My Paper Pumpkin & Travels

This past week I was able to go on a business trip with my hubby to New Orleans.  I knew that I would have to entertain myself quite a bit while he was off to his conference.  I spent my days doing some wandering and shopping.  One place I found to spend time in was at the Confederate Memorial Hall Museum.  A very interesting place filled with a dark side of our American history.  I wasn't able to take photos inside though.

With the knowledge that I would need to spend time by myself, I made sure to include in my luggage some things to do while at the hotel.

One of the things I packed was the latest delivery of My Paper Pumpkin.  I've found it to be a great way to stamp away from home since the only things not included are adhesive, scissors and a clear block to mount the stamp(s).


I didn't change anything in the layout, I just made the projects as the instructions suggested.  I left the little tags blank on most of the cards so that I can personalize them later.  The stamps included 'Dad', 'Bro', and 'Son' stamps to personalize on the tag.

If you haven't checked out My Paper Pumpkin lately, try it out!  The quality and quantity has improved greatly since it debuted.

Gathering Moments Table Favor

  Are you looking for special table favors for your Thanksgiving or Freinds-giving dinner-table spread? Consider these fairly quick boxes. They can be filled with chocolates, mints, etc. I love fall, so these boxes just make me happy! You can watch the tutorial video to see how quick and easy (the stitching takes a little time) they are to put together.  I'm aware that there were some focusing issues in the video. It's been figured out now! 😅 A couple more ideas that I shared in the video! Here is the template I referenced in the video: Thanks again for stopping by and watching!
