I needed some more goodies for Halloween and thought these boxes would look cute made up with some candy corn to look like a pumpkin. After I put them together, Jennifer filled them up with the candy corn. Of course, we had to sample the corn to make sure they were yummy!
After sealing them shut, I cut a thin piece of Old Olive paper in a strip and twirled it around a paint brush handle to make it curl so it would look like the pumpkin stem. I then tied a Halloween sentiment and small pumpkin face with some black and white twine. I thought they turned out so cute, and they were so easy to make.
The other day Joe and I took a ride up in the mountains to check out the leaves. They are really starting to look so pretty with all the different colors. When we got home I took a picture of my yellow mums in the front yard. They turned out so nice this year.
I have purple ones, but none turned out so nice as these did. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. It rained here today, so I'm glad I took this picture before it got so miserable outside. They may not survive with the wind tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by,
Nancy, Rachel & Sarah

Very cute, and those ready-made clear boxes sure make it simple! Really love the curls you made. Your mums are so incredibly gorgeous! Everything here is mushy from the rain, but I got out yesterday and did some trimming and clean up. I like the autumn garden even without much color.
Oh, goodness these are adorable little boxes, and I know for sure I'd being testing that candy corn. I love eating that with peanuts. We always use to have a pumpkin dish filled with those. (well until we all walked past and grabbed handful) Golly your mums are just beautiful. I Love how bright they are. I hope they are holding up for ya after the wind and such.
