butter after baking.  Makes 2 dozen rolls.
