Hey Jack!




Posted by PicasaThis is the work of my son, the first pumpkin he has carved all by himself, unfortunately Jack didn't last to long within two days he had turned to mush and mold.  Luckily I had taken these pictures right away.  I had read somewhere that if you put lemon juice on fruit it will last long, fyi, not true for pumpkins.  He did a good job at carving, I made some pretzel sticks and he made the decorative tin can, he gets his craftiness from me ;).  The rat next to the pumpkin, you can barely see him.  There is a story behind this rat, which is not real, thank goodness.  The kids and I like to trick and scare each other so we have various fake snakes, bug, rodents lying around the house and when you least expect it when you open a draw, closet or container, yes there will be a critter to greet you.  The rat is our lastest addition to the family the kids really got me the other day, I walked right into the bedroom and there he was right in the middle of the floor and oh yes I screamed and ran the other direction and of course then felt foolish, I was the one who had just recently purchased the rat.  They laughed!!! 

It's Spooktacular













This is what I gave my boss for boss's day she loves Halloween, she happens to be my bff, I had made this card awhile back but never found the perfect sentiment for the inside I finally did from Graphicat

The BOMB and not in the good way

Ok , so I haven't been around here in awhile.  I got a little discouraged and lost some juice.  See about a year ago I became a demonstrator, high hopes, gun ho!! not to make millions but to do what I love and share it (yea and ok if I could cover my costs I would have been pleased).  I should have known better this was my third attempt at this kind of business, see , I just am not a salesperson, just doesn't work for me.  So for months I didn't advance in the business part of it, I finally decided to give it a good go ahead, move forward, I had to work it, right?  So I printed some flyers, passed them out, made lots of crafty projects, reserved a building, spent lots of money, and waited for them to come........
.....and waited.  They didn't come!  How could this be?  No one?? (actually my bff and three co-crafters did come, thank you for being there for me) All day we sat there, not one person.  I'm sorry but I found this quite discouraging, I thought I had found the calling I had always been looking for.  Now I had to evaluate my situation again, quit or hang in there?  What to do , what to do?? I really felt after three attempts at this line of work and another let down, I was being told to stop, this is not it, but how can that be, I love this, I love crafting.  So I didn't blog for awhile, I did still craft because I had specific things I had to get done, but my heart wasn't in as much.  That and life kinda got in the way!!  Lots of things going on, I'm sure you all know what I mean.
So today I decided to blog, wasn't going to, it just happened.  I have know decided to just let things be and I will find my path, sooner or later.  I love to craft and will continue, (not to mention I have to use all this stuff I have bought, can't let it go to waste ;)

Awwww, this widdle babee is soo kwoot






This week at Simon says stamp and show  is anything goes, how easy is that!  Over at Scrappin the music the inspiration is Three Little Birds, it's so much fun to scrap to music.  The words to this song would be the message I give to my youngest here almost twelve years ago, and the words I wish I would have believed if I had heard them twelve years ago.  I chose 3 pics and added the birdie.  At One stop craft challenge the recipe is 1 ribbon/lace, 2 pattern paper and 3 buttons.  I used more of some of the items, not sure if this will count.  Wow there is nearly 200 entries at 2 sisters challenge      where it's anything goes.  Babies is the theme at Scrapcreations  this week.  It's cute and cuddly at Moving along with the times.  Wow there is lots of embellies at Stamp something  , mine for this page is the ribbon, I love this ribbon and my flourishes.  Gingersnap Creations  has a recipe of 3 words, 3 papers and 3 buttons, again I maaaayyy have went overboard on the buttons, I can't help it , it's my new die.  There's buttons galore at Frosted designs.  There is no pink or blue on this page which isn't allowed this week at Crafty catz.  It's an open challenge at Sketches in Thyme  you just have to use any sketch.  I followed the sketch at Sketchabilities  , there is some fantastic inspiration there.

It's me

Yes it's me, and my blog photo.  I follow I Heart Faces it's all about photography, which I love and I always want to enter but kinda think my stuff is never good enough, so this challenge is for bright and vivid and I thought this fit the theme.  I took this pic myself and edited it in picasa.  I am always looking for that wow factor in my pics, something that speaks to me.  This says - hey! I'm here alive in living color, push the limits and live to the fullest!
thanks for looking

edited to add the pic again blogger wanted to eat it!

It's in 3D







You should see the awesome entries at the 3d challenge at Paper Craft Planet Blog the butterfly example is really cool.  I had to give it try.  The cool thing is I will just flatten when I put it in envelope and when it comes out (hopefully) it will pop back into shape. The Hot Spot  is looking for laser cut details.  Crafty Hos' wants to see bright blue , green and yellow this week.

Belle of the Ball

It's both pleasure and pain at HDH this week.  Something you like and something you don't.  I love my stamp by Daniel Torrente , I got it from Stampotique.  The pain part or dislike is single layer cards, I can never seem to pull them off where I am satisfied enough, cas cards are hard for me too, I love to pile things on and I am not found of even #'s unless its 8 or symmetry.  So I definetly made a card I don't usually make, but I gotta say I think she's pretty cute!  Anything goes at Craft Your Passion and you can enter as many times as you want as long as it's different and no backlinking.  Try it on Tuesdays has some weird and wonderful stuff they are showing off.  At Stampotique they want to see cas, and you can use any stamp for this challenge.  I did choose this stamp from Stampotique, I love it and don't get to use it often enough.   Thanks for  looking!

If your on the right track you should have arrived from inspiring  Trisha 's  blog 


and this is my creation that I have made for this special day
I  used an image from Delicous Doodles, I colored the flowers with copics, stamped su flourish background, used th colorwash on the background, ms border punch, michaels ribbon, th emb folder , stickles
 
Ok, so in my enormous amount of spare time(ha ha, best joke I told all year) I decided to appreciate the skull some more and made this
 
 
the image I got from smeared and smudged, I think the love paper might be pimp my tags, colored with copics
