Pumpkin Carving...

Hello all! We did some pumpkin carving earlier this week. The kids loved it and so did I...I never got to do this as a kids and I am lovin it as an adult! This first one is mine...tried the scrapping thing into the sides and I think the swirls look pretty neat! I love this time of year...be it called Fall, Autumn, harvest festicals or halloween...I think it fun...although not the scary parts, just the cute stuff. The smells of the season and the cool crisp air...although cool and crisp is where I would like for it to stay...I don't like cold! Anywho, I digress...this is my pretty pumpkin!


And these are two of my 3 sweet children...the other one did NOT want to cooperate in the photo taking and Bella has some sort of silly face going on...I think she looks cute though and I love her, dirty and all! Isn't their pumpkin cute too? They each took turns helping Daddy with the carving...he's much braver than I am, that's for sure!

Whatever you decided to do today...I hope you enjoyed it! Have a blessed day!

Hugs andhappy Stampin'

Such a SLIME bag!

Hey there...just thought I would share these cute little bags of slime I made for my sons school party today...I think they are super cute and the little eyes are just the best! I did add to the top of each bag "DO NOT EAT" you just never know what kids will put in their mouths! LOL


I also made a little tag to go along with the slime on how to care for it...it's just too much fun to play with and super easy to make!

Here are the instructions!

Supplies: borax, white school glue (such as elmers), food coloring and water

3 bowls.

-In one bowl mix 1 cup of what with 1 teaspoon of Borax and mix until borax is disolved.

-in another bowl mix 4ox of glue with 1/2 cup of water and food coloring.

-combine the two and move into third bowl to mix fully...there will be some watery substance as you move it to the thrid bowl.

Here is a link to pics of how to make it as well.

Stamps: Boo by little Paper Shop

Ink: Stazon black

Have a great day and enjoy your slime making!

Happy Stampin'
