Craft. Landscape Pumpkins.

I totally stole this idea from someone at Walmart.  A woman was talking to her friend in the Halloween isle while I just happened to be buying some goodies for the Pumpkin Carving party (which you’ll see more of in a later post).  She mentioned how she purchased several of those Halloween trick-or-treat buckets for $1 each and cut out the bottom and placed it over her landscape lights.  Brilliant!!  After throwing a few of these buckets in my basket, I promptly went home and did just that! 









You get a little peak of this in the other picture but I thought I'd give you a closer look.  This was a wedding present from my dad's wife - she made it.  It was beautifully potted with Ferns for 'hair' and had TONS of moss all over her.  This was the perfect fit for our Garden-themed wedding and I still love it 10 years later.  She now sits proudly on our front porch for all to enjoy.

Years ago, I saw this sign in a magazine and said to my husband "I can make that!" and so I did.  Plywood, pencil, paint, saw, and wire were all I needed.

I love Halloween.

Tips. Compare DSLR to Point-and-Shoot pics

Yesterday I told you how this point-and-shoot gal took the leap to get a DSLR.  I also showed some websites that have helped me in my journey to figure out what the heck I'm doing with this camera!  HA!  Below are four pictures of my fabulous Witchy - two with my point-and-shoot and two with my DSLR.  You tell me what you think.

So every year we have a Pumpkin Carving party - this year will be our 13th year!  So that would mean I was how old when we started?!  Ok...nevermind that...  So every year we try to come up with cute take-home treats for our fellow carvers.  I was surfing the other day and found this fabulous idea!!  So here it is - this years take-home treat!!  Too cute right?
