Autumn Abundance Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Where does the time go? It seriously seems to be going faster and faster each day. Here we are already with the September Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Autumn Abundance. 

I just had to have the new squirrel stamp set and matching punch when I saw it. IYKYK. Or just keep scrolling to find out. 

I, of course, also had to use the saying, "can't wait to see you again," since I know my little squirrel friend will certainly be back once I put some pumpkins on my steps.  I used the new fall paper in an untraditional way to make dirt and grass. 

The little guy and his acorn just out of reach was colored using Stampin' Blends. 

Below is my chubby little menace (I mean, friend) that would visit often last year to enjoy my plentiful bounty. I had six pumpkins on my steps and he feasted on all six. 

He apparently left his discarded goods along the side of my house because we now have a large pumpkin plant growing (that we didn't plant). It is huge and you can see it has taken over my sidewalk.

We have three little volunteer pumpkins growing and can't wait to see the end result of our volunteer plant. You know if we tried to grow pumpkins they certainly wouldn't have grown nearly as much. 

This is the tiniest one so far. Hopefully it continues to grow. Time will tell. 

And here is one that is a little larger. Perhaps we should name our little squirrel friend Goldilocks since we have three sizes. Maybe one of them will be just right.  LOL

This is the largest one so far. It's about 12 inches in height. There's still a lot of flowers on the vine, so who knows maybe we will get even more late bloomers.

But if you didn't know why I needed the squirrel set, now you do. It is certainly a personal thing for me.
