shabby chicks PRETTY little FALL GIVEAWAY...and More!

hey ya'll...
are you enjoying the Fall yet?

well, if not, get ready!
i told you i had a few little giveaways and today is 
the first one.

but ...before we get to that whole thing
let's see what else we have on the agenda for this
Fall Open House!

how about a little snack?
it's so easy and delicious...
and if you're really talented, scoop out a pumpkin to serve it in.
(remember...we are ALL about easy, yummy and not spending TONS of money on ingredients:)
it looks something like this...
PUMPKIN FLUFF DIP
adapted from Allrecipes.com 

1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
In a large bowl, mix together instant vanilla pudding mix, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping. Chill in the refrigerator until serving. Serve with ginger snaps, vanilla wafers, cinnamon graham crackers or animal crackers.

OR...
maybe you'd rather have a 
BANANA PUMPKIN SHAKE!!!
Ingredients:
* 1 cup milk
    * 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
    * 1 banana
    * dash of cinnamon

Blend in blender until smooth and foamy. Serve immediately.

or maybe that good ol' standby
CHIPS and DIP
 now this one is TOTALLY cute , easy and...
let's face it... cheap budget friendly:)
just scoop out a pumpkin, line it with a pretty napkin
and fill it up with chips.
maybe scoop out some small ones for the dip.
now that might call for a 
YEEHAW!!!!!

if you have some pretty doilies laying around like we did,
stitch them together a bit and you'll have something like this, made by miss Taylor...
 a DOILY TABLE RUNNER.
beautiful!!!

okay, okay...

i said it has something to do with ruffles yesterday, remember?
well, hear it is...
this ADORABLE, RUFFLED, apron...
 in beautiful fall colors...
perfect for cooking that Thanksgiving dinner.
OR...
perfect for cooking the package of cinnamon apple scones
that I am including with the apron.
all you need to do is leave a comment and i'll
put you in the random generated drawing...
that's it...a simple "hey that's pretty cute"
and you might win this pretty little apron!
