Greetings All,

Just wanted to remind all you hostesses to get photo's of your food for your parties. We sure could use a lot more pictures of our food spreads. After Halloween we could make an album of food pictures, it sure would help other members to be able to see what some of these spreads look like!

Advice: Since its the most craziest time just before your guests arrive & you are putting your food out, either have your camera ready to go or have a friend that will take the photo's for you.

this is an excellent idea and if we could take pictures of not just the whole spread, but maybe individual items that are esecially good then we could have a thread with a breakdown of different food categories, drinks, appetizers, main course, desserts, soups and those could event get broken down that would help out a lot of people who are new or just wanting a specific idea.

 

[Darkfaith]

great idea, everyone is always on the lookout for new recipes or new ways of displaying the food. we took heaps of photos of our food last year before it disappeared, would love to see how everyone else chooses to display their different recipes

I almost always forget to take pics of the food. In 2007 and 2008, I kept a camera in the kitchen with me, and took pics while I was preparing it. That way I also had pics of how I made things, for my future recipe page. Half the time, we always end up getting pictures of the leftovers.... Not as visually stimulating LOL

Ahhhh, Kitty Litter Cookies - my favorite!

 

[Frankie's Girl]

It was a heavenly raspberry trifle with heavy cream under the "Kitty Litter" that a good friend made... We got to keep a large portion of it since there seemed to be so much left over. It was delicious!

 

[Noelle]

I have always forgotten to take pictures until last year.. and even then I only caught the beginnings of it (the food is my favorite part of the party!)

I have photo's of almost all the food I made but we had a very small area for food to be set out. The rest of the house was so full of decorations there was no where to put the food so we just set it on the kitchen counters. The pictures are in my web site in all the food sections.

Wow Frankie girl that looked awsome! Very cool seeing that display of food motivates me to try something out of all those magazines i buy.

[kprimm]

This is a very good idea, seems like the food is always overlookedas far as getting pictures and it is so important. I will have to get some pics of mine this year.

 

[VeeCat]

This is a great idea. Even for the older members to get new inspiration I reckon.
I love seeing how everyone displays their food in such a lovely manner.
