we made meringue skulls and painted them with food colour and edible glitter...these are lottie's
these are ellie's
our shrine and papel picado flags
the celebration tree has sugar skulls and calaveras
we have photos of our deceased relatives...kay, h, nanny net, flo, stella, george, mary, james
we put items relating to the deceased...a hippo for kay (she loved them; even had a pair on top of her wedding cake), a dog lead for h (he loved dogs), knitting needles for nanny net (she made ellie some baby cardis), cooking tools for flo (she was a cook for the glasgow fire service), embroidery floss for stella (she used to embroider these beautiful tablecloths), hairdresser scissors for george (he was a barber amongst many other things), and i do not know what mary or james liked/did
you leave a wash bowl, comb, flannel, soap and a mirror for the spirits to have a spruce-up whilst they are visiting...some bread and salt to season it for them to snack on...flowers to represent the shortness of life...and mother mary and jesus to watch over them
we ate fajitas and skull meringues with cream for dinner and i told the girls about these people so they know their ancestry
