A cute little pumpkin box....

Good morning!!  

Here is a cute little pumpkin box that was one of my STYC projects!  It would look adorable sitting on your desk or counter with little treats in it.  It is something that could sit out through Thanksgiving!

There is no stamping with this project......

cs:  Tangerine Tango, Old Olive
ink:  Tangerine Tango- sponged around the edges of the ovals
supplies:  XL Oval punch, mini silver brads, paper piercing mat, paper piercing tool, sponge, scissor snips, Scoring Tool, glue dots


Box measurements:
5 3/4" x 2 1/4"
Score @ 1 3/4", 2 3/4", 4 1/2" 5 1/2"
Then score @ 1" to make the bottom of the box.
Cut off the 1/4" x 1" rectangle in the corner.
Fold & stick together with glue dots.

Handle:
1/2" x 6"

I sponged around the edges of all of the ovals to make them stand out more.

I had a fun day with the twins yesterday.
OH my GOSH- they turned 14 months old....where does time go?
Photo: 14 months already & totally "Batty for Mommy!!" <3
I have to tell you....
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry- as keep my cell phone on the shelf in the family room (3rd one up).
Guess that is too low now, as Brody got my phone while I ran in to go to the bathroom.
He called Nathan & Papa Deke.
Deke sure hurried home from the office, but we had him worried for nothing.
My cell phone is now on the 4th shelf up. 
LOL

 Last night Nathan & Brayden were here.
It is always great to see them.
Nathan had a bad weekend of racing with rolling his car on the last lap to the checkered flag on Saturday night.
Then  he borrowed a friends car to race on Sunday night.
AND he hit a deer & destroyed the front end of his truck on the way home.
Poor guy!
He has Parent-Teachers Conferences this week- so he text me yesterday & asked if I could cut his hair.
Sure-  a fresh short hair cut, he needed one.
Especially since he is a high school principal, he needs to look good.
(Ok- doesn't that sound like a mom.) 
And they got to eat supper with us too- which was great!

Tonight we sell hogs.....when the twins leave I'll change clothes & be a farmer out helping Deke!

My heart aches for all of my friends & family that live in the path of Hurricane Sandy.
They are all in my thoughts & prayers.

Hope you have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!
