I'm a bad blogger :(

I'm sorry that I've been such a bad blogger and blog follower.  I've been hard working on stuff in the evening just haven't really been on the computer much.  I hope that you are all having a wonderful fall so far. 

This is a wonderful Halloween wreath made with burlap from Craftaholics Anonymous.  Instead of using wooden letters I cut mine twice with my Expression using the Alphalicious cartridge on chipboard. I used some random papers I had in my Halloween drawer and then covered them with Glossy Accent to make them shiny.  I love how it turned out and ended up making several of them since I had the burlap.  It only took me about an hour to tie all the burlap and add the letters.  However I spent two days cutting the burlap into strips.  I probably won't ever make one again.

I just wanted to share that my Rhalynn got her ears pierced yesterday.  She's been wanting them done for awhile but I was holding off.  She was a champ, not even a whimper.  She's just growing up so fast.  Its hard to see the earing in her ear since they are so tiny but she is so proud of them.

My laptop

I hope that everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween! My girls had a wonderful time trick or treating with Pirate Daddy. They came home loaded with candy and talk of all the wonderful costumes they saw. The girls were really into everyone else dressed up, for them wearing a costume is pretty much a daily occurrence. We have a chest of drawers full of costumes, fun hats and play jewelry. So I'm often accompanied by Super Girl or one of the many Disney Princesses.



On to the crafty part of today's post. I was looking at my desk the other day and realized that my laptop looked a little plain. So I decided that I need to jazz it up a little.





I used pink and green wall pops. The everything but the "M" is from the Sweetheart cartridge, and for the life of me I can't remember what cart the "M" came from.








Thanks for stopping by. I love getting comments!!!

Christmas cards as far as the eye can see....

I've been working on Christmas cards since early summer and I've finially finished all of mine. YEA!!!! I still have a few to do for my Mom but now I have a great system and can turn them out in now time.

I'm posting my latest and favorite one. I made 12 of these. I usually only make about 6 but I just loved them so much I had to make more.

The hat, tree and candy cane are one stamp for the $1 bin at M's. I just used a 3/4" circle punch to punch each one out. The used my Cricut to cut 1" red circles and 1 1/4" green scalloped circles. The green cirlces have very shallow scallops since I used the tag from Alphalicious cart. I used the Cuttlebug and the D'vine Swirls embossing folder on the lower part. This is my first project with my new Cuttlebug and I think I'm in love.

Thanks for stopping by and have a scrappy weekend.
