Mrs. Ebert, the wonderful neighbor, would make hers flavored with Jello.....I used to make them the old fashioned way boiling the corn syrup and all that. I found a super easy recipe though, and they taste sooooo good.
9 cups of popcorn
1 10 oz bag of marshmallows
1/4 cup of margarine or butter
6 Tablespoons of Jello...I used orange
Put popcorn in a large bowl
In saucepan, melt marshmallows and butter over low heat while stirring. Add in jello, stir in well...
Pour over popcorn and mix in
butter hands, tie on apron (preferable a nice Halloween apron) and shape into balls....keep hands buttered and they will shape easier...wrap with colored plastic wrap and tie a bow on......
So fun and easy. I miss making them with my babies......
I also made an Enchanted banner in bright colors and finished my Owl swap....My bernina is dying a slow death so sewing was a challenge. It goes into the shop tomorrow.....I didnt use a pattern for the fabric or clay owls, just played. I think I will make some fabric ones for my own Christmas tree. I like how these came out.

More lovely owls.
I remember two great neighbours from when I was a child, one showed me how to crochet granny squares and the other used to do latch hook rugs and make wine! We used to love going in to "help". Only now, I realise how patient they must have been and how lucky we were
I love these at Halloween time too! Love these cute handmade things too! ;D
Happy Halloween Sweetie...

These are the popcorn balls we made when we were little, too!
The e-mail I tried to send you about kid stuff came back, but i wanted you to know I'm sending many prayers to all of you. I'm sorry this is so hard.
oh melinda..those owls are adorable!! love your banner, too!
Popcorn balls -- yummy! I love your new blog layout!
Thanks so much for the sweet words you have been leaving on my blog. I'm still moving slowly, but trying to start visiting people who visited me. I was totally impressed by the popcorn balls. Like you, the only way I ever made them was boiling corn syrup. And that banner is wonderful. So clever and so colorful. Those little owls are darling, too.
Adorable owls!
We always get excited to make popcorn balls. We go through all the work of making them then everyone takes a bite or two and that's it :( My guys do love rice krispie treats though. I think I might try adding some jello to those and see how that works.
Love your creativity. You are so busy and yet you come up with such inspiring things. Thankyou.
An owl swap! How cool. Your owlies are adorable. BTW love that cowgirl outfit :-)
