Good Wednesday Morning!!! Hope your all having a GREAT week!!! :) Can you BELIEVE in only 2 weeks and 1 day it will be Thanksgiving Day AND in 6 weeks.. Christmas Day?  I personally CAN NOT!! Time is flying!! and mix in there my son will turn 17.. I need life to SLOW down a bit! LOL!!

I have a share for you today!! I really LOVED the Shabby Tea Rooms Challenge this week.... so I wanted to play along.. I usually always give my Mama some pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving when she comes down.. AND I like to purty it up! WELL this year.. I did it a bit more then usual! BUT it is for my Mama.. so here it is .. (MOM do not look any farther! HA HA!)

 

NOW this bread isnt the one my Mama will get.. she usually gets THIS one (YUM!) but I carefully unwrapped the wrapping so I Can use it for her bread! and my family HAPPILY ate this Pumpkin Bread with mini choc. chips!!  

I actually stitched on the wax paper, and I gotta say I LOVE that idea.. I had seen on pinterest how to make your own bags like that.. so I decided to try it for the wrap.. I can see BAGS in my future! HA HA!!
