Pumpkin Buttons!

 Holiday decor that goes from the end of September to the end of November! Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday! My husband and I met on Halloween of 1999! So, I am excited about the  holiday and doing some holiday crafting! I gathered all my orange buttons, a few green,  some burlap and paper... I used cardstock in orange and green and cut out the shape of a pumpkin and stem. I stuck them on my unsymmetrical  orange pumpkin with glue dots!  You could use hot glue too! Yep. Green stem. Decided which frame to go with... Oval won. Mounted the burlap behind glass and stuck the button pumpkin right to the glass! I love it!

Celebrating Life!

One year ago exactly... I had a ectopic pregnancy burst my right tube. I thought it was major indigestion... but no, I was internally bleeding. I suffered silently for 6 hours before going to the ER. I had bled out 1.5 liters... 4:00 a.m. emergency surgery...right tube removed. I am HAPPY to report that I am alive! To celebrate, the kids and I had an ice cream party! with HOT FUDGE! Hot Fudge sauce: 1/2 cup Butter 1 cup sugar 2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup Milk Boil in saucepan until reaches SOFT BALL... Remove from heat. add 1 tsp vanilla Stir like a maniac. Pour over ice cream. (you can pour onto a platter and let it cool  and then eat by the spoonfuls too!) Here's to celebrating life!

Another Monogramed Cork S!

Another Cork S Monogram! Remember this one? Well, my sis-in-law wanted one too! I found real wine corks at the thriftstore for $1... so she got her wish! It was actually a little harder to get them to fit tight,  but overall it looked good!   I like that red one in there too!
