This was made by flickr user PlanetCoco from various cardboard tubes. Each doll fits into the one before it. As if I didn't already save too much stuff, now I'm gonna have to save tubes for these cool dolls! I just love the modern interpretation of traditional matryoshka dolls!

No Carve Pumpkins
It's pretty well known around our friends that both my husband and I hate carving pumpkins. We just don't like the mess and the guts and how long it takes to carve the bloomin' things. I know, we are Halloween bah-humbugs. I have nothing against the squashes in general and like having them around, so I went on a search for no-carve pumpkin ideas. These were my faves, but there lots more.

She Amazes Me ....(Us too!)
I hope that my daughters are as artistically inclined as Kristy's daughter Lily is! Lily has an etsy shop called Novelty 12 and hopefully these sweeties (or sister creations!) will be listed soon!

for my (sometimes) sweet kids
i love the pretty (er, scary) packaging Jane's apron put together for some treats to her children. Puts me in the mood to make something for my own kids!
Argyle Pumpkins
I love pumpkins and the look of carved, but hate the pumpkin guts and cleaning them! These painted pumpkins by flickr user georgie, my love are awesome!
I might actually carve fake pumpkins, though...
