Happy Halloween

Well it's finally here and gone. We just turned off our lights abit ago. It was so sweat to see all of the little ones in their costumes again. With some of them being really creative. I love it. And just think, I was thinking about not handing out candy this year. What was I thinking. Thanks to DH and our little one for basically pushing me to do it, I thank them for it. Thanks guys. You are the best!!!!!
Here's a photo of our little one and her friends. Everyone meets back here at our house and we get photos...lol....like they really think they will get away from that, fat chance...and here's a photo of our pumpkin that we carved out today. You can click on the photos to make them bigger if you would like to.
Here's some cards and a tag with Tim Holt as inspiration. I really love his work and products.
Here's a little bag I made for a challenge over at Hallmark Scrapbook on the message board. If you haven't checked us out, pop on over and play along. The challenges are such a fun way to play with your Cricut machine. Or even just to hang out with us.
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. We are off to the beach again. It's my father in laws 70th birthday.
Hugs from a very worn out Crabbie

It's Sunday

and feeling alot like fall around here in Charm City. We had rain finally yesterday. We needed it so much to. Things here are busy. We are in the middle of selling girl scout cookies with the troop. I love to hate this time of year. Ohhhh the calories...lol...it's so hard not to eat them. So this year I thought I'd only order a few boxes. At which I did really good at. But then I get to sell them at work and that's the hard part. Case after case of cookies just calling my name....lol...
On another note, I haven't done much here in my studio this week. I just switched out my Halloween stamps to Christmas stamps. So I think I'm ready to start making Christmas cards and what'nots....So what are you in the middle of? I would love to see...
Here's a couple of projects that I made a couple weeks back.
This is a light up candy dish I made out of chipboard. I sent this to a friend over on Hallmark Scrapbook site. I think she should have received by now, so I can post it here....I hope she likes it...it's alittle different, but so am I...lol...
Here's a little box I made out of chipboard for a little present at Christmas time. I used a connector from the hardware store for the body and a wooden drawer pull for the head. Isn't she just soo cute? I know, she's different, but I love different...lol....
Well thanks for stopping in. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

twice in one week....that's great for me....I just wanted to make a short post...I forgot to mention yesterday about the sale going on over at Hallmark Scrapbook site in their store...if you haven't gone over lately, stop, drop and roll right on over....lol... Hallmark Scrapbook here's a little fella that I worked on today....still deciding if I'm going to make him into a stand or into a card...each cut was made with chipboard then housed with a layer of material and backed with black cardstock....and the beard and hair I cut from that fun fur stuff you get from the craft store...messy---that stuff is really messy---lots of fur flying everywhere--lol...but it's so fun to play with.... Thanks for stopping by... hugs from Charm City
