Carved a Pumpkin

I'm doing a pumpkin project with my class this week. Today we measured the height and circumference of our pumpkin. We counted the lines and estimated how many seeds were in him. Then we gutted him! We are going to count our seeds when they dry. While the kids were gone, I carved the pumpkin. I tried to make an owl, but part of his head fell off...I tried to put him back together with a paperclip and this is what I got...

And I really love his stem!

I made this...

Golden milk chocolate cake balls for Halloween! I was proud of my creative display. I poke the sticks into a small wreath form and wrapped a big bow around it. It was fun!

I'm so ready to start the crafting! This time of year always gets the creative/homemaker juices flowing. I played with the mantel today. I like the hodge-podge look, but I'm not sure I keep it from being too hodgey or podgey!

Here are some other ideas I'd like to get started on soon...

I've already practiced making the cute rosettes!

I want to be crafty. The beginning of the holiday season and fall festivities bring out the crafting geek in me. I want to make stuff!

OK...now that I've let that out. I'm making a Hobby Lobby list as week speak :)

I hope to have some fun things to share soon!
