Holiday cards

Decided to make my own Christmas cards this year with a little help from the Stampin Up collection and inspiration from some very crafty friends. It's been pretty fun and giving me more to do than chase a toddler. So in telling my neighbor/friend about my endeavor, she asks if I could make her business some gift card holders for Thanksgiving. I say sure and start fiddling around with ideas for the construction of the cards-it turned out they are quite easy to design and produce-so I made 10 in about an 2 hours and she loved them. Anybody need gift card holders this season lemme know!

 

Halloween goofballs

I love dressing up - always have - so it's no wonder when October rolls around I start to get a little giddy about who I'm going to be come October 31. We decided to be the Scooby Doo trio of Scoob, Shag and Velma this year. River was never thrilled over this decision. I think he had his hopes set on being Charlie Brown but I nixed that once I found my incredible wig. 

When I was growing up, there were always mobs of kids all over town from about 6-8pm on Halloween night dressed up in all sorts of costumes. Quite the opposite in SLO town. We were one of two trt-ing groups we saw that night. I don't know what the story was but it was different. We still had fun and got lots of candy. I had forgotten how much I love tootsie rolls until that night. Good times!
