Halloween Treats

Treats I made for my son's class at school.

 These treats I made for our bank.  They always have a Halloween contest so I thought it would be fun to bring them a little treat!

These were for my small group girls who I lead at our local church!

Psalm 33

		Psalm 33Let the godly sing with joy to the LORD, for it is fitting to praise him. Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
		Sing new songs of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp and sing with joy.
		For the word of the LORD holds true, and everything he does is worthy of our trust.
		He loves whatever is just and good, and his unfailing love fills the earth.
		The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.
		He gave the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
		Let everyone in the world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.
		For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.
		The LORD shatters the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.
		But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.
		What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD, whose people he has chosen for his own.
		The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race.
		From his throne he observes all who live on the earth.
		He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.
		The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
		Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory-- for all its strength, it cannot save you.
		But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.
		He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine.
		We depend on the LORD alone to save us. Only he can help us, protecting us like a shield.
		In him our hearts rejoice, for we are trusting in his holy name.
		Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.

Pumpkin Day

I have been so consumed with orders and getting ready for my show recently that once I had my show this weekend we were going to have a much needed family day!  We would have sweet family moments here & there but not how I like them to be.  I have been so busy that I haven't been able to plan as much fun stuff this year.  So, Bill & I decided to take the kids to the Pumpkin Patch Saturday night after my show and then have a fun, family, pumpkin day today!  I got on-line and found some recipes to try out!

Here are some snap shots from the pumpkin patch!

 Today on Pumpkin Day we thought it would be fun to make some pumpkin soup...well it was gross!  But we made it anyways, check it out!

 Then we decided to make a Pumpkin Roll which was AWESOME!  We didn't eat it until after dinner but it was a big hit!  You can find the recipe here.

 While Lily took her nap we made some Pumpkin Play Dough.  It was a lot of fun!  I have the recipe here.  But then my sister-in-law gave me the idea to add in some pumpkin pie spice & color it orange on her blog!

 We made pumpkin smoothies.  These would be good if you well....had no teeth and couldn't eat a slice of pie!  Otherwise just stick to the real deal....kind of gross sipping pumpkin pie through a straw.  :-)

 Pumpkin Fluff was YUMMY!  I will be bringing some to our MOMs group this week because it made a pretty big batch!  Ingredients include, cool whip, instant vanilla pudding, tsp vanilla extract, 15 oz can pumpkin (pure pumpkin) and 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.  Mix & serve with graham crackers.

 Then we finally got the part Gabe was waiting for all day.  Pumpkin Carving!

 Lily wouldn't stick her hand in it...she just wanted to cut.  So, I let her go over where I already cut!

Round 2 of the play dough

Then for dessert...pumpkin roll!  

We also made toasted pumpkin seeds.  One original batch with salt only.  Then I wanted to try something new and we did one with butter, worcestershire sauce, & season salt.  They came out good too!  Hope you try some of the recipes I posted and I suggest avoiding the pumpkin soup...we had a fun, pumpkin day with just 1.5 big cans of pumpkin & some household ingredients!

Home For The Holidays Show

This past weekend I attended Home For the Holiday's at the Horseshoe Arena.  We had a great show!  My dad came with me and he sold his rustic boxes he makes along with his popular teacup bird feeders!  The ladies loved them!  Here are some pictures from our show!

If you missed the show don't worry you can always e-mail me to order anything you see here on the blog or check out my next show November 13th...details to come!
