We got Snow in October!

I took  a few days off from Stamping and working.  WOW a snow day can really help out in the productivity department!

Last time it snowed in October here in PA was 1972.  It was also the year of hurricane Agnes.  This year we had a hurricane and we have snow in October!!!

Here are a few shots from the weekend break!

My Daughter had her Halloween Parade: 

Princess M&M's

They played some Ring toss at the party I volunteered at:

Under the umbrella to get the "shot" of the crazy weather.

 Snow just makes her Happy!!

the Dogs love it too!

Dogs were a little confused.....we have not closed the pool yet

We wrapped up the afternoon with the pumpkin.  Designed by my daughter

Have a great rest of the day

More Yummy Cookies!

And another great packaging idea!!

 Cherry cobbler 7 x 8.5 

with the 7” side at the top of the scoring tool, score at 1.25 in from each side

turn, at with the 8.5 side at the top of the scoring tool, score at 4.25 and 5.5

punch the scallop border if desired.  

Fold to form the box with the larger tabs on the outside. Hand trim the corner off of the edges on both boxes.  Decorate!

These 2 cookies are in the SU large cello bag.
