Things of Pinterest

Fall colors are tons of fun, so why not gather some of the fallen leaves and do something with them?  I found a lot of great leafy ideas on pinterest:

I love this leaf animal - and there are so many other great animals to make too.  The best part is - you can gather all the supplies (leaves) on a brisk autumn walk.

 Or if you don't want to make a whole picture out of leaves, why not throw them in with some doodles?  Regular doodling is fun, but doodling with leaves - WAY MORE FUN.

 Let the kids have a good time before your leaves get too crunchy and glue them to a craft stick and throw on some googley eyes.  They won't last forever, but they'll last long enough to have some fun!

 Get some watercolor paper and some juicy colorful leaves and hammer out some natural prints.  It's cool that these prints use only the leave's natural pigments.

Make a leaf mobile by drying some leaves and sticking them between clear contact paper.  Or you can do it the Martha Stewart way and dip the leaves in wax.  Either way, your mobile is guaranteed to last awhile!

Apple Party Printables: Boxes and Banner

This is the second half of our apple party printables.  Use the mini pennant banner to string across a cake or as a table decoration.  Then pack the fry boxes and pillow boxes with yummy apple-y goodness!

If you end up with lots of extra apples from your family apple harvest, you can always freeze, dry, can, or sauce the rest.   Then you can enjoy them all through the fall and winter!

Apple Party Printables: Cupcakes

Pretty soon it will be harvest season and what better way to celebrate than with an apple themed party?

First I think you should find a local apple orchard and take your family harvesting.  It's lots of fun to pick the apples together, plus you can get a lot for a killer deal.  And it helps local farmers, which is always awesome.

Once you have all your apples, you can throw the sweetest apple party ever!  These party printables include three cupcake wrappers, twelve 2.5" circles, and a page of mini flags.

Check back later this week to get more printables, recipes, and apple happy ideas!
