What I Ate: Maple Pumpkin Butter

Back when my sister went to Massachusetts for a wedding she brought me back a jar of Mother's Maple Pumpkin Butter that I've been saving...

 

I've been sick with a cold this week and still working hard unpacking after our move so when I came across this super creamy Kerrygold butter at the grocery store I knew what I would do.

 

 

I toasted some Melba thin rye bread, buttered it up, and spread on a layer of jarred Mmm...

So worth the wait!

Thanks for the pick me up and taste of the season sweet sister!

Have you ever tried pumpkin butter? It's like a Fallidays party in your mouth!

Sun(DIY) Happy Birthday!

Today I'd like to wish my dear sister Stacy the Happiest of Birthdays! She's the bomb and being such she deserves more than just a store bought card. So I made one, with lots of love! (I hid private info with some tape)

I used cute washi tape to attach two pieces of pretty paper from Impress together and a white gel milk pen to write. Added a feature square (I made the fancy corners with a Martha Stewart Punch), then hole punched two holes through it with a screw punch, threaded some twine, and tied on a sparkly candle!

For the inside, I added another feature square made of pink polka dot paper and wrote well wishes around it with the same pen. (You can see a smidgen of twine on the top part and if you look closely at the "houndstooth" check you'll notice it contains tiny little repeating hearts because... I love my sis!)

On the back I made my own little "Hallmark" style trademark.

And tucked it all into a little blue envelope I labeled with Birthday greetings.

So....

Happy Birthday Stacy!!! I hope you like it! I love you so much and wish I could be there! Hope you have a most fabulous day! Mwah!

Kisses,

K
