So since it is getting closer to the holiday season (ducking)... do you have any craft projects or handmade gifts on the horizon?? Do you create any gifts or home decor or... ???

The other day, I was looking for something on my crafty-diy-project board on Pinterest and was re-excited about all of the things I have on there and want to make (one of these days). Do you have a project list or things-to-make board?

Here are a couple of things I want to play around with...

I don't have a project list of actual things I will get done... more like things I'd love to try when I have the time or money! LOL!

I've tried paintings, and actually like them, but the colors do not work for where I want them... so, they sit. If anyone needs some paintings, let me know.

I've made Mason Jar Cookies for people and have given those out. Back in the day of paper scrapping, I've given card sets and Thank You's as gifts.

I have a pinterest board. I make ornaments each year to send out in the mail to family/friends. Last year, also made a hand print banner for thanksgiving, so that will go up again this year for decorations. All of my hand made ornaments will not go on the tree, because my toddlers will not leave them alone yet. They'll probably make some of their own, too. We've done the "felt tree" activity for them two years in a row, but it's clearly not the same as the "real one", and holds interest for 5 or so minutes. Lol

Looks like we will be hosting thanksgiving and Christmas at our house again this year. This means I'll be filling about 25 mini stockings, so that's my project for the year. Lol. I think I'll be doing magnets this year.... we'll see.

I always make some of my gifts. Last year it was fudge and toffees in mason jars. This year I keep looking at all the mdf shapes/blanks around and wondering what I could do with them....

I always have great big ideas and intentions. My pinterest boards are filled with awesome stuff I'm sure I can whip out in no time. I buy everything I need and then somehow time slips away and I'm on Amazon last minute paying for rush shipping.

We went to a farm last week for a pioneer harvest festival. They fire-roasted pumpkin seeds on an old wood fire stove. They were salted with olive oil, curry flavored, & "Haloweeny" which were boiled first in apple cider. One of the ladies mentioned we could take home any corn we pick out in the field. That was all I needed. I grabbed my boys and ran for the corn. We had to go all the way to the end of the field, but we came out full of armloads of corn. I've been picking off the kernels for popcorn all weekend. So, my current projects are different flavors of pumpkin seeds and homemade handpicked popcorn. That's about as pioneer woman as this San Francisco girl gets.
