{Please pass the Pumpkin}

Most of you who know me (or read this post) know that I love anything pumpkin. I love this time of year only because Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Latte’s . . . . I drink probably at least 3 per week!
Imagine my excitement when I was at the grocery store and saw Pumpkin Spice instant pudding by Jell-O! They also had free tear away recipe for a Triple-Layer Pumpkin Spice Pie (which you can get here.)

I, of course, rushed home and made it for dessert and it was so very YUMMY and everyone else really liked it too! I’ll definitely be making one for Thanksgiving.
Now that ya’ll know I love anything pumpkin, and you just get the burning desire to get me something, I would love to have any of these pumpkin goodies that I found on Etsy.

{Handmade Garland}

I have noticed lately a new trend of handmade garlands. They come in different lengths, shapes & colors. I’ve been enjoying them so much that I made my own garland/banner for my Thanksgiving decor. I’m also thinking about making my own Christmas garland.
Check out these other garlands that I found on Etsy.

{Let’s Mix it Up}

I have been a very bad blogger this last week. I’ve been a lot busy and a little tired . . . had trouble staying motivated. Don’t you ever have days like that?
Anyway, moving on . . . . . . .
I’ve been dreaming for months about doing some sort of mixed media art and tonight, I finally did it. I started working on what will be mixed media magnets. I’m really liking them . . . they’re like little pieces art.
Unfortunately, since this is a new thing for me I don’t have a process down yet so I get a little A LOT messy.

The floor doesn’t look any better. It seems that my stamp bin threw up on my floor.
StampsSee those cute little puppy feet? They were going ninety miles/hour when I shot this picture . . . . I hope it was a good dream.  :D
I managed to finish 4 magnets but I’m just going to show you one for now. I would love to know what you think. Would you buy one?

Oh, I forgot to mention that these are eco-friendly! They’re made from recycled food boxes.

Happy Crafting!!
