Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
Hope you have a wonderful, fun and joy-filled day!


About three years ago, I started the tradition of hosting a pumpkin-carving party.  My children are twelve and eight, so they were nine and five back then.  We host it every year and our friends look forward to it and have even gone as far as saying, "It wouldn't be Halloween without it".   We also paint and/or decorate the pumpkins with funny parts.
These are some of our creations...
Our family portrayed as pumpkins.

Pinterest

I've discovered a wonderful new tool...Pinterest.  I love Pinterest!  It's a website where you can create "boards" of things you are interested in from the Internet.  You "pin" photos of things you like when you are surfing the Internet.  When you pin the photograph, the site also keeps the web address of the photo on file.  When you click on the photo, you link back to the original page. 
Pinterest is such a time-saver!!!!  You can bookmark everything you like and you can keep it organized by topic, etc.  You don't have to cut an paste to your harddrive anymore.  Everything is stored for you on your boards.
I am really enjoying this...check out my boards and feel free to like or repin my finds on your own boards!!!
If you need an invite to join Pinterest, let me know and I'll send one to you.

Happy pinning...
