HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I just love Halloween but this year will be a disappointing one.  It is raining and it is not supposed to let up until overnight.  Which means very little trick or treaters.  Only the ones that are brave enough to endure being soaked...which means the teenagers.  And we are unable to display our usual cemetery scene because most of our cemetery runs on electricity and is not waterproof.  My headless bride will just have to hang out with me in the house. Along with our zombie Grammy rocking her zombie grandbaby. She's our newest addition.

Everyone please have a safe and happy Halloween!!!!

I'm back to crafting this week.  I can't believe how much I've got done.  It felt so good to be creating again.  I made more Halloween goodie bags for my neighbors' kids.  They look just the same as the ones below for J's Halloween party but instead of the orange circle punch I used the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch that I ordered.  

In addition we had two parties to go to last weekend and I made cards for both of those parties.  One was a Promotion Party and the other one was a Surprise 50th birthday party.  For the 50th birthday I found a card in a magazine that I recreated.  The party was for a man so those cards I find particularly hard to make. Men don't find things as cute as we women do.  But here is a picture of the card...

I used pop dots to raise the 18250 and the way I took the picture you can see the shadow from it.  But I thought what a great idea for a man's card.  I used purple because he is one of my daughter's coaches and her team color is purple.  I also made him four glasses etched with their team name.  Let me tell you...big hit with the other coaches that happen to be at the party!  I guess I might be busy at Christmas time making more glasses..haha!

Halloween Goodie Bags

I made these goodie bags for a Halloween Party J is going to.  I am a bit disappointed though.  Don't get me wrong these bags turned out super cute but my original plan included a punch at the bottom of the cardstock.  Needless to say I ordered the punch and paid for the upgraded shipping so I would have it in time to make the bags and well, never received the punch.  I had to go with the orange circles which are still cute but not quite what I had pictured in my head.  Here is the bag I made...

The bag is 11x5.  I used black and orange cardstock that I got from Michael's.  Cut at 5.5x 8.  The tombstone was cut from the Cricut Simply Charmed Cartridge.  I cut it at 3".  The stamp is from Stampin' Up and the ink is White Cloud color Brillance collection I also bought at Michael's.  The orange circles is a Martha Stewart punch (also bought at Michaels).

I am ready for the weekend.  Our plan is to start getting the yard ready for winter.  We are taking down our vegetable garden, closing the pool, and putting up the Halloween decorations.  I really looking forward to the decorations.  I love Halloween!

In addition to all that, it is Homecoming weekend for MJ's school.  Football game tonight and dance Saturday night.  I love seeing him all dressed up.  Just like dad he is so handsome in a suit.  Not all guys can pull off a suit and tie or a tuxedo.  But my boys can.  Love it.

J's busy planning a weekend with her friends in order to get out of the yard work.  Sneaky little thing she is.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
