How is your week going? Hopefully it is going well!! Did you know that this month’s Daily Download is actually a collab? It is! Becky Young Designs and Pixels by Jen partnered up to bring it to you!
On Friday, I will get rid of all the previous day links, so make sure you tell your friends!!
Wow The first of the month is sooo busy especially since I’m still trying to come out of my Halloween candy sugar coma. But here I am with a winner from last weeks challenge! Sarah with her Walking the Path Layout using that fabulous font for her title. Here’s what she won:
Now since it’s the first of the month challenges are being posted as I type (well not mine because I’m trying to get this done first. 🙂 ) So because not all the challenges are posted yet, and because I don’t have wonderful LO’s to show off, This week I want YOU to tell me what YOUR favorite challenge is and why. You can even post a link to one of your layouts from that challenge.
Now here’s the super great news! Just for sharing which is your favorite challenge I will give you 2 bonus brownie points! How easy is that? (please post your gingerscrap username when commenting if it’s different than what posts.)
To get you started I’ll tell you My favorites are Stephs Template Challenge and Amy’s Paper to Digi Scraplift. I have found that my imagination is waning in age and I need a little help getting started. These challenge do a fantastic job at that.
Here’s some of my Layouts from these challenges.
I want to see your layouts from YOUR favorite challenge! So be sure to comment and get the 2 bonus brownie points!
Hi wonderful women !
Did you all survive Halloween? Oh my, you should see my house! As I look around I see dinner dishes, costume parts and pieces, make-up, hair spray, glitter (and neither of my kids had glitter on their costumes this year… hmmmm very strange) and mass quantities of candy wrappers!
I decided to be a Pirate at around 11 am Halloween day. LOL I thought it would be really cool to weave some different texture into my hair. I made long braids with yarns and other strings woven into my hair. It turned out really cool!! But now….. how the heck do I get them all out!!?? oh no! I really don’t know what I am gonna do! Hopefully I won’t end up bald!! Here is a photo- I will have to let ya all know how I get the removal process goes 🙂
OK now on to the real reason you are reading this.

Are you ready to Dish!??
Today I have some yummy Pumpkin Seed Recipes to share with you, one sweet & one savory.
I have tried a BUNCH of different recipes. But now I dont even follow one.. I do it all by memory and just eyeball it 🙂
-Preheat the oven to 350
-Separate the seeds- then rinse them in a colander.
-In a big glass bowl I melt 1 stic…k of unsalted butter.
-Put all the seeds in the bowl with the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
-Add about 1 tsp Sea Salt and 1 tsp Montreal Steak seasoning
-Mix, mix, mix
-Pour onto a baking sheet with sides, spread evenly.
-Shake a bit more Sea Salt and Steak seasoning on top
-Bake for about 15 minutes, stir and mix, even them out on the baking sheet again and continue baking.
– I check on them every 5-8 minutes- mixing and flattening them out again.
-They are done once they are a nice golden brown.
-Let them cool for just a little while.. I LOVE them warm! I eat them as soon as they are cool enough to pop in my mouth 🙂
Totally simple and sooo yummy!
I also love a sweet recipe- It is kinda like a Pumpkin Seed Brittle.
I am sure I am not the one that made up this recipe.. but I have never seen it anywhere, so maybe I did. Lol – I played around with it till I got this yummy creation 🙂
-Roast the seeds as above- but DO NOT add the Steak Seasoning and cut down the salt by about half. Once they are done remove them from the oven, and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with wax paper. The baking sheet needs to have sides on it- if it doesn’t you can use a casserole dish
……
Make a simple brown sugar toffee-
-2 cubes unsalted butter
-1 cup dark brown sugar
-Stir in a pot over med heat until it is at a full bubble
-Once at a full bubble – time 3 minutes – stirring constantly
-Remove from heat and add .5 tsp Sea Salt and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract.
-Stir fast, this will start to harden very quickly!
-Pour over the pumpkin seeds and shake the baking sheet to even it all out.
-Let cool till it breaks apart
-Crack it all up and enjoy!
Wow – tomorrow is the last day huh? Would you like to see the entire kit as you have been collecting it? I’ll show you in just a second! I just want to remind you all that tonight we are going to play Bingo with Rachel of Pretty In Green! I hope you are all able to come!
