HAPPY HALLOWEEN!











I haven't had much time to blog or create lately, but here's some pics from trick or treating with my BOO-tiful princess.

Pumpkin Carving Party


We love Halloween, dressing up in costumes, eating sweet treats and carving pumpkins! Last year we wanted to have a Halloween party that would not be scary for our then 18 month old daughter so we came up with a carving party. It was so much fun, we've decided to make a annual family event! We carve traditional jack-o-lantern faces, fancy thinned out designs, and add other fun accessories like googly eyes, paint and stickers.
Here's the invitations I made for this years celebration! They are a double slider card, just pull the pumpkins stem and out pops the invite info and a cute poem.
The poem reads:
We bought a fat orange pumpkin,
the plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out,
and only left the shell.
We carved a funny face,
of silly shape and size,
a pointy nose, a jagged mouth,
and two enormouse eyes.
We set it on the porch,
and put a candle in,
then lit it up for all to see
our jack -o-lantern grin.
