I have absolutely no restraint when it comes to cool, handmade ‘stuff’ that you can’t find in big box stores!

I have had visions of these bad boys (below) since yesturday when I first saw them….
I even went to sleep last night with magnets and push pins dancing in my head!

I broke down first thing this morning and purchased two different sets (along a few other ‘things’!) of the button magnets and push pins.

I have not decided quite yet what I am going to do with these though…

Our fridge has lots of magnets on it already (even though some of them are quite old they still work!) and I don’t have a cork board (hmmm…should I put this on my Christmas wish list? I can see where it would come in handy!) for the push pins.

I could save them and give them (for Christmas) to daughter #2 who has a fashion degree (and loves to sew) (and hopefully does not read my blog…or maybe she doesn’t even know I have a blog) (gasp!) (and who incidentally is looking for a job to put her fashion degree at work (hint hint)..anyone know who is hiring in the fashion industry in Seattle, Renton, Tacoma…or hell anywhere in Washington???)

Any who…
check out Moment In The Sun for the cutest button magnets and push pins along with cards, tags, notepads and pendants!

Hurry though….those buttons are going fast!

I suck at carving pumpkins….really!
You don’t even want to see the pumpkin that I carved this year (honest)…well….I didn’t really carve it…more like sculpted the dang thing.
I peeled back and removed the orange rind and thinned out the orange shell so when you light a candle it will glow a nice orange….which worked fine with the exception of the goofy face on it.

Everyone’s pumpkin turned out better than mine (**sob**).

So to save you from the same embarassment that I’m feeling at the moment here is a link to wonderful and somewhat easy pumpkin carving ideas!

Starting next year….I Will Suck No More!
