I wonder what time trick or treating starts today :(

On Friday we got to dress up for work

My friends Amy & Melissa who teach the vocational class were "spider girls"

 
I also made the cutest treats :)

PUMPKIN shaped Cakepops!

& I found the cutest jack O'Lantern tall zip lock baggies @ the Dollar store

so I wrapped them like this with green pipes :)

 
 I didn't have much time to make intricate halloween cards

but I did manage to whip these out with the help of these cute

K & Co die cuts I LOVE these die cut packages

Happy FALL Y'all

I've been LOVIN our FALL weather here in CHICAGO so much :)

FALL is my favorite time of the year for many reasons

and I have some pics to share why :)

Like this tree in front of my house

I snapped a quick pic before all the leaves fell

I just LOVE all the colors the leaves turn

 
and my cat Earl enjoying the weather outside

soon he wont be able to go out to play any more :(

 
I also wanted to carve pumpkins since I've never done it before

BUT I wanted to pick a "practice pumpkin" first

before I pick out the most perfect pumpkin @ the patch :)

{I've never gone pumpkin picking ever either}

gosh I sure do sound deprived huh?

These we're the perfect practice pumpkins for $1.99 @ Aldis

 
It was really hard (& slimey) gutting out the pumpkin ewwww...

Although I look quite happy in that pic...

I think I was happy about all the seeds lol

Are you ready to see my masterpiece?

 
 TA-DA!!!!

M made one too, we had a pumpkin carving battle lol

 

Mines better LOL :)

The next day I baked my pumpkin seeds before work 

 & It made the house smell super yummy!

quick recipe

1 1/2 tablespoons margarine, melted

1/2 teaspoon salt (I used Rock Salt)

1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
