Free Printable: Fall Bucket List

We had so much fun with our Summer Bucket List,
that I decided to make a Fall Bucket List.


The thing I like about Bucket Lists is that
they are a visual reminder of things I want to get done.
So often life gets so crazy and time passes by
and I think - Man! I wanted to do such and such.
This way I have a cute checklist of awesome stuff to do.

While perusing Pinterest,
I saw a fancy Fall Bucket List and I decided
to make a fancy one this time too!

This is what I created:



I put it in a picture frame and put it on my bookshelf.


I might take it out of the frame and mount
it on a piece of cardstock for sturdiness & awesomeness,
so that we can write straight on it.

However, if I leave it in the frame,
then I can use a dry erase marker to write on the glass.


I made one for you too!!!
(DOWNLOAD HERE)
There is a version with text and a BLANK version,
in case you have no interest in leaf piles or zoos :)
ENJOY!

No Craft - But A Recipe!

I don't have a craft to share,
so I'm sharing a Fall recipe.
It's one of my "must make at least twice" Fall recipes
that I got from one of my fabulous college roommates.

1 1/2 c. shortening

3 eggs
4 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 large can pumpkin
7 1/2 c. flour
3 tsp. cinnamon
3 tsp. nutmeg
3 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 packages chocolate chips

Cream together shortening, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in pumpkin. Add dry ingredients, mixing well. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

BEWARE! IT MAKES A TON!

If you don't need 150+ cookies - you can always cut the recipe in half.

And here's a recipe card I made last year for a recipe exchange. Enjoy!
