trying to be crafty...

I have been making cards for a few weeks. I've always secretly wanted to work at a stationary/invitation store. That's not really very practical right now so I have settled with making them myself. I don't totally love any of them, but I am starting to get the hang of it.

One of the boys I babysit turned 5 today. Every year for his birthday they have a pumpkin carving contest. So after I went to hobby lobby this morning I stopped by the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins are expensive. I think this was the first time I ever bought any. I ended up getting 3 more for out house too. I got my idea from Pottery Barn Kids. I know I'm not a good painter and I never like how it turns out but for some reason I keep attempting to paint anyway. He is my attempt to day. Easy and not as messy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
