"Treat Me" edibles made by Carrie Lee Ingram Triner Was so excited when I saw this posted on FB this week by Carrie Lee Ingram Triner who made them for her first graders and fellow teachers.  Each treat is a festively edible delight and I couldn't resist sharing Carrie's talent with you!  The characters are from my " Let's Talk Halloween " and " Halloween Kids " clipart collections and Carrie did an absolutely remarkable job using them to create these sweet treats for some very lucky kids.  Each character cookie is individually bagged with an adorable header...truly a labor of love!   Happy Halloween to Everyone...
