Halloween Ha Ha

This one reminds me of last Halloween.  We went to our library where they were having a haunted house and we had some zombies tailing us for a little while.  When we got to the top of the stairs and to the "safe" part of the library, Nicholas who was 4 then lets out a huge sigh of relief and announced so everyone there could hear "oh man Mom, that really scared the poop right out of me!"

Hope Everyone Has a Spooktackular Halloween

The Three Little Pigs

My aunt is a lover of all things piggy.  So I went looking through that infamous "project box" beside my table and came up with this for her kitchen.  Got rid of a scrap piece of pattern paper I have been hoarding for every too.  My husband and kids however, felt that the wooden spoon would have been put to better use, whipping up a batch of cookies - can't please 'em all!

Something Wicked This Way Comes...

Or cute and a little spooky!  I finally found a use for my bright orange vellum paper.  Now I want to try out some Christmas ideas...

 

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Fall and most especially Halloween are my FAVORITE time/holiday of the year!  I have been busy crafting stuff for our annual Children's Halloween Party only to find out on Friday that this year I need to take out "event insurance" which is going to run just under $200!  So with a heavy heart I had to cancel.  I am so disappointed plus I had all these new and cool decorations for the haunted house plus 10 other rubbermaid totes filled with spooky stuff that I don't know what to do with (we live on an acreage where NO ONE trick or treats - hence the party)

So to cheer me up my mom asked me to help her make a Halloween birthday card for a girlfriend of hers.  At least Mr. Crow got to come out of the box for 10 minutes to assist with the photo.  The glitter doesn't show up great but the spiders are sparkly. Funny thing is that I picked up the branches  and web stamp for my fairy cards not Halloween at all! 

Goodbye to Summer

Enjoying one of our last nice fall days - if only it could stay like this until the end of November!  Well, really it would be nice if we didn't get winter at all but I know that is just not possible here in Northern Alberta - the white stuff is coming  :(

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.
