I hosted an Open House/Recipe Tasting over the weekend. Every time I do such an event, I get repeated requests for this recipe or that one and it's really hard to keep up with who wants what and to be sure that I follow through. So, at checkout, I gave each guest this booklet with all of the recipes from the day in it, as well as my "business card" info on the front.

Those are great recipes! Thanks for sharing!
 
I may be missing the point here but what are the frozen hands for? Otherwise great ideas.

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be to use as ice in the punch bowl. Since it seems there is a lot of Halloween themed recipes, maybe you put the frozen hand in the punch bowl to keep the punch cold.

Yep - that's what I did. At the open house, I had a table for Halloween with lime punch and used the frozen hand in there. I also did a Fall/Thanksgiving type table with orange punch and a Christmas table with cherry punch (but no hands there, ha)
 
This is great! Thanks for sharing :)
