I so wish I knew how to post pix. I have so many from our trip to Hershey, PA. But thanks for this thread.

Posting pics isn't that hard.. it's just time consuming (until you get the hang of it then it goes pretty fast).

Go to photobucket, make yourself an account. Click "upload" then after a picture (or pictureS) is on the photobucket you just click on the IMG link and copy it (it copies automatically when you click on it) and paste it into your link. DONE! Very simple.

The time consuming part comes when you upload several pics at a time. It's easy enough though. ... when you click "UPLOAD" just hit the CTRL key on your keyboard and highlight the pics in the file you want to upload and click enter and VIOLA.

THEN...if you want to size them to a more manageable size you click "edit" then "Resize" and make it whatever you want then re-save it. That takes some time to do to EACH PICTURE but it's nice because then the pics aren't huge BUT you dont' have to!

I hope you are inspired. Would love to see your pics. I don't think I'll ever visit Hershey now that they've left PA. I'm boycotting them. BUT I would still like to see what I missed!

Kathleen,

This is the cutest picture!! Your girls look so beautiful. It looks like it should be a holiday card.

Thank you! You're so sweet. I absolutely LOVE living in Oregon sometimes.. and Christmas tree hunting time is one of them. lol We live in the Portland area but this place is only about 20 min away. We get the most beautiful pics up there. : 8' tree or even bigger.. doesn't matter, the price is still $10 for a xmas tree.

Here are some of our pictures from Halloween 2007 I don't have any from this year since we were on a cruise.

DH as Slooth and I was the Queen of hearts

Some of our pumpkins

My little ferret Tinkerbell

These were our pumpkins from 2006

Wow! What a great set of pumpkins! Were those from one year?

Great outfits, too! We have a pic of us in front of the "real" Goonies house

Yup one year. We carved 6 last year and then 4 the year before. We are both huge Halloween fans!

I LOVE the Sloth costume. Goonies was one of my favorite movies growing up.

If I woulda come by your house I would have been oohing and ahhing over your homage to the "bad guy" pumpkins!

I forgot to say how much I loved your ferret witch! SO DARN CUTE! I used to have a ferret long ago. He was SO reeeeeediculously cute! So fun! I just love them but they are HARD WORK!

Hi! I just stopped by to deliver some.............

Kabochas!!!





​

travelmel- I love your daughter's Halloween costumes! I had to laugh at that "after the costume came off" caption.

TamTab- Those pumpkin pictures are awesome!




I'm not sure if this really belongs here or not, but I just wanted to share my pumpkin chocolate chip cookie picture. It's my first pumpkin dish of the season. (The canned pumpkin finally went on sale this past weekend. I don't know what took them so long!)

Hi!

Thanks for the Kabochas!

Yes, all is welcome here. No worries. Your seasonal recipes is like a sister-thread to this one!

Hello again..

Here are some pictures from Halloween this year. I hope you enjoy!

To set the mood

We just painted our downstairs area. The stage we put up last year.

Party Room

Upstairs decor

Party food consisted of: Guts and Eyeballs, Snake Charm Bread, and Graveyard Greens.

Bon Apetit

Close up

DD's

Family shot

DH during the costume contest jude-off

There were 3 prizes (ribbons from the Dollar Store) in each catergorie: Cutest, Most Unique, and Scariest (then also best adults). Adults voted for kids and kids for adults. The kids really got a kick out of doing some official judging.

Beauty and the Beast (and family)

I love his homeade Beast outfit! So cool!

Leatherface and his Mommy

Disney Princess Pic

Well, ok, not EXACTLY but I thought it was close due to the hair.. Blonde, red, brunette.

Group Shot!

To be Cont.........​

 

[travelmel]

I love tree lined paths.....Disney was well represented, of course

Cassidy's Cat Pumpkin

Bailey's Burl Ives-inspired Devil

DH tried something different this year

Oogie Boogie for me!

I Found the pic online and DH printed out a scaled model then traced it and put it on the pumpkin.

Indoor Jack-O-Lighting (one fell down in the revelry)

I found these awesome lanterns at the Dollar Store. They looked SO pretty BUT the batteries lasted for about 25 minutes. 2-AAA's in each lantern!

I love festive lighting!

After Trick-Or-Treating we came back to bob for apples and watched Ickabod Crane's and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow!

Just scary enough

The End!​

Yup! I'm putting out a call now:

LOOKING FOR THANKSGIVING CRAFTS!​

Something fairly easy and preferably something you have done before.

Let me know what you've got!

 

[Disneygrl36]

Loved all the Halloween photos.........
Can't believe Christmas will be here before we know it.
Here's my Thanksgiving contribution......you've seen this before Melissa on my pre-trippie.......

This was taken before we had a lot of wind last week & now there are very few of the pretty leaves left.

 

[travelmel]

I absolutely love that picture. It really captures the essence of the season. BAM! oh brother.. get it, the essence? Dumb. OK... lol

We decorated a little bit for the "Fall" now that Halloween is over. It's funny to me that I put up Halloween first then autumn but the Autumn decorations come out, in stores, before Halloween decorations do and are therefore on sale RIGHT when I'm putting them up!

I'm easily amused.

 

[travelmel]

A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO YOU ALL!

Thanksgiving 2004

Thanksgiving 2005-this time DDB's turn to be the piligrim. lol

Fall at the Japanese Garden.. the best time of year

The girls dressed as their favorite "American Girl" character

They were channeling Josephina and Samatha pretty hard that day

Leaf Gathering!

I love the pop!

 

[Disneygrl36]

Melissa,
I decided to put my turkey day cake over here too!!!!

We decorated for Christmas yesterday. I will take some pictures & post them over here. I didn't put everything up as we will be gone for 9 days, but I put up enough to put us in the spirit.
