Favorite Things and a Contest!

October is my favorite because:

The sun sets a bit earlier.

My favorite color combinations come out to play.
I love to wear warm things! 

The leaves are falling, and crunching under my feet.

I get to start decorating!

Friendly thrift store pumpkins hang out on my porch.

I start my collection of red and orange leaves.

p.s anyone in North Carolina want to do me a little favor?!

(All of these hats are now listed in the shop!)

One of my other favorite things, is of course... 

Pumpkins!!

 (Mowgli on his 1st birthday!)

 I love everything pumpkin.

The color, the smell, the taste, 

AND

The carving.

This is my pumpkin from 3 years ago! 

It was also the last time I was able to carve one!!

Don't worry, I'll be carving one this year,

and hopefully so will

You!

Because,

this year,

for the blog, 

I'm having a...

This was Brad's idea!
So, here is how it works, and it's super easy..

Just get me a picture of your pumpkin!

Most people take pictures of their finished pumpkins anyways,

so all you have to do is:

email it to me, 

leave me a link in a comment, 

tweet it to me,

post it on my facebook wall, 

 anything you want as long as it gets to me.

 It doesn't have to be carved.
It could be painted, decorated, or anything you want.
Be creative!

Each Sunday, 

I will post pictures of the finished pumpkins for everyone to see. 

I will also leave a link to your blog.

The contest is open now, and will end on the 30th. 

I will announce the winner on Halloween!

Also, one entry per person.
But, I don't mind if you want to enter your kid's or husband's pumpkins into the contest. Just be sure to tell me which on is which!

The winner will receive a box full of goodies 

from Bradley and myself! 

Inside The Box

A knitted beanie. (Winner chooses the color)

Candy and other treats.

A 10$ gift card to Michaels

A colored picture from a coloring book, colored by me and Brad.

Leaves from my backyard. 

AND lots of other little surprises. 

I haven't figured out how to judge the contest yet.

It might just be up to me and Brad, 

Or I might have it open to vote.

What to do think?

I hope you all enter! 

I'll make sure the prize is gooooooood.
