DIY Must Do's...
Name It to Win It Contest & More!

This week's newsletter features some more fun and unique DIY Fall tutorials, a wonderful recipe for Yummy Pumpkin Pancakes and since the holiday season is fast approaching, two great ideas for Snow Globes!

Do you love mason jars, have lots of them and don't know what to do with them all? Take a peek at the pictures below, use your imagination and create your own style...my mind is whirling with so many things you can use to create your own! I have many on hand, some are mason jars, then ones I just save to recycle and so I think you can use whatever you have on hand to make them with little or no investment!

This week's recipe is Pumpkin Pancakes, make them ahead and freeze them for the kids! They're perfect for the crisp cold days that are just around the corner...yummy! If they are "fussy", don't tell them it's pumpkin, they will never know!

Our shops are offering once again, free shipping, buy one, get one free, special one day sales and lots of new products for this week's Thursdays Marketplace!

Oh my, I almost forgot, thanks to all of you who emailed to say you are enjoying our newsletters and the tutorials, I am having a wonderful time sharing them all!

It's amazing to see all the wonderful ways you can use pumpkins! I found this DIY tutorial at Country Living. Another idea for your table...Thanksgiving is just around the corner, what a great way to add classy festive fall decor to your home and dinner table! Click here for this tutorial.

Love this "BOO" Pumpkin. Use buttons, all sizes, hot glue and create your own! Make a monogram pumpkin or whatever you choose using buttons, in all colors! Wouldn't yellow and white buttons be cute too? This is simple, no tutorial included...use your imagination! I found this picture on the web, so there's no source for this one!

DIY Fun Mason Jar Candy Corn Candles! Again, you could use any type jar you have on hand, doesn't have to be a Mason Jar. Just fill it with Candy Corn you can get from the Dollar Store and add a pillar candle in your choice of colors. Too cute and not only can you use it for Halloween decor, but for the entire fall season. I also found this idea at the Country Living site as well!

Here's this week's recipe...Pumpkin related, of course! Treat yourself and the entire family to these pancakes. Imagine them with Real Maple Syrup, oh my goodness, I will be adding this recipe to the list of ones I will be making this year, hope you enjoy!

Holiday Decorating Ideas...yup, before you know it, the Christmas Holidays will be here! I found this Mason Jar Snow Globe DIY tutorial at the same wonderful Blog, Anyone Can Decorate as the Candy Corn Candles! I truly love this idea! Can you imagine how you would make these? Pink miniature bottle brush trees, gold ones and yes, even those lovely green ones featured here! Use burlap, ribbon and...how will you create yours...what's your style?
