Yummy Pumpkin Recipes.

I love the time each day that

I spend reading and following blogs.

I am proud to say that I have made some truly amazing friends online.

I would like to introduce you to one of those ladies,

her name is Sue with Country Pleasures.

Each week on “Tasty Tuesday” Sue features a yummy homemade recipe.

I love the recipes and I am sure that you will want to do some cooking with Sue’s weekly picks.

Here is my favorite recipe from this month.
Pumpkin Pie French Toast

This recipe is the next best thing to having Pumpkin Pie for breakfast with your coffee.

Did I ever have pie for breakfast?

Well I have had pie for breakfast, but only on a Holiday.

Yummy.  I love Pumpkin Pie.

Yummy.  I love pumpkin pie.

This week Sue has a super fun and easy Pumpkin Butter recipe posted.

Be sure to head over to her blog at

Country Pleasures and check it out.

When you are visiting Sue’s blog be sure to scroll down to October 24th post.

This post is a “Must See”.

Sue and her hubby designed and built a incredible shabby potter shed from up-cycled material.

I want one in my backyard.

This shed is super cute and

so handy for potting plants and gardening.

I hope that you enjoyed meeting Sue

and that you will become a new follower of her blog.

We had a great time camping last weekend.

I am sorry, I forgot to take photos to share with you. :(.

We are heading back to Hunsader Farms this weekend.

I will be sure to take some photos to share with you.

Smiles, Paula

{ Little Girls Halloween Outfits }

I am so happy that Kelli from Tiny Made on Etsy accepted my invitation

to stop by and visit us here on my blog.

She is an very talented lady creating

the most adorable clothing line for little ones EVER.

 
Hello my name is Kelli.

I am happily married to a college sweetheart. We have 4 beautiful children:
Ethan 9
Samuel 7
Sophia 5
Lilly 3

I am currently a "stay at home mother"...aka:

taxi driver
chef
house cleaner
tutor
best friend
accountant
business woman
etc..... :)

 
I have an addiction to crafting and fabric.

The sewing started when we had our first apartment with home sewing

and when I started having kids I graduated to clothing!

Then...I discovered Etsy.

From there..... it didn't take long for Tiny Made to start.

My nickname as a child was "tiny", so that's where the Tiny Made came from :)

My days are spent as a mother, my nights as a seamstress!

Paula Thank you!

I have enjoyed sharing a little bit about myself

and my Etsy shop with you on your blog.
Thanks so much, Kelli

I discovered Kelli while browsing through Etsy looking for Halloween related items.

The fabulous photos in her shop caught my eye;

I flipped over the cutest of her work.

I am so glad that I found her shop because

“This girl's work is totally amazing and she is super NICE”.

I am in love with her little girl’s Halloween outfits...they are just so adorable.

The colors and designs are just to wicked cool for Halloween.

Perfectly put together with amazing

detail that any little girl would love to wear.

Kelli, THANK YOU for agreeing to be featured on my blog.

I sincerely thankful for having you here on my blog at Paula Parrish ~ Living a Blessed Life.

Watch out Kelli; I am sending you a big virtual hug

from Florida all the way to Washington.
Don't Cha just you love Kelli work?

On another note, now that we are in a fall mood.
I just worked up a new batch of our "Smashed Pumpkin Pie Soap".
This yummy soap was a big hit last year at this time and now it back for the season.
Made with organic pumpkin this soap is wonderful for your skin to attain a healthy glow.
Pumpkin is awesome for your skin because it is loaded full of good stuff;
like vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A,
potassium, alpha-carotene, zinc, beta carotene and enzymes.
This soap looks and smells super enjoyable just like a pumpkin pie.

Do you think I should include a bar "Smashed Pumpkin Pie Soap" in my September giveaway?
