Blog Hop: It's the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop Day #2


Pumpkin Hop Welcome to the "It's the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop!".  This is Day 2! Thank you so much for stopping by. If you are coming from Anita C. ~ http://www.anitaandbugs.blogspot.com/, then you are in the right spot.  Please be sure to visit BOTH days for maximum ideas, maximum FUN, and maximum chances to WIN!!  Our hostess, Amy at www.lovetocrop.com has some SUPER prizes for a few hoppers, so be sure to check out all of those details on her blog!!

 In addition to the project I posted yesterday, I used the Stampin' Up! Carved and Candlelit stamp set to make a fun embellishment.   I am using this stamp set to make cute little tags for some treats my daughter and son are handing out to their friends for this great holiday.
These were so easy to throw together using my SU punches.  I did not get a chance to take a picture of everything put together but here is what was in the bags: Smores! a couple of graham crackers, a mini Hershey's bar and a ghost peep. It just makes me smile.



And since this is all about PUMPKINS, here are the pumpkins we made this year :) We painted them this year as I had a bit of an incident earlier this year with a knife (which by the way post-surgery, my finger looks awesome and I have full functionality back! Yay!).  So yeah, we put away our knives and wielded paintbrushes this year.  The one on the left is mine, the wolverine in the middle is my 5 year old son's and the girly girl one is my daughter's who is 6 going on 7.  We had a lot of fun!

   Thanks so much for stopping by. Your next stop is Shannon at http://www.purplelionpaper.com/blog.

  36. Ooooh my, the story of your "post-surgery finger" and the journey you've gone with knives sticks with me as a lesson learned, one that I've earned. I've never had to have SURGERY for my accidents, thankfully. Only one cut deep enough to require 7 stitches in the ER, but I cut that on a used car battery that I picked up while cleaning out the garage. Taught me never to clean out the garage again -- and I've STUCK with that lesson ever since. My garage is testimony!!

    Yummy Halloween treats ... TYFS (PLEASE!)
