Halloween night

Here is my lovely daughter in her costume. She was supposed to be a Blue Dragonfly...whatever that is...so JP went to JoAnn's and got this fleece fabric and we made a shawl for her. I decorated it with Little Felt Flurries from Stampin' Up!. I sewed the wings on the back of it, it turned out really cute. So we decided we would call her "A snow fairy". As long as she doesn't bring the snow everything will be good! :) But she is at the age where she doesn't want to be trick or treating with her mom, she wants her friends :) So I made her go with me for 45 minutes and then I drove her to where her friends where trick or treating and another mom took over :)

Well I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Now time to get ready for THANKSGIVING!! Yummy FOOD!!

My naughty little elf :)

This is a card I did for my Naughty swap. I just love the Santa pooping in the chimney. I think I know alot of people this year that might have this happen :) Just thought I would share!! I love this elf. And yes, it's Halloween and I am posting Christmas cards LOL

A little fun...

My brothers girlfriend stayed the night at my house tonight and she thought it would be fun to dress up in my daughters costume. Yeah she is tinier then my daughter so it was big on her. She was running threw my house yelling "Look what I can do" Like Stuart from Mad TV. She was cracking us up. so here are her pictures looking just fabulous!! I love ya Nicole!!

Naughty/humorous HO HO HO Swap...not for the easily offended

*********If your offended easily please

turn away now***********

So I hosted a swap on SCS and you had to make Holiday inspired naughty or humorous cards and these are what the ladies came up with. Only one was truly naughty. This was alot of fun to do and can't wait until next year :)

Also we had one lady drop out because her mom is very sick. So I got together with some of the gals and we donated an extra card so she can share them with her. I also donated all my extra cards to her. I really hope she's excited and surprised when she gets the package!!

Teddy bears

My husbands grandma passed away last year and I got an idea from someone to make doll clothes from her clothes for a way for everyone to have a little piece of her. So this is what I came up with. We got the bears from a wholesaler. And the pattern is for cabbage patch kids clothes. They work great! I am passing them out this Christmas to all the kids. Now keep in mind I do not sew...this is the first time I have ever followed a pattern. So I think I did a great job :)

Halloween decorations 2009

So this is what we came up for our decoration this year. We had a lot of fun doing it. Although we wish we could of added some headstones but we always have next year :) We live on a main street so a lot of cars slow done to read them. It's funny to see peoples faces. Just thought I would share.

Scarecrow

I made 6 of these cards for some ladies I swap with. I got this stamp set in Jan. right before it went away and never got a chance to use it. So I thought what a better time then fall :) I love summer but, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Not b/c it's scary but b/c it's fun to dress the kids up and watch their faces light up when they get a bag full of candy. Plus the leaves are changing and the smell in the air is crisp and clean. It's just a wonderful thing. I always say I would love to live somewhere warm but I think I would miss the seasons changing. Well I hope you like my card.

Finally the juices are flowing :)

So I finally had time to sit down and make a card :) I even got to break out some items I got from Bekah in my naked mail swap. I love the MTF buttons and ribbon. I think the paper was from her too. Thanks Bek!! So here is the card I came up with.

Hi There...

So I haven't been able to be creative lately sooooo I thought I would just pop in and say hi :) Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Destiny started school 2 days ago and things are crazy around here. But that's life right. Maybe my creative juices will start flowing soon and I can post some pictures soon :)

My craft room

So I am almost finished with my craft room and I am soooooooooo excited about it. My new room is double the size of my last room so I have so much room I don't know what to do with it...but I will find stuff for the empty space :) Now I can finally create again since I have a craft fair coming up soon that a good thing. :) Thanks for looking!!

My new bathroom :)

So this is my new bathroom. Almost completely finished. All I have left to do is the counter-top. I want to give a big thank you to my mama who gave me the money to do it and painted it too :). One of her gifts to us. She's the best mama in the world. And I would also like to thank my brother Joey who did a lot of the demoing and the installing of my bathtub...and my dad who did all the dry walling and made my wall square :). My DH and me did the tiling on the walls and the floor not an easy task either. I'm just happy it came out great in the end. Once we find a laminate that will look good over the turquoise laminate we will change that out and be all done{big grin}

Some more pictures of the house...

Here are a couple of pictures of what we have been doing around here. It's my craft room, bathroom and and dining room. I only painted my craft room I still have to get new carpet and some shelves. :)

My husband messed up on the last row of tile and now he has to
re-do them so it's not totally finished but it's coming along :)

Michael Jackson Tribute

He was a great artist and will be missed dearly.
I grew up listening to his music and have passed that down to my daughter.
Came as quit a shock!! You rock Michael!!

Destiny's Dance

So here is my daughter(and friend) dressed in her costume for her dance recital. It was alot of fun and the girls did such a great job. It was on Saturday the 6th of June. I thought I would just share some pictures with you.

New house...

So this is the new house I have been spending all my time at lately. I have been slaving away trying to get it to mive in codition. Me and my mom painted almost every room. I'm in the middle of painted what will be my new craft room. It's paneling now and it makes it look so much smaller then it is. I also have to figure out what I want to do to the kitchen. It needs new countertops and floor but that will be in time. Right now we are working on the bathroom. We got the tub out today and my brother is going to frame it in tomorrow. Then all the fun tiling work :) I posted some pictures of the house below. Thanks for looking! :)

This is the house. I'm standing at the street.
