A Pumpkin Wreath

And yet another Fall Wreath....

This pumpkin wreath was made by tying tulle around a foam wreath form. I just cut strips of orange and green tulle, and tied it in knots.  I tied the strips closely together and got a fun, full wreath!

Applesauce Cake

I can't wait to share this delicious recipe with you.  My Mom passed on this recipe to me and I made it for my small group from church tonight.  The cake is very moist since it has applesauce in it and the top is crunchy from the cinnamon and sugar mixture.  It was a crowd pleaser!  To make it even better, it is very easy to make!

Planter Boxes and a Great Giveaway

Okay, so how lucky am I?  I have a great friend, Marijke, who owns a local nursery, Grower's Outlet. Years ago, my husband built four planter boxes to go under our garage windows.

Halloween Countdown

Happy October!  We promise to share great seasonal crafts and recipes with you this month!  Stay tuned...

Great Halloween decorations, part 1:

Last year I made about a dozen, "Countdown to Treats" sets for friends and family.  I got the idea from the HowDoesShe girls and their great tutorial. As you can see, I changed the "Countdown to Candy" to "Countdown to Treats". Otherwise, I used their ideas and created a great decoration that can be used every year!

My daughters love to countdown to special days and are able to count backwards with this!
