Confetti for Fall



Autumn leaves are turning and when we think of autumn confetti we often think first of leaf confetti. And yes, that is the most popular fall confetti on the market. But wait, there's more


Apple Confetti for your Johnny Appleseed Day Celebrations and For Back to School Scrapbooking. ABC Confetti and Number Confetti work well for Back to School too.




One of my favorites is Acorn Confetti. Thinking about the beautiful fall leaves and the squirrels gathering the acorns takes me back to my childhood in rural New York State.


I remember the adults worrying about the squirrels getting into the attic while the children hoped they would.


Before you know it Halloween will be here. There are several new Halloween Confetti shapes this year

Back to School, An Apple for the Teacher


Well lots of schools started back up this week. In our little town in Northern California, the elementary schools started today in 103 degree heat. Yikes


I swear when I was a kid we didn't start until September. Thank goodness for A/C. The man who invented that should have a national holiday. Who did invent air conditioning? Well I decided to find out. His name is Willis Carrier. When was air conditioning invented? Well his patent was approved in 1906.




So, those lucky little kids have nice cool air to learn their ABC's and since this is a blog about confetti and we don't happen to have air conditioning confetti you'll have to check out our ABC confetti instead. Seriously folks, I needed a theme and it's hot and it's the first day of school.
Lest the math teachers and math lovers among you protest, we do have number confetti too.
In fact we have so many numbers that it's impossible to show them all.
And for the teachers pets we have shiny red apple confetti. Sprinkle it on your teachers desk...oops don't say where you got the idea

More tomorrow and don't forget your homework
