Diy Magnet board

Today's project 
I painted an old rusted baking tray black. Let dry. 
And made a cute Halloween magnet from an old magnet I had on the fridge.  

The black metal sheet pan makes a great magnet holder for year round decoration. I thinking Thanksgiving or Christmas... next.

Mid Autumn Festival

 






  • Construction or other heavy colored paper (red is a traditional color for Chinese New Year)
  • Scissors
  • A ruler
  • A pencil
  • Tape
  • A stapler
  • Glue, glitter, stickers, markers, paint, sequins, and other things to decorate your lantern
  1. Fold your sheet of paper in half lengthwise.
  2. With your pencil and ruler, draw a line lengthwise on the paper one inch from the top of the unfolded edge. This is your "do not cut line" that marks where you stop cutting.
  3. Now, take your pencil and ruler and draw lines one inch apart from the folded edge to the do not cut line.
  4. Cut the paper along the lines to the "do not cut" line.
  5. Now unfold the paper. If you flip it over and re-crease the fold in the opposite direction you can hide your pencil marks.
  6. Roll the paper into a cylinder and tape the narrow edges of the paper together where they meet. The middle of the lantern will flare out at the crease.
  7. Cut a one-inch wide strip from the narrow end of another sheet of colored paper for your lantern's handle. Use the stapler or tape to affix the handle to the top of the lantern.
  8. Add decorations: stickers, glitter, paint, markers, crayons, and more can be used to make your lantern a thing of beauty!

 Moon cakes Day !

Matthew 5:15–16

16: Let your light shine before men, that. they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father which is in heaven. ... glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Fall at the Library

 

It's Pumpkin time at the library ! 


As we get reading for another busy Fall day at the Library ... 

Its Circle time : 


Fall on the Farm. Pumpkins. Crisp Leaves

Take a brisk fall journey around the Little Farm from dawn until dusk.
A delightful fall story with nostalgic small farm life and all your favorite fall activities.
It truly is pumpkin time on the Little Farm!

Order your copy today!

Pick up It's Pumpkin Time Little Farm if you are looking for:

  • A classic read for children ages 2 to 8 years old.
  • Back to school books, ideal for your classroom, homeschool curriculum, and more!
  • Seasonal and educational books about the changing seasons, fall on the farm, autumn activities, etc.
  • Fall Calendar Units or Farm Units and so much more!

Book Review : 
This is a sweet little book for young readers. It combines what we all love about fall in such a cute way. This book does a good job conveying the "feeling" of fall with all of the sights, smells, tastes and sounds of this wonderful time of year. It made me want to go pick some apples off of my tree, make some pumpkin pancakes and gaze out at the harvest moon! I would recommend this book to add to your fall book collection and to get your child excited about the season with all the fun things to come!

 What teens are checking out? 




Halloween arrives in Brookville. The fall festival is in full swing and this year’s corn maze promises to be one no one will ever forget, especially for CLANCY DENTON and his friends as they will battle an evil force that has called Brookville home for over 400 years.
Book Review : 
 The author  provides a sharp, quick read set during Brookville's Fall Festival. Despite being only 75 pages, we get a good development of the lead characters as well as the mysterious entity pulling Clancy Denton to the eponymous maze. Without giving away too many spoilers, there are several stand out scenes including a dream sequence and the climatic journey into the Maze. Field excels when he's writing cinematic-like scenes balancing character development and strong visuals.

While The Corn Maze is a great read during all parts of the year, its perfectly appropriately for the Fall spooky season. I've been a fan of Field's work and I look forward the next release, Katie Kennedy, previewed in this novella.
