Happy New Year! Can you believe it's 2018? When I was little, I found it hard to believe we'd ever be out of the 1900s. Now, here we are 18 years into this new millennium.

This past weekend, we went to a friend's house, who is known for her painted pumpkins. After some serious thought, we went with an 8-bit style Raccoon Mario and Peach. Our friend graciously … Continue reading I Really Like Our 8-Bit Mario and Peach Pumpkins
