Fall Inpiration

I love the colors this time of year - I think that is why I love Halloween so much!  So I thought I would put together some "earthy/fall" kind of cards...  I painted the little chipboard flowers with shimmery paint.  I LOVE how they turned out (kind of hard to see in the picture but trust me - they are fabulous!)

Friday's Funny

This is looking like my Christmas gift list - not to mention the time involved to make it too.  Ah - I guess that is what makes it so special - HA HA

Monsters Under the Bed - Oh My!

I was hoping that with some friendly monsters to cuddle with, it might encourage the kids to stay in their own beds all night.  Well they were thrilled and I had so much fun creating them all - great!  Did it work? NOPE!

Round 2 of Colds and Flu!

Just when I thought everyone was just about over their colds we got hit with another round this time, which included a nice little bout of stomach flu too!  On the bright side I was able to get a few projects done for the craft fair I (stupidly?) signed up for.  And I did get my clothes pins done for the memo boards I was doing for Christmas.

It Just Gets Better

Now the stomach flu has hit our house.  So I have been quietly crafting away while naps are happening.  I thought my project box would be depleted by now since I have been diligently pulling stuff out to complete but it is still pretty full.  I like Christmas but can't wait to get to the Halloween projects in the box!!!

 I'm Back

School has been back in session for 2 weeks and already the kids have brought home diseases and of course it is me that gets hit the worse.  Ended up missing 3 days of work and I am still recovering. However when the drugs kicked in and I felt I could sit upright for a few minutes I went to work on creating a few memo holders for Christmas gifts. I up - cycled the backing boards from some damaged picture frames I found at the Put and Take.  I still want to make some matching clothes pins to accompany them.

Fa La La La La

While I would like to be working on Halloween stuff, I am also still trying to organize my space.  So instead of finding somewhere to store the leftover kits from last year's Christmas card class, I went ahead and finished them. Now they are ready to use, I have one less thing in my project box and at least 9 members of my family will be getting a homemade card this year.
