A Pumpkin Present

So, some of this blog I wanted to be about life, family, the goings on. But I also wanted to use it to share ideas that I've either come up with or found that have been fun for us. 
While I'm not super proficient at any of these, I LOVE crafting, baking (and really cooking of any kind), teaching, creativity and gifting. So I'd like to be able to share our adventures and endeavors into these. Some will without a doubt be blunders, but I still intend to share those too :) Who doesn't love a good laugh???
Here's something Madeline and I had fun with recently. Since Halloween is coming up we have been talking about, singing, playing with, eating EVERYTHING PUMPKIN....or as Madeline says "pumpkees".
We LOVE pumpkin season and all that it entails, and I'm so happy to report that little one is following in my pumpkin/fall loving footsteps. 
We decided that we'd like to make a gift for the g-parents incorporating our pumpkin theme.  Madeline painted some paper plates orange to look like pumpkins. They were the easiest and quickest circles we had :)

We did several for some of our favorite people!

After cutting out each inner circle "pumpkin" we added a green handprint for the leaf, a pumpkin patch photo, and some magnets on the back so g-parents can hang them on their fridge.

The finished product!!!

We also whipped up these super easy treats to hand out with the sweet pumpkins. You just melt a rolo on top of a pretzel, then add a candy corn on top. Voila! So yummy and I don't think it can get more simple!

The gifts were a huge hit (and how couldn't they be with that cutie on each one???). We had so much fun making them, and are already looking forward to our next crafty gift!
