Easy Halloween Pumpkins

Here are my Halloween pumpkins!
I wanted to decorate my door this year so I made a Jack-o-Lantern that won't rot!

Some cardboard boxes were cut up into pumpkin shapes and decorated with construction paper. Easy, right?

Then I just glued some paper scraps on the back so I could run some string through them and hang it!

Pumpkins, oh my!

 Oh my! is right! It's been awhile since the last post. I've been so very busy. In fact, I just returned from a trip to the west coast.

We had a lot of fun with pumpkins this past month, though, and here are some examples. Maybe you will get some inspiration for next year.
Here are the results of our pumpkin carvings. For my first ever pumpkin carving I cut out Tinkerbell and the other pumpkin is apparently up for interpretation. lol. Some folks think it's ET and others say Wallace and Grommit (neither of which are correct but who's to say?) What do you think it is?
Not sure if these count as pumpkins but since it was warm enough to cookout this year at Halloween, we dressed up our burgers. They were getting jealous of all our costumes!
And I had fun making delicious pumpkin cinnamon rolls from scratch.
What's your favorite pumpkin yum yum?

Cranberry White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Oh boy! Sound like too many good things all in one place? Only one way to find out! This recipe is what I'm thankful for this year ;)

Here's the recipe:
2 cp flour
1 1/4tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1tsp cinnamon
1/4tsp nutmeg
1/4tsp ground ginger
1/8tsp ground cloves
2 eggs
1 1/4cp brown sugar (I cut mine with a no calorie sugar substitute by 1/2)
1/2cp oil
1tsp vanilla extract
1cp pumpkin
1cp dried cranberries
1cp white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F

 Whisk dry ingredients (flour-cloves) and set aside.
Combine eggs and sugar until well blended. Add oil, vanilla, and pumpkin.
Stir in dry mixture a little at a time.
Add cranberries and chocolate.
Drop cookies onto cookie sheet and bake 8 min.

They are like cloud cookies so light and fluffy. Bet you can't eat just one!

There's Steven Mitchell & Virginie Jensen teaching at the fabulous swing and blues dance workshops that kept me from my blog all weekend!
