Showing Off – Reader Feature

(hey everyone, remember, each week a reader is going to pick some links to feature from Take-A-Look Tuesday – let me know if you’re interested in writing up a Reader Feature one week…..mandybeez at gmail)

Hi!  I’m Ginger!  I blog over at Ginger Snap Crafts. I’m super excited to be over here at Sugar Bee Crafts helping Mandy out with her reader’s features.  So fun!  One of my favorite things about blogging is being able to feature other bloggers.  You guys are amazing! Just a little about myself… I’m married to my college sweetheart & best friend, &I’m a mom of 5 wild crazy kiddos.  I love my family, & they keep me super busy.  I also love to craft (of course), blog, work outside in the garden, decorate, organize & have lots of fun with my family.  Today my older kiddos were at school, my 4 year old was at preschool, so that left just me & my little man at home.  We decided to go grocery shopping!  Fun! Well, not usually, but today went really well.  Yeah! As I was walking into the store I noticed PUMPKINS were out! Yippee!  It’s officially fall!  Here’s a picture of my kiddos last year at our local pumpkin patch!  So fun! You can do so many things with pumpkins…decorate with them, use them in recipes, carve them, paint them, stack them…the possibilities are endless.  Each week on my blog I have a link party called {wow me} wednesday, and when I do the link party features each week I always like to go with a theme.  I know I’m silly like that! 🙂  So this week for my Sugar Bee Crafts reader’s picks I went with the theme of pumpkins! 🙂 Pumpkin CraftsLove these Slouchy Pumpkins from The Gunny Sack.  (Save those pumpkin stems!)
