A couple weeks ago I celebrated the last lingering rays of fall by finally baking up the pumpkin I bought at the farmer's market for Halloween. Specifically, it was a pie pumpkin, not a Jack-O-Lantern. I hoped to get a second use out of it and, woah, it worked! :) Thank you to my sister, who recommended roasting, not boiling it; another Holly, at www.spendwithpennies.com for the instructions; and Rosemary at allrecipies.com for the roasted seeds idea.

Not too long ago, my mother told me she started mincing up raw garlic and swallowing them like pills first thing in the morning with water, all to help her stay healthy and keep her cholesterol down. I can tell you I usually just trust her homeopathic ways, but I started doing it myself and I feel so good.
Transforming Gourds Into Elegant Decor
By Ana
I have a few gourds left over from my fall/Thanksgiving decor. They are in great shape and can last almost forever! Just by using silver metallic spray paint, you can create elegant decor for less, the gift that keeps giving!

In addition to the free holiday cards I ordered, I still enjoy making homemade cards for my close family and friends.

We usually prepare scrambled eggs for breakfast and I thought of not totally breaking the eggs, but just making a small hole in it and shaking it to make the contents come out. I wanted to create a decoration that's made of egg shells and here's what I did.
These cute little cookies taste just like a tiny apple pie. Learn how to make them in this short video.

I used rose/ivy bowls and glass vases and added beads, flowers, or other decorations for vessels to hold flameless candles, as Christmas gifts. Here are pictures of some of the finished ones. I used low melt hot glue.
