Halloween

Has it gone by already?  Wow I have been so busy that I hardly noticed, but I did get some cute pictures of my grandchildren.

Jordan was a fat Ninja?  I don't even know where that came from. He does have a weird sense of Humor, I think he got that from his Grandpa. 

Zack loves that he has a Military uniform and wears it as often as he can.  I think he would actually live in it if we would let him. So of course he was a Soldier.

Miss Mary was a witch with a green face and the mole on her cheek.

Last we have Miss Ariel, oh I mean Miss Hailey.  She loves that wig and outfit so much that I forget that she is really Hailey under all that hair.  I love the little poses that she makes when ever she sees that we have the camera out.  She just turned 5 on the 28th so she is really understanding how the trick or treating works.  Dawn said that as they went door to door Hailey would say" Thank you" and the next house she would say" Trick or Treat" and at the next house she would say "Have a nice day."  So she changed it up at every house. 

I stayed home and handed out candy while I worked on my projects.  We only have maybe 10 kids that come to our door since we are in a hidden area.

I have been so busy lately trying to get ready for the Bazaars that I signed up for that I have hardly been checking my email and have only gotten on the computer to print out tags or labels for the items I have been making.  If you are in the area and want to stop by I will be at the BCT Holiday Bazaar at the Beavercreek Elementary School located at 21944 S. Yoeman Rd. in Beavercreek, OR on Saturday November 6th, From 10:00 am till 4:00 pm and at the Carus Elementary School fundraiser Bazaar located at  14412 S.Carus Rd, Oregon City, OR on Saturday November 13th from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm.  

You can keep up with all my crops and projects on my Meetup group here http://www.meetup.com/The-BeavercreekPaperCrafters/ it's FREE to join and you can come to any of the events that you wish to come to.  

Here are a few items I have been working on for the bazaars.

Altered Rolodexes and the replacement card sets















 Gift sets













Giant Paperclips
















My model for the hair accessories, Miss Hailey

Hair and Hat or Scarf accessories

Round Scarfs so that they don't fall off of you.  I love these, they are the only scarf that I can keep around my neck.

Your wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a pair of Flip Flops.

 Children's Aprons with matching REAL oven mitt.

 More aprons that I have finished.

 Hat gloves and scarf sets.

 Also in Blue

Scarf and Gloves that match.














That is just a few things you will find if you come to my table at the bazaars.  This post was much larger than I planned, sorry.

Christmas cards, anyone?

 I taught my first class last Wednesday and wanted to share some of the cards we made.  We made 2 Christmas cards and 2 Autumn cards and a Birthday card.

 This set is called St. Nick and is a set of 5 and is only $13.95.















This set is called Harvest Home and is $18.95.

 This picture I took on my cell phone and it didn't turn out that good.  The card was very nice.

 This set is called The Present  and is $22.95.  It has 10 stamps total.

 This set is Royal Birth and is $22.95.

I made several cards with this set, I think it is perfect for birthdays.

 This one I embossed the crown with clear embossing powder.

This is another variation of the St. Nick card.

 I have also been playing with the Circle of Love set that goes with the new Magnifique papers.  I love this set and the papers.

I did the emboss resist technique with the peacock and then used a sponge applicator to add ink to the areas that I wanted to have color.












I added a piece of the same paper inside and added the sentiment and feather.















Here I used a kaleidecolor multi-colored stamp pad and embossed with clear embossing powder.

 This is a 3" x 3" easel card with some added pearls on the peacocks head.  I added glitter to the feather.

This is another 3" x 3" card.

I stamped a flourish inside this one.

This month is one of my busiest months.  We have 5 birthdays in our house in October and Grandpa is out of the country.  He has been calling every day and it is nice to hear his voice.  He sent some very cute cards to the Grandkids and Dawn for their birthdays.  

We had a Dress-up tea party for the Girls and the Boys went to Lazar tag. Here are a few pics of the tea party.  We had areas for the gifts for each girl, Mary's favorite color is pink and Hailey's is Purple.

We had pink and purple table cloths for the girls and their guests.

We had fancy tea cups and saucers.

This is the nail station.  We stamped on their nails.

This was the Jewelery table with lots of clip on earrings, necklaces,  bracelets and rings.  The bigger the better.  and the shoes sat under the table.

Charlie made a frame for 4 mirrors to stand together for the girls to see what they looked like.  And yes we had hats galore.

This was the clothes rack where the girls got to pick what they wanted to wear.

We had sandwiches cut into shapes like dresses, shoes, purses and hats, along with veggies and dip, jello with rings in side and Petite Fours for dessert.

We even had a purse cake.  I used grape flavored licorice for the handle.

 Miss Hailey and Miss Mary waiting for the guests to arrive so they could eat.

Miss Hailey in Go Go Boots.  The boots were a huge hit at the party.  Everyone had to try them on.















Miss Mary loves this dress and had to try on the Cheetah print shoes.

And of course Uncle James had to try to get us to stamp on his toes too, but they were just too smelly, so we all said no.  He even put the toe separator between his toes.









I hope you enjoyed my stories and I hope to be back soon with more.

If you are interested in my classes go to  http://www.meetup.com/The-BeavercreekPaperCrafters/ and join our group, there you will get up to date information on what I will be teaching and when the next class is.

I am getting ready to vend at the BCT Bazaar again November 6th from 10-4 at the Beavercreek school.  I am also going to be a vendor at the Carus School fundraiser on November 13th.  If you want more information on either of these bazaars send me an email and I will get complete details to you.
