So she's grounded right now, and it's driving the girl nuts. To get out of the house, she comes to only other place she can go besides work and school -- our house. And I love it. We used to spend so much time together until about a year ago when her social life got in the way...but I was prepared for it. I did the same thing to my dad and stepmom. ;)
She's been around this week and it's great to have her here -- she loves working on little crafts like me and she is really talented. (She's making me some caauuute coasters!) While she's been hanging out I've done a couple Halloween projects while she's worked on hers.
I got a couple signs for cheap and painted them white, cut out BOO and added some ribbon and stickers. Cute, yes? Not earth-shattering but for $1.50, pretty adorable.
This one I got from Erin over here...she has such cute ideas!! I saw these little containers at Hobby Lobby and couldn't figure out what to do with them, so I put them back, and then that night, I read her post. Of course. (DARN IT, another trip to HL, too bad!!) I got the .99 containers and used paper I already had. So cute! I love it!:
But don't be a DUNCE like me if you do this -- screw the lids on before you do the letters. DUH, Ace. So this needs to be redone:
I did laugh pretty hard at this though. Maybe it's time to put the crafts away.
Here's one final project I did last week. I had to show you a close up of the little tags on my black pumpkins. I love how they turned out!:
Alright, I'm ready for Christmas! Come on come on come ON!!
P.S. I think I said "cute" about 12 times.
P.P.S. I may be too late on this, but go to The Secret is in the Sauce today for a ton of giveways and some GREAT blogs. It's a great place to find new, creative sites.

cute stuff.

Love what you did. Nothing like some fun, thrifty projects. I can't wait till Christmas either.
ReplyDeleteoh my heck that sign is such a cute idea! I haven't gotten into halloween like I should, but you are inspiring me! I also love the little containers! I saw those at the craft store last night and wondered what I could do with them. That is great you're passing on your love of decorating to your daughter! Thanks for the cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Really cute stuff.

ReplyDeleteM ^..^
Oh I love your black pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThey're adorable!
That sign is absolutely adorable. I might try making one of those.
ReplyDeleteLove the black pumpkin... I have a wonderful 20 year old step daughter... GOd knew what he was getting meinto, because she is absolutley the best!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute crafts. Yes, your step daugther sounds sooo sweet. Our oldest, 21 now, didn't give me one day or minute of a problem until she turned 19 ~ then the demanding boyfriend came into the picture, she tried to balance college, work, studying, the boyfriend (who sucked up her time). . . and her head started to spin around and spew venum at us for a bit. She's back on track now, but stress can make some kids turn into "Who Are You?" for a bit.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love the treat jars. They turned out so cute.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 girls, so I know exactly what you are talking about! ;) Those decorations are cute!
ReplyDeletestill catching up... been wanting to tell you how much I LOVE your candy jars! YEAH! My problem is they don't stay full of candy very long.
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the wonky letters better than the properly lined up ones. My first thought was that they were done on purpose or for fun, then reading your blog I cracked up laughing so hard. Just what I would have done. Thanks for chuckles and the GREAT ideas on your blog
