A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 3}

Hello friends! Still trying to get caught up on my fall blogging before December gets here :)! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Pumpkin Day!

We hope you have a great day! We’re looking forward to going to the fall festival at our church tonight to play games, eat candy and have lots of fun with our friends! P.S. Look how much the kids have changed since last fall: http://lovelylovelythings.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/weekend-photos/

Thanksgiving Craft Ideas

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :)! We had such a lovely weekend – there is much to be thankful for. Here are some fun Thanksgiving crafts we tried this year, plus a few from last year too :)!

Printable Thanksgiving Paper Craft Toys

Aren’t these guys SO CUTE??? If I had realized they would take me two hours to make I might have skipped them, but once I got going I was hooked! And Gabe loved playing with them too, so it was all worth it :). Here’s a link to the site where you can download these and other free printable paper crafts (look across the top of the page): Thanksgiving Paper Craft. TIP: I used glue dots instead of liquid glue!

Vintage Thanksgiving Postcard Banner

This was a super cute and fun idea I have seen on lots of crafty blogs – a banner of vintage images. You can find plenty of these images by doing a Google search for vintage post cards (for practically any occasion too)! Just make sure it is OK with the site owner before you print them out and use them :). I just backed mine with scrapbook paper and tied them together with string (ribbon would look pretty too if you have some on hand).

Pumpkin Turkey!


Gabe made this one in Mrs. Claudia’s class :). She used a fork to poke holes in the top and sides for the kids to stick feathers into. Then they just needed to add a felt waddle and googly eyes of course!

Happy Thanksgiving Banner

This is the banner Gabe and I made for Thanksgiving last year. It was a great way for me to make use of some left-over scrapbook supplies while creating a sweet reminder of my little boy – small hands make the most adorable turkeys :).

Fall Wreath with Nuts and Bittersweet Branches

Here’s the wreath we put together last year when we got together with my sister and niece for a craft day :)!

Tate Farms 2010

Here are a few of my favorite photos from our recent trip to Tate Farms. We go every year and always have a great time! You can also click on the image below to be taken to a slide show with the larger sized images :).

If you haven’t visited my blog in a while, you might be thinking that I spent hours and hours carefully arranging my photos into a pumpkin shape – NOT SO :). I am loving this cool “Shape Collage” software – I can upload any shape and it will make a shaped collage with my images!

Note to my Scrapbooking Friends:

If you are needing a pumpkin shape or some other fall-themed digital scrapbooking things you should check out my Scrapbook Ideas site – I just added a freebie kit called Fall Fun :).
