Wow, What a Weekend!

Had a wild and wooly 3 day weekend, as they say!  An all day trip to Carol's Pumpkin Farm by Grinnel with Callie and the 1st graders of West Marshall, working at MB, a Card class, 2 little overnight visitors Saturday night, and a Birthday party for Nicholas to top it off on Sunday!  Not mentioned is that each event was many hours, very late nights, very little sleep----no catching my breath until Sunday evening!   But what a fun weekend it was!!!  Loved being around all the Grandkids and my MB friends.  and of course there was over 200 pictures which will now be scrapbooked out, so this weekend will be forever remembered!

10-10-10!

On a show last week, someone said we should write down or take pictures of things we did on 10-10-10!  Well, I decided to do just that, taking pictures all day and then, of course scrapbooking them.  Wouldn't you know ---- it was one of the most (for lack of a better word) Boring days I've had in a Long, Long time!  No commitments to fullfill,  nowhere to be,  Nothing planned!  It happens to me maybe once every 6- 10 months!  But it gave me time to just take pictures of my everyday life, pictures of things I interact with briefly on a daily basis and never really appreciate.  It was a beautiful, laid back sort of day--the kind I wish I had more of--no pressure, no worries, no sense of urgency to be somewhere or do something.  I think 10-10-10 turned out just perfect--I needed a day like this!

Copic Marker Fun!

Been playing around with my Copic Markers and some new stamps I just got called "Jingle Tots".  They are so cute and I think the cards turned out really good!  May have to make a few more for Christmas!

Ladies night out challenge Completed!

At our Last Ladies Night Out, we were challenged to complete a page using a "page map" that we were given.  Got mine completed today and I must say--I  REALLY Like it!!!!   I have tons of page map magazines and books including the newest Page Maps 2---so I figure I might just start using them  for some of my layouts. 

It's DONE!

The Haunted House is DONE!--well, basically--I keep tweaking here and there--little things--details!  I added lights to this one and I love the effect.  They are LEDs and are very bright, adding a great glow all around.  My fingers are practically glued together--but it's done.  Here's a few pics.  Enjoy!  and hopefully it will be on display at the store for awhile--if I can get it there safely.

Got my Halloween Cricut Board done at Memory Bound today--all centered around their newest Halloween cartridge "Happy Hauntings".   It puts me in the "spirit" of things to come in the next month.  Also did a little more "gluing" on my haunted house--will go at it on Wednesday and try to get it done.  Was a beautiful warm day today, a good day to re-open the windows or just be outside enjoying the warm, fresh air! and my little Aiden was here to play--in the mudpuddles, of course!

A Haunted Creation in Progress!

  Today was a Rainy, cold day that reminded me a lot of Halloween weather.    It put me in the mood to work on this years Halloween Cricut things, including the newest Cricut Haunted House from Happy Hauntings.  It's a work in  progress--the House having been put together after many hours of cutting and gluing, but the Embellishing yet to be done.  I have a lot of ideas and a big house to work with.  Ghosts, bats, spiders, a "pumpkin patch", spider webbing.  This house is big by Cricut standards and has lots of room for critters and creatures to "move in" and take up residency.  Now I am anxious to get started and truly put the "haunted" in my big black house!----more to come on it's progress!
