Well friends, it’s been a monumental week around these parts. Feels like I have been running in a hamster wheel for months with nothing to show for it, and then, without warning, all the things started coming together last week and all the stars aligned in my favor, including one incredible stroke of luck that I can’t tell you about just yet. (But trust me – it’s good). And now that I have officially become the bratty kid on the playground taunting I HAVE A SURPRISE I HAVE A SURPRISE, let me annoy everyone further by telling you that I just came back from an epic thrift store extravaganza, including a craigslist trip to Milwaukee to get a new coffee table that I just now discovered DOUBLES AS A POMPOM MAKER. Yes, a coffee table that makes pompoms. Photos to follow. Until then, somebody sell me a lottery ticket because my luck could not be better!

Luck? I doubt it! Hard work and talent and putting yourself out there! Dying to hear what it is. Mwah!
I’m not comfortable using food for decoration if you can’t use it as food after it’s served it’s decorative purpose. The food bank could use those pumpkins and you could paint something else. Or, you could cook and freeze the pumpkin flesh for great fiber food.
