Okay, I know sometimes when I get into something I tend to go overboard, but its just too much fun! Do you like to try new things just to see what you can do? Well, I get like that and I just want to see what I can come up with that will be different... I made three new pumpkins for three of my neighbors and the pictures show you three more colors from duct tape brand.

While checking out some blogs the other day, I came across a site at http://www.thevspotblog.com  and found an awesome idea for decorating a pumpkin with duct tape. Now being an Alabama fan I couldn't resist trying to make it. Here is her link for making it:  Houndstooth Pumpkin Tutorial I just used fabric paint to put on the logo. Cool, huh?!?!

While looking on Pinterest one day I found an interesting link for sensory bags for preschool classes. There were several fun ideas such as an ocean theme, alphabet theme, and they filled the bags with hair gel, water, and even shaving cream. We decided to try shaving cream in our bag and we used fun shapes to make stamp imprints and then the kids even had fun using their hand print in the shaving cream. This activity was really fun for those kids to had issues with getting their hands dirty.

My next-door neighbor had a birthday so I wanted to make something special. She is a cheerleader that I made a special birthday card for... The colors for her cheerleading squad were black, red, and white.

I put shaving cream onto a baking sheet and dropped two colors of food coloring, then gently swirled it with my fingers. I then placed the cards down into the shaving cream, picked them up gently and raked the shaving cream off. As you can see, it leaves a tie-dye effect onto the card and then I created some quilling to embellish them. I hope you like the variated swirls!

I am the biggest junk food junkie sometimes and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have been a long time weakness of mine. Well, it just so happens that with being a bzzagent, I get the opportunity to try things ( for free most of the time,too ). Well, the latest campaign is for a newer healthier candy called Unreal. They have no corn syrup, no preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, no artificial flavors, and no GMO's. I decided to do a taste test between the real deal and Unreal's peanut butter cups. I wanted to know if they had the same sweet chocolate and creamy texture. Well, after trying them both and comparing the two, I prefer Reese's, but the Unreal is good in its own way. It is a little more of a stronger chocolate flavor and not quite as creamy, but it's not bad for being a healthier choice. Take the time to compare the difference for yourself. I have the pictures to compare... Can you tell which is the real Reese's?
