Pumpkin Patch Fun

Pin It

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday and had SO much fun.  The kids and my husband did the pumpkin slingshot and the kids and I did the 2.1 mile corn maze.  Holy cow!  I had NO idea how involved it was going to be, but it was absolutely amazing.  The theme was "Alice and Wonderland" so they had themed characters and props throughout the maze.   Here are some photos:

The infamous maze...

October SOTM: Share the Magic Blog Hop

Pin It Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! If you came here from Jen Patrick's blog then you are on the right track. If you are new to the blog hop then just start here and hop from blog to blog following the links to wonderful SOTM artwork done by fellow Close to My Heart consultants. If you get lost along the way, you can see the entire participant list here.

This is such a cute stamp set!  Did you know the Cherry-O papers are perfect for Christmas cards too?  Both the Level 2 papers and the Creative Basics have Tulip (red) and Sweet Leaf (green) in them.  I used the Level 2 paper packet for the card and added Liquid Applique to Santa's beard and cuffs.  I also used the blending pen and the coordinating stamp pads to color in the images.  If you are interested in purchasing this stamp of the month, then you can order it on my website.  Let me know if you have any questions!

Now hop on over to Kimberly's Blog to continue your journey. Pin It

Do the Puyallup!

Pin It We went to the Puyallup Fair (Western Washington Fair) today and had a blast.  My son is officially tall enough to go on any ride, so he went on the BIG rollercoast twice.  Of course, I forgot my good camera, so had to snap a few with my sorry camera phone.
