Happy Halloween and the Boo Crew!

For my final project, why not a spooky, fun truck with ghoulishly fun friends going out for a night of haunting. This Boo Crew has everything from a black cat to things going bump in the night!
I still have to add my lights and I think this is so cute!! What do you think? If you want to see another Boo Crew, go here to see the YouTube video that inspired me to create my own Boo Crew!

Halloween Wreaths

I have an upcoming craft fair and so I have been busy now creating wreaths for Halloween. The theme for around our area is the Day of the Dead. There are Sugar Skulls everywhere! I buy all my product from the Dollar Tree and Dollar General when ever I can, when I can not, I get them from Joann's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby or online stores.
From now till Halloween, I will be posting my wreaths. I sell them for $30.00.

I am at a Craft Fair today!

Today I am at a craft fair, I will post pics of it later on, until then I have scheduled for you today the door prize for my craft fair. I will draw the name of the winner on December 5th, because on December 4th I will be at my final craft fair for the year. Here in Ohio, majority of the people are Buckeye fans (I and my husband root for the team up north, Go Blue!!). Now our families on both sides are 90% BUCKEYES! As you can see we are always out numbered.

So in honor of my buckeye fans I have created an exclusive set of 8 Christmas greetings using the Quilted Christmas and Hang Your Stockings, using the mini tinsel, Stitched felt embellishments and rhinestones. I used Real Red and Smoky Slate for a lot of the card bases. I used some silver foil on a few, some glimmer paper in silver and dazzling diamonds. The card in the right hand corner in garden green has the embossing folder Quilt top. Insides are left blank for you to write in your name, quote or what ever you want.

 How would you like to win this set of cards? 

All you have to do is fill out the survey and email it to me
 and on December 5th I will have the wheel picker pick the winner!

Happy Independance Day!

I hope everyone is celebrating the 4th of July with family, friends and an awesome cookout. If you are celebrating with fireworks, please be safe and lastly THANK YOU! to all our veterans who have served and our serving to keep our country safe.

A great Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our family had a good one unfortunately my mother-in-law's eldest dog "Maggie" did not make it to see Christmas. Our vet did his best to try and get her to make it through the holiday but told us he did not think she would make it. So, Christmas day was not the best for her.

This is why my Christmas post is late this year. Again I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
