Having Some Pumpkin Fun

Are you ready for some pumpkin fun?  If you can't tell by all my previous fall posts, I love pumpkins and have been working on one pumpkin project after another.  The only thing that could make all this pumpkin fun better is to have a mantle.  I long to be able to decorate a fall mantle but since that isn't an option right now I will stick with my side table and make the most of it.  Can you believe I made most of those decorations?  I know, I'm still in shock myself.

Best Veggie Lasagna

I know what you're thinking, who makes a veggie lasagna?  That's just wrong.  I probably would have thought the same thing until we got married.  When we were on our cruise for our honeymoon they served a veggie lasagna at one of the dinners and it was A-MAZ-ING.  I loved it so much that I wanted to find a recipe that I could make.  I also wanted to find one that was fairly healthy and not 3/4 cream cheese (even though I love cream cheese:).  I have been making this recipe for years and not only is it one of the hubby's favorite it is a hit when I serve to guests and no one misses the meat.  

Pintastic Monday Link Party #10

Welcome to another fabulous Pintastic Monday where bloggers come together to pin one another's Projects.  This week I have an exciting announcement!  Pintastic Monday is being co-hosted with fellow designer friend Dawnelle at Just Dawnelle. What does this mean?  It means that when you link up at either of our parties your post will show up on BOTH of our blogs and more opportunity for exposure.  We will each be selecting our favorites and featuring them separately.  If you haven't check out her blog I highly recommend it.  She's got a great sense of fashion and design and some really great ideas.

On to the party.

 

Here is what I was up to last week.  Completing my never-ending cursed pumpkins and an easy, healthy dinner recipe that can be ready in 20 minutes or less.

20 Minute Meals - Light and Healthy Pasta

If your life is anything like mine, 20 minute meals ares sometimes a necessity.  Between the two jobs I now have in addition to maintaining my blog, owning my own business, volunteering with our youth group, etc., I find that I still need to feed my family no matter how crunched on time I am.   Weird, I know.  I don't want the  health of my family to take a nose dive even if I can't seem to pack another thing into my schedule.  Thus I'm always on the hunt for easy 20 minute meals that are also healthy.

The Curse of the Fall Pumpkins

You may recognize these fall pumpkins from last year.  Yes it has taken me that long to complete them but its not a for a lack of trying.  When I started this project I was thinking this would be an easy, classy project.  How hard can painting fall pumpkins be?  It should be fairly easy unless you purchase a cursed pumpkin.  Dun, Dun, DUN! 

Pintastic Monday Link Party #9

Welcome to our ninth edition of Pintastic Monday where bloggers come together and pin one another's projects.  Last week's Fall Edition Party was a huge success.  If you are in need of some inspiration or great recipe that is the place to go:) If you are a Facebook Fan you will know that I have started to truncate my posts.  I hope you will click on the link to see the whole posts and continue submitting your awesome projects.  In addition I HIGHLY recommend adding a watermark to your photos so that as people pin your projects you will still get the credit:)

Halloween Wreath and Banner

I started working on this Halloween Wreath over a month ago.  After completing my 4th of July straw wreath I knew I wanted to make one more but for Halloween and I think this Halloween wreath is even better than the original.  It's so graphic with  just the right amount of color.  I promise though this is my last straw wreath... that I know of.  It has so many different looks to it.
