What do you think of my jack-o-lanterns??? Let me give you some very important advice. Don't ever say to your children -- at 2pm -- on the actual DAY of Halloween -- "Hey, do you want Mommy to make shapes in your pumpkins???" That's exactly what I did. Why? Who the heck knows? I certainly don't know what possessed me, but luckily, I talked my daughter into choosing an easy pattern (the bat) and my oldest chose the goblin, which was a little harder, but not too bad. But there I was -- from about 2:45pm until close to 5pm (off and on) -- carving pumpkins. My little guy has the cutest little skinny pumpkin which I wanted to carve a face in, but I never got around to it.
Now our house is downloaded with way more candy than any child should eat in one lifetime. We have entered the new candy cycle -- you moms know what I mean. It starts with Halloween, then you just get rid of all the Halloween candy and people start giving your kids treats for Christmas. You use up the Christmas treats and -- Wow! -- It's time for Valentine candy! You finally get rid of that and you guessed it -- it's Easter!!! Candy, candy and more candy.
Moving on to my new tag -- from the lovely Paula -- I've never seen this one before.
1. If you could have £100 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose? Hmmm....I am somewhat addicted to pretty scrapbook paper, so if I had nothing I would choose paper. But seeing as I already have quite a ridiculous stash of paper -- I will say embellishments!
2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or rubons, which would you choose? Rub-ons, only because my stamping skills are not very good at this point.
3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year...which would you do? Layouts
4. Would you rather own a scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home?(can't have both!) Scrap room at home -- owning a scrapbook store might mean too many headaches!
5. And last but not least, what is your CURRENT cardmaking or scrapping style? I would have to say simple. I like clean lines and also like to journal (usually), so my pages are pretty simple.
I will not tag anyone in particular, but if any of you other scrappers would like to play along -- feel free!!!
One final note -- if any of you have some extra creative mojo -- will you please, PLEASE send it my way?? Mine has been gone for quite some time and I miss it! I have no idea what's up with that.
Hope you all had a fun Halloween and I wish you a fantastic day!

Your pumpkins look awesome....bad idea to start at 2 pm on 10/31...you are a crazy mother though...we have to squeeze it all in somewhere.
So glad to not have to do the scrapbook tag! ;)
Very cute pumpkins, love that you took a pick of them, when they were lit up, love the effect it gives them. I'm sure you were tired after all that work, though.
Be ready I will be sending you some mojo very soon.
Oh and I love the U2 video, one of my fav's.
Awww...You dig a great job on those pumpkins!!! They're awesome!
Hope some mojo lands on your doorstep soon!
