  31 Days of Halloween begins!     Welcome my lovelies to the kickoff of the 31 Days of Halloween event. Every day will host a slew of new stuff. Questions, would you rather, movie,  photos   will all be playing in. Play along each day and share you answer to the days interests! Let's jump in, shall we?

My mixture is powdered sugar with food coloring, thinned with water. Basic and all natural. Once it dries, it thickens and congeals, so aside from drawing a few more bees to my corner it will withstand the weather and still be easily cleaned after Halloween. Unfortunately, I didn't really take photos the first year....
