I’m still suffering with a bad cold and it’s definitely slowing me down. Thankfully I’ve improved enough to be able to take part in this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. Today it’s all about the September 2022 Kit called Spooky Treats. While I’m not a huge fan of Halloween I know a lot of you are, so my first project is a larger box for even more Halloween treats. Then my second project is an easy Christmas idea with a simple trick to disguise those bright box colours. NOT SO SPOOKY ... VIEW POST
Playful Alphabet Lives Up To Its Name
When it comes to Halloween I'm a bit of a let-down. In the UK Halloween is building in popularity but was never a thing when I was growing up.

Today's treat package is a case in point. STONE WALL BACKDROP When I was thinking about making a Halloween treat package my options were ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Bone Appetit
It's the last Thursday in the month and that means it's time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This month we're back to bare bones with 13 members and the the Bone Appetit kit.
