October's Recipe: Rice Krispie Pumpkins

Simple. Tasty. Cute. 

(Just add food coloring to the melted marshmellow mixture to make them orange. And put a little oil on your hands when making the pumpkins, helps to keep them from sticking too much.)

Apple Picking

Is it really Fall, in Upstate NY, if you don't go Apple and Pumpkin Picking???

An Autumn Craft

I actually put everything but the strings to hang them on the tree, on these snowmen ages ago ... but the pumpkins I made today. Oh, and the single Jack'o'lanterns are reversible! :)

Both are super easy to make ... small pre-cut pieces of wood (log/tree branches) can be purchased - in a variety of sizes - at craft stores. I glued the snowmen together before decorated, and painted the pumpkins before gluing them.

*I used hot glue.

Other bits used: puff paint, buttons and string on the snowmen -- and of course the little chalkboard signs (which I put on upside down so that a small picture can go there. And for the pumpkins, I used a bit of twin and string, and I cut a few pieces of one of my grape vine wreaths to add in as stem bits. 

Blue Apron

Giving Blue Apron a try! I got an invite to try a free box 'cause my Dad is a Blue Apron member ... so, why not give it a go! :)
