Family Pumpkin Decorating Party

 

 

This year we had less family members at our little party.  My step son was unable to make it due to a musical practice and my son and his wife just had a baby boy (he is such a cutie). My daughter and her family came over and we had a blast. Best thing is, making memories with the grandkiddies.  Enjoy a few pictures from our family pumpkin decorating party.

Fall Banner

This has been the summer of surgeries. My sister had surgery the first half of summer, and then I had surgery the second half .  So other then a few batches of cupcakes, I have not had the energy to make any crafts.  BUT........it's now my favorite time of the year and what better way to welcome it, but with a fun fall banner.  I am posting the printable letters that I downloaded from one of my favorite blog sites.  Stop by there and check out her blog.  It's a fun site.  Plus you can download the letters for this banner.   darlingdoodlesdesign.com

                                                                             

 

One of the finished banners displayed on Debbie's gate 

 

Supplies, F. A. L. L. letters, felt and fabric cut outs of leaves and pumpkins, twine, strips of fall colored fabric, fall color card stock paper (scrapbook paper) and of course glue sticks and a hot glue gun.



My sister Debbie, arranging what she wants her banner to look like.
She used a whole puncher to punch holes in the paper. She then glued the leaves to the card stock, next she carefully strung the twine though the paper.  Finally, she tied strips of cloth between if banner.
 

 

The girls cutting out their card stock. They used crimping scissors to give them a cool look. They are going to glue their letters to the card stock. 

I used fall paper that I purchased on sale at the end of the season.

The banner laid out on the ground.

 

 

 

 

Displayed on my fireplace mantel. 

 

I made a second banner alternating the felt leaves and pumpkins and tying the strips of cloth between them. 

I love how it turned out.

 

Happy Fall  :-)
