    The pumpkin carving contest is a great idea for our family. I think I will challenge my oldest son to a duel!

    These are great ideas for celebrating Halloween at home. I especially like the idea of dressing up and making some spooky Halloween treats. Still a lot of fun for the kids.

    Dance parties are my favorite at any time. While we don't celebrate Halloween, the activities you mention are great for any time at home. I will be noting some of them down to do with the kids.

    Great list. We plan on playing the games at home and dress up. There is a big chance we also do an online holiday spirit d&d like game.

    I can't wait to grab a pumpkin and do some pumpkin carving. Last year, we held a fundraiser at my house on Halloween night where the community was encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items for the local food bank while out trick or treating. To help decorate, we ended up carving 30 pumpkins that were placed all over my yard. It was great!

    Great ideas! Baking an autumn-themed treat and then eating it while watching one of those movies sounds heavenly. Paint along videos are a great idea, too - I didn't realise they existed but it makes a lot of sense.

    I love halloween for the movies! Every year my husband and I make it a point to watch Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, and Charlie Brown. My husband is also a small child at heart, so every time he goes to the grocery store, he brings home candy for himself. I think we end up with bags of candy for a month or two after. I've been contemplating pumpkin carving this year as well.

    I love the Pooh's Heffalump idea! So unique. We lately have been staying home and watching Harry Potter. :) The pumpkin carving idea is a great one, too. Visiting from Crazy Little Lovebirds linkup.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is hit and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our featur...

This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Hi everyone! How was your week? This week, we were blessed with more rain, and I am so thankful. It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...
