Halloween Porch and Pumpkin Carving!

Well, the porch has been decorated for a little over a week now, but we just got around to carving pumpkins tonight. The mums in the planter on the chair are pretty sad, but they are coming back and I hate to toss them!

The BOO hanging is something I made last year that I found on Thrifty Decor Chick. They are chipboard letters covered in scrapbook paper and hung together with grosgrain ribbon. They hung inside last year, so I didn't modge-podge them, but I probably should have!

I thought the one pumpkin wasn't enough, so I added a few more and a makeshift crate to help with stacking the pumpkins. Now, it's a little busy, but once we carved them, it looks great!



I found this straw broom and it already had orange accents and was perfect! I added the ribbon flower with the epoxy brad (you can see more of these in my etsy shop) and a ribbon tassel with sparkly black cat. I wrapped orange, black and purple ribbon around the handle to make it extra fun.




The "Trick or Treat" banner was a fun addition! Black burlap pennants with orange stenciled letters and sisal twine.




Now, onto the pumpkin carving fun! I know that this is sooo two years ago, but I still love the way it looks, and its super easy! I tend to use power tools any chance I get, so why not on pumpkins?




 I'm loving the owl craze right now!


Nolan wanted a mean face pumpkin. Now this is really a jack-o-lantern!



Happy Halloween!

Blog Hoppin with Welcome Wednesday

Have you ever done a blog hop? No? Sound like a weird 1950's dance? Is Grease Lightning running through your head? Hope not...


Ok, if you've never done a "blog hop" before, the idea is simple. It is a way to discover other people's blogs that you may be interested in and "follow" them to keep up with what they are writing about. In a nutshell, it's networking.

So, here's how it works:

Click on one of the links below and if you like what you see, follow them! Most of the blog authors will in turn follow your blog (if you have one).

Also, make sure you "link up" your blog so that others can find you! Easy!


Have fun and happy networking!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!


We actually hit up the pumpkin patch last weekend, but as things go around here, I'm just getting around to posting about it!

We had a great time, got to ride the haywagon, and the kids got to pick out a few little pumpkins to take home to paint. The weather was beautiful, and all in all a great day with friends!


We used the pumpkin wagon for the kids!




The lovely pumpkin patch at Best Nursery...



And my 5 year-old's very artistic creation when we returned home!
