Originally made for Pumpkin’s Preschool Harvest Festival, this game has gotten a lot more use than just that one night.Note to self: Next year, back the face parts in cardstock to make them more sturdy.

I almost forgot about this great hand knit spider hat Baby Brother received as a baby gift. Perfect for the Harvest Festival.

A long ago-thrifted Dorthy costume(didn’t have the red ruby shoes, but we thought the rainbow shoes were the next best thing) and a Madeline costume from three Halloweens ago. This time, we didn’t need the red bob wig.

If you can’t buy handmade this holiday season, might I suggest buying mom-owned? Laurie over at Tip Junkie has a comprehensive list of mom-preneurs in almost every gifting category (including books!)
