October round-up and new word for November

Here is what I have been up in October:

Pumpkin Parade: Silver leaf pumpkin - decorating outside for Halloween
Lions and Tigers and Bears ... and a polar bear butt
The black widow - Muha ha ha - chicken wire and tulle for Halloween
DIY wedding gift wrap for a DIY wedding
Highlights from a September wedding
Sea shell tea light and a glorious sunset over the bay
Heather wreath - and how to make your own wreath form
Put the trick back in Trick or Treat - ghoulish eyes party favor
Halloween costume - Ness from Earthbound - thrifted and spray painted

Of course one of the main happenings was this huge Pumpkin Parade Link party that I threw with all these fabulous bloggers.

I made a silver leaf pumpkin for that.



I do these challenges with Amber and this month she made pumpkins for our Pumpkin Parade.

Yvonne from Sunny Side Up-Stairs joined in again this month. So much fun and she made it a double whammy by making a pumpkin for the link party AND word of the month. She was featured after the link party. See all the features here.



Thanks Yvonne!!

As always, you can do a project for our word of the month and be featured in my round up at the end of next month. You have to include this picture and let me know about it.
