Autumn Wishes!

Happy November!! Where oh WHERE is the time going! It is FLYING so fast for me!! BUT I do have to admit I am so looking forward to the HOLIDAYS!!! I have some creative ideas I want to make up.. but FIRST I need to get the 17 year old Bday invites made up! (THAT does not seem possible!) Ok sorry side tracked!!! 

I wanted to play along with this weeks MIM challenge (and a few others too!) so I made up  this little box using LOTS of yummy  PTI stuff..Glitter.. Scrunchie Ribbon, Pearls, and Stitching! Some  of my FAVORITE things!!!!  (** Please note only the pumpkin is inlaid.. I add the stem, leave and flower on top of the scallop die! BUT the pumpkin is actually cut from the small scallop die , stamped, inked, glittered and put back inside .. LOVE this look.. will do it again!!)

Here is my box, and all challenges linked below all photos!

 

Now if you are still up for a little photo share.. Here come some Halloween Pics.. I have a FEELING you will be seeing LOTS of xmas coming up.. so I want to get these in! HA HA!! (THANKS if you make it through them!!!)

My girly is the only one the went out T or T this year with her friends but I HAD to have photo of my boy too! :) 

 

I ADMIT to a PUMPKIN ADDICTION! :) Here is our front porch all ready for the Night!!

 

 These 2 didnt get a solo in the above.. hee hee! So here they are!! 

  

This is my FAVORITE of the night!! HEE HEE! (the teen boy OWED me.. so I made him pose!!)

Now what is funny is he is getting some SYMPATHY on this.. and even got a bag of candy from our sweet little neighbor girl.. BUT he chose to not go out (None of his friends were..) and he had homework.. AND the icing on the  cake.. his sister has braces and cant eat over half of what she got! so he is just fine! HA HA!! :)
