The GREAT PUMPKIN Blog Hop : Day 1

Hello, and WELCOME to the The GREAT PUMPKIN Blog Hop!!  We're so excited that you could join us for this WONDERFUL two-day hop!!  Please be sure to visit BOTH days for maximum ideas, maximum FUN, and maximum chances to WIN!!  Our hostess, Amy has some SUPER prizes for a few hoppers, so be sure to check out all of those details on her blog!!

If you have hopped here from Linda's blog, then you have arrived at the perfect spot in the pumpkin patch!!  If you are just popping in to visit, please take a trip back to Amy's Blog to start at the beginning -- with all the pumpkins in the patch, you'll want to be sure to see them all!!

For my project, I have FINALLY decided to START my recipe book! And with Fall and Thanksgiving right around the corner, what better to start with than a yummy pumpkin pie? :) This is not a family original recipe, but it is the same one that my Nana used for years.... it can be found on the can of ONE-PIE Pumpkin filling! LOL  But, I think it looks better on my pages than on a label!  I have made the pies myself for years now, but have never taken a picture, so this year I will be sure too, as I have left room for two.  I kept this very simple and plain as I don't want a heavily embellished cookbook.  I made the pumpkins using a cute Halloween file from Scraptastical Kreations.


NOW, onto my blog candy!!  I will have for ONE lucky hopper, a grab bag of goodies from my stash of prizes!  All you have to do is become a follower of blog and leave me some love and "Like" my fan page, CBC Scrapbooking and leave a comment saying you are hopping along! :) If you are already a fan and/or follower, just leave me some love! :) I will announce the winner on Monday on my fan page.  Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my project! Be sure to come back tomorrow for a NEW project and to get an extra chance at that grab bag! Have a Scrappy Day! :)

  16. Like your pumpkin cookbook layout. For Thanksgiving I'm making a Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake. My daughter does not like regular Pumpkin Pie but she liked the Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake and when she comes home for Thanksgiving from college she has already requested that I make it for this yr.
