This month's Paper Pumpkin is a fun one. I love the happy skeletons! There is just a ton of materials in the kit with lots of options for Halloween, Day Of The Dead, or skeleton lover projects. I make 3 simple stamping projects, step them up and then share three more stepped up projects for a total of nine alternatives. Video Length 23 min 37 sec.
Wow, this kit rocks! This kit also has an add on pack of 24 small cards in two designs with 24 envelopes, I have it in the supplies list below. I created so many alternatives I had to just stop or I would never get the video published. It is just over 30 minutes long and is loaded with great ideas and tips.

This video is a special request for a tutorial on how I made the card I've linked below. The image shows the original card, and a couple of replications of it, including the exact one I made in the video. Video length 16 min 47 sec.
Yesterday something very special happened. Hub didn't even know, or see, so for him, it was just some surreal event, but I actually watched it happen.
Here's how it played out. We were at a new course in Mount Vernon, on hole 5. We'd thrown our first shots off the tee. I've been throwing hubs orange 169 Ballista in Opto plastic. Hub has a couple of different drivers and I think he threw...
This kit arrived three days after my June kit. That has never happened before! My wrist felt much better and I had a great time creating alternatives. Video Length 28 min. 27 sec.

This month I created six alternatives and shared some fun techniques that are super easy and can be used to add dimension to any project.
Even though this kit is a smaller size card, you get twelve cards and matching envelopes and I show how you can use the envelope fronts to make twelve more cards!
The size converts very easily to A2 size or 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" which is my preferred...
We planned a four month stay in Arizona to see if we would like to live there part time. We stayed in four different areas for a month or longer to get a good feel for each location. Verde Valley (Cottonwood), Congress (Wickenburg), Sierra Vista and Prescott Valley. The weather was not the best, it was quite cold and we enjoyed (not!) two snow storms. The temperatures were very cold at night,...
I finally took a chance and set my Paper Pumpkin shipping address to the closest post office instead of going to my mail forwarder. I find that the new forward service manager is not very prompt at forwarding, and often she doesn't retain the tracking information which means I have to guess when it is time to drive the 15 to 20 minutes to the post office.
