HI Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a theme challenge for us. Being a Brit by birth, pumpkin pie isn't the first thing that comes to mind for me. When I think of fall foods, I think of comfort foods. Pies, crumbles, cobblers and lots of warm custard.
