Halloween pumpkins!

The house is ready for Halloween. Got decorations up inside and outside the house. And today we completed the required pumpkins. Very exciting. What was even neater was that an Auntie was here to help with the pumpkins!This year the pumpkins are faces. They will look fantastic on my stoop. Pictures coming soon of pumpkins on the stoop of the house decorated for Halloween.

Hee hee! New post! So I think most of the people I scrapbook with know that I'm not much of an actual 'paper crafts' person. I don't like to make knick knacks or albums from paper....I really just prefer to scrapbook memories. I just don't know what to do with those cute little albums and knicker knacks that I would potentially make. They'd probably just pile up in my scraproom and I would be afraid to toss them because 1.) they're so cute 2.) they're made with my cute patterned paper and embellishments 3.) I put lots of effort into them. So I stick to the good old traditional scrapbooking thingy. Anyhow, having said that, I've been reading the My Mind's Eye blog lately and noticing that they do paper challenges over there. They did a 'spooooooky' challenge over there this month and I gave in and gave it a try.

I made a wall hanging that I'm going to hang on my wall for Halloween!! And it's made from paper! I guess you could consider it a knicker knack. But I'll just pack this one up after Halloween is over and then pull it out again next year to once again hang on my wall. BUT. I didn't just make one....I made TWO!! See, the one I submitted to contest won't be shown until Oct.28. Much too long to wait. So I've got this other one that I'm going to post here!

This is a big thing for me. I don't normally make knicker knackers people!!!!!

You'll have to wait until Oct.28 to see the other one. Cackle cackle cackle!!1

Snow. That's really all I've got to say. Snow. It's still snowing out there right now, but apparently we're to get up to +15 or something like that on Saturday. Here is my theory. Late September we got B-lasted with a heat wave. I do believe we made it up to +30 degrees. Abnormal for September, or any September that I've experienced anywhere. So now we're facing the extreme opposite. Some -10 degrees and such (with winds) (the such being snow snow snow...but that snow isn't really accumulating, just a small skiff on the ground). So after this week, we should be able to settle into some regular October weather. I'm hoping for the +5 mark. Nothing extravagant. I would like some nice weather for Halloween. Then come November 1, I'll be expecting the cooler winterness again. So now that I've given my theory on the weather, let's end off with a happy note!!! Scrub scrub people!! Scrub scrub!

Oh yes. And a quick addendum. Go the the 'My Mind's Eye' Blog (just google it) and check under their challenge #3 album. Somewhere in there you'll see Missy Magoo strutting her stuff in a fabulous layout using only my mind's eye product. And now I think I should get free product for mentioning this in my blog.

Woooo! New post! So for the past two weekends I've been trying to get published in Canadian Scrapbooker. I've been denied now for both weekends. So guess I'll just have to live with being published on my own blog. So here is some cuteness people!!!
The two green layouts are a double layout. Not really great pictures of the layouts, but just done on the fly for your viewing pleasure.
