Hello October! So great to see you!
My October baby girl(soon to be EIGHT)is so excited to see October 1st on her calendar.
I am too!
I hope you are all enjoying beautiful FALL DAYS!
I've been working on new pumpkins from wood scraps.
You may remember the (2 X 6) wood scraps from previous projects.


Here's another project to add to the  wood collection.
This SIMPLE PUMPKIN project is easy and FUN to CREATE!
A Fall outdoor project that will bring some
 FESTIVE HALLOWEEN/FALL DECOR! 
I simply made my pumpkins with wood scraps (2 X 6) measuring 11 inches length.   

Supplies:
Pumpkin Orange Krylon spray paint
Sand paper for the edges

Natural Fall Harvest elements from nature are great!
Twigs, bird nests, leaves, berries all bring a nice touch!
I also included:
Jute twine, fall ribbon, grapevine wreaths, fall picks, and burlap
for flowers and leaves.
Let the FUN begin!

First:  Start with the stem of the pumpkin,
I simply used my glue gun to attach the decorative items.
Second:  Add rolled burlap flowers and leaves.
Third:  Add Fall picks and ribbon.

There are so many creative ways to embellish your pumpkin!
Have Fun and Enjoy!


Wishing you all a Beautiful October!

You may find similar signs at Tai Pan Trading. 
The fun part is coming up with Creative Book Titles.
You can even personalize with Family Names.

You can dress them up with tulle, ribbons and trims!

Next: 
Halloween Picture Frames from fabric scraps
 from the Spookyville Fabric Panel
(Spookyville Halloween Bags-previous post)

I added black fabric trim with orange rick rack to the border.

Cover your Picture Frame illustration board with wrapping paper or Fabric.
I purchased a medium size roll of black and white wrapping paper from
The Quilted Bear in Midvale, Utah.
(You may be seeing more ideas with this wrapping paper! :)
It is thick paper and works well!
The fun part is deciding where to display your Halloween Art!
Enjoy!

I found this "B" Glass Frame at Kirkland Home.
I knew it would become useful for SEASONAL DECOR!

I used the same black and white wrapping paper with Moda Polka Dot Fabric Scraps.
The Dotties from Moda--Love the ORANGE color!
You can easily change the the look with Christmas Red and White Polka Dot paper.

Enjoy a Halloween in Polka Dots!

You can also makeHalloween pillows from the same Spookyville Fabric panel!
I made my pillows reversible, so I can use them for other uses as well.

Sweet Dreams!

My sister, Annette( anniemoorecreations) created and quilted this adorableTable Runner
from the same Spookyville Fabric Panel.
We were talking on the phone about Halloween projects in progress. 
We discovered we were both working on the same
Spookyville Fabric!
(We purchased the Spookyville Fabric Panels on a fun shopping trip this past summer).

Welcome Friends!
Add a little "Sweetheart" to your day!
The Valentines Table scape is from the following post.
Wood Letters are from a darling Etsy shop called Well Good
 and a crafty blog called Craft Goodies.
You will find wonderful wood kits to embellish and decorate.
Craft Goodies is a new sponsor! We Welcome you!
Adorable Spring Kits are available to order.

I am hosting a Valentines Exchange at Craft Goodies.
Be sure to visit!


I was lucky to receive three sets of wood letters to decorate how I choose.
I still have "FAMILY" and "CELEBRATE" to finish!
 My wood letters arrived promptly and packaged nicely and
ready to DECORATE!
I decided to make "sweetheart" for my little daughter's room.

I added fabric flowers, fabric stems along with pink rick rack,
and white bead trim with ribbon.

(You can see more of the true colors in the picture that is taken outdoors).


As I was going through pictures today, I came across this "sweet" picture.
It is one of my favorites. This was a "sweet" day! The weather was
beautiful, two of my children were talking to each other for the longest time,
as they were feeding the ducks.
(Picture taken in Park City, Utah)

We enjoyed watching the Mother duck with her babies.
What A Beautiful World.
Life is Sweet!
