The High Flying Adventures of Gramma Luvlee: November 2012

Welcome students to the 2012 Ground Valley High School Zombie Prom.

Feasting at the Body Parts Buffet:

Dancing in the gym:

All the little boys were told that they had to dance with A GIRL before they could go out to the Haunted Pumpkin Patch. Some of them took the easy way out!

Mom counts as a girl, right?!!

Sometimes you get rejected because they have their eye...

...on another man!

"Cause this is Thriller, ...

Thriller night!!

If I were a zombie, I'd never eat your brain!

I just want your heart, just want your heart, just want your heart!

The Haunted Pumpkin Patch:

Each year the kid's go out into the dark and creepy night and search for numbered pumpkins. They get a prize bag that corresponds to the pumpkin they find. The dad's are out there, but they can't scare the little guys. Some high pitched screams were heard from the older kid's though!

Ghost pooh labels

I put mini marshmallows in snack bags then folded these labels and stapled them to the top.

These fit on top of a Big Pack Tic Tac container

Print on green cardstock, fold the top and staple to treat bag

Then all my dear zombies went home to their beds

where visions of brains danced in their heads!

Sweet dreams little zombies

Made In A Day

As in almost everything, the anticipation of the event is almost as exciting as the actual event. So it was with Zombie Prom. I had thought about it and imagined it and when I actually saw the fruits of my imagination it brought a little tear to my eye. SNIFF!

This was my vision. My home was magically transformed into GRound Valley High School. (Our local High School is Round Valley High.) The front yard had graves with reaching zombie hands (my lovely zombie prom queen hand was made by pulling the sleeve off of a groundbreaker hand, painting it's nails and slipping on a 19 year old corsage, graciously donated by my sentimental daughter!), fog and the School sign.

As the Prom attendees arrived they were met at the door by a chaperon, Mr. Drown. Mr. Drown (appropriately attired in a dripping suit and sea weed) asked them for student ID or their Prom Tickets.

The front room and dining room were set up with food

tables and a more elegant decor. I tried to use a school theme throughout using old books, year books, glasses and globes.

The Food:

Zombie cookies

Spider Ding Dongs

Zombie Pops made from giant marshmallows with melted chocolate

hair and facial features drawn on with food color markers

Cookies & Creme Fudge Headstones and

Chocolate covered pretzel Zombie Fingers

Graveyard Gravel made from fudge, mint and cookies and creme fudge.

I want brains cupcakes

Screamin' Strawberries!

I just want your heart-raspberries and cream gelatin

Mortuary Mousse

Sinister Sweets

Bones & Blood-taquitos & salsa and bone shaped breadsticks & marinara

Severed fingers-cocktail wieners wrapped in crescent roll dough, olive fingernail

Forgotten fingers-string cheese with bell pepper fingernails

Creepy Cheesy Eyeballs-mini cheese balls with an olive slice iris

Tortured Toes- cocktail wiener with an almond slice toenail, wrapped in a tortilla bandage

Shaved Skin on Melon-prosciutto on cantaloupe

Melon Brain & Bleeding Heart Brie-Brie & cherry preserves wrapped in puff pastry

I've got my eye on you caprese salad

Jori enjoys some rotten ribs

The Gym:

The dance was held in the family room (the gym). It was a conglomeration of various things you'd find in a high school. My dear husband very happily hauled old lockers from his dad's barn to accommodate my vision.
