Twilight Book Club

Last night I hosted our ward's book club... on Stephenie Meyer's book 'Twilight'. Let's just say, it's a popular book. We had 22 ladies in my living room. Can you say COZY??

Here we all are minus Teresa who had to sneak out early.

(Thanks, though, Teresa, for the pics!)
We had great discussions on this book; however, it was difficult with that many girls to keep side conversations at a minimum. Cracked me up! Everyone loves these books and had so much to say.

Refreshments.

So... as many of you know, the vampires in these books don't eat real food. So to provide refreshments based on the book was a bit difficult and I had to get a bit creative. Here's what I came up with:

Candied apples representing the forbidden fruit AND the apple on the cover of the book. Yes, I hand made the concoction to hand dip the apples in. I only burned myself three times. :(

(Anyone figure out how to eat a candied apple?? Morgan's having a heck of a time figuring it out...)

Vampire bitten cupcakes.

See the fang marks?? Inside they were filled with "blood" (cherry pie filling) so when you bit into them, they bled!
Red punch with a frozen ice cube hand in it representing Bella's bitten hand.
Test tubes filled with "blood". (tomato juice)
Pitcher of "blood".

For those of you who attended book club, you'll appreciate this video.

My dear Morgan was taking our picture and FOOLED us by setting the camera to 'video mode'. Listen to her giggle. She thinks she's so funny!!
