My Little Pumpkin


Today was the Harvest Party at my daughter's preschool. We supplied 24 sugar cookies for the class. If you have been following my blog any length of time you know I love to make cookie bouquets, so just supplying nondecorated sugar cookies is a fierce showing of restraint. LOL The reason? It was the classmates that decorated their own cookie. So what am I to do? Over-decorate the cookie container of course!

I measured the cookies after baking them to account for any spreading while baked and then created a 3-1/4 inch square box template. I added just enough extra space for the naked cookie to have breathing room. Yes, I believe all sugar cookies need to be clothed with bright cheery frosting. I sponged only two of the boxes to give to the teachers and left the rest for little frosting glazed hands to add the orange color.

I've had the adorable Chicken Girl Designs, Happy Halloween set for a few weeks and I am just now getting to a Halloween project. The images in this set are just darling enough that they wouldn't frighten a preschooler so I inked up the jack o lantern with a cat and mouse peeking out. So cute!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
