We were planning to go to the pumpkin patch this afternoon with friends but decided not to go due to the extremely wet weather we've had the past two days. Yesterday we had massive hail & rain which was fun... although we spent a chunk of the day clearing out the storm drains on our street so that the shop wouldn't get flooded. Oy!
The kids really enjoy doing the Corn Maze at Biringer Farm in Marysville, WA, at dusk - makes it a bit more challenging. Last year they actually found all the check points and were quite proud of themselves! In past years it's been a complete *mud-fest*... the kind of mud that will snap the wellies right of your feet! I can only imagine what it is like there today.
Here's a simple card that I made using our pumpkin stamp and lowercase polka dot clear alphabet set. The pumpkin really stands out IRL. First I colored it with my Apricot Copic Marker and then added orange glitter glue on top. Sparkly fun!
Coffee Time & Birthday Builder sets are now due to arrive on Monday... they better come on Monday or else I'll be really sad! It's my birthday so I don't think that UPS will want to disappoint me... do you?
Enjoy your weekend!
Happy Birthday Linda! I hope this next year brings you much happiness and lots of laughter! Hugs!
