Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Pie Pumpkin Treat "Bag" ~ This cute little DIY treat bag is double duty...it can be used for parties, gifts or just because AND when you're done with the "treats" you can actually bake a pie! ;)

My daughter has an October birthday and with it being Halloween, we combined the 2 celebratory days to make treat "bags" out of pie pumpkins!



We bought pie pumpkins, a big bag of candy and I already had tons of cupcake grosgrain ribbon (from when I made and sold bows) to get us going on this too cute one-of-a-kind treat bag. We cut the tops off, scooped out the guts and cleaned them thoroughly. We filled each with candy and tied bows around the stem....VIOLA the cutest treat bag ever (and no one else had one like it)!
