easy wrapping and pumpkin seeds

here's a few quick and easy do it yourself projects.

i saw this idea on pinterest and thought it was so cute!  just cut up a paper grocery bag and use it as wrapping paper.  tie it up with some twine and add some flare to make it your own such as a cute tag or scrapbooking items.  very easy with a vintage look!

the next thing is a super simple fall treat.  roasted pumpkin seeds. i'm sure there are tons of fancy ways to do this, but i like mine plain and simple.  with butter and salt! here's what you'll need:

-1 1/2-2 cups pumpkin seeds
-2 tablespoons melted butter
-salt

1. First I set the oven to 300 degrees.  Then I removed as much pumpkin from the seeds as possible and rinsed them off in a strainer

2. Melt butter and toss seeds in it to coat.  Spread evenly in a single layer on a cookie sheet

3.  Sprinkle salt over all the seeds. If you are like me, you will sprinkle LOTS of salt
4.  Bake for 40 minutes, stirring and flipping them a few times throughout (and adding more salt, woops.)

perfection! i've eaten half of these in about 20 minutes. dangit.
