Pumpkin

I bought my Halloween pumpkin, they were on sale for 99c last week, regularly $2.99 at my grocery store. It has been years since I carved one, I will just paint a face on it as usual.

Wedding Favours

Daughter L went to a friend's wedding recently and their table received these yummy chocolate wedding favours. I thought it was a nice touch. The 5 bridesmaids were allowed to choose their own dress design in the same colour of course. This is a great idea don't you think, as everyone has certain preferences in what they wear, in what suits their figure.

Paint Party Friday - The Dress

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is based on a newspaper clipping I saw, I loved the bow at the back of the dress. It is done on purple cardstock (6" x 6") in permanent marker, sharpie white marker, and outlined with a PITT pen.

Fall Colour

My Words for Wednesday piece is here in the comments.

It was a gorgeous Fall day on the weekend. I spotted some early fall colour on a walk and took these photos for you:

Cork Coasters

In my quest for the true 'non stick' glass coaster, I found these cork crafting sheets at the dollar store. I used some other circular coasters I had as a stencil. A soft leaded pencil was great for outlining perfect circles. It was easy to cut them out using scissors. One sheet made 5 coasters. They work really well!

Pumpkin season

We are officially into the fall season in North America! I took this photo of the pumpkin display at a Home Depot on the weekend.  

Snickerdoodles

Daughter L made these snickerdoodles using this recipe. They are delicious, hard to stop at one. She wasn't really in the mood, being a bit busy that week but I mentioned they might make a nice treat to take along to a function she would be attending that weekend. Thus we all enjoyed snickerdoodles!
