Spooky silhouettes

 I finally decided to use my vinyl that I have had forever.  Never used it before until now.  The little pumpkin guy I made too small, so, he went on my window.

 I started off with 2 plates from the Dollar Tree - umm, $2 only.

 I went with the black silhouette look.  I used my Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge.

 I am lovin' the look of these!  What's nice, is now I have the plates and can decorate it again for other holidays.

I am in LOVE...

...with pictures like these!!!

Something about them...

I don't know what it is...

all neat and lined up...

Baking for our military troops

 I first found out about Baking GALS last year.  It is a wonderful opportunity to help make the men and women who are serving overseas (and now, who are recovering at home) their time a little better by baking cookies.  A taste of home!  I  baked some sugar cookies with glaze frosting and also included 2 bags of candy.

 Some fangs...just for FUN!  

I also added a felt BAT inside the box too.

BOO!

 

Decorating space needed

 One thing I don't have in my house is decorating space.  I have no shelves, bookcases, tv stands, etc. to decorate on or put little knick knacks on.  I have lived with it for 6 years but, it is driving me crazy now.  I have one curio cabinet in the corner that holds frames, but, that is so old now.  I think I'm getting rid of that.  In fact, I am getting rid of it.  The picture above inspired me.  Beautiful!  What do ya think?  The shelves of course.  The decorating is nice too.

Subway Art

Subway Art is all the rage in blogland.  I see it everywhere.  Isn't it beautiful!

Well..... here is my super duper, easy, kid friendly way to do subway art.  I spent $2 on this.  I already had the flat canvas and black paint.  I had gotten the stickers in the dollar section at Target awhile ago and was just going to let the kids stick them on paper.  Then, I started seeing this subway art everywhere.  I thought, I can use these word stickers for this.  I painted my canvas black, helped put the stickers on a little straight and then mod podged it.  I bought the ribbon for $1.

 I think it turned out pretty darned good.  We actually have it hanging in our kitchen now.  Something you can save and use for next year.

Coming soon, I promise...

 

I have been very lazy on posting my daughters Circus party that happened a month ago. I didn't get a lot of pictures because I was busy running the circus.  haha  My MIL got a lot and then I had to scan her pictures and then organize everything.  It will be coming very soon!  Thanks for your patience!
