Wish you were here crafting

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

Hope everyone is doing well. As for me I have a cold

and I know that if I slow down any it will grab a hold

and send me for a loop.

Pumpkins repurposed

Hello Everyone, I know that it has been some time since

I posted on my blog. Life really got in the way this time.

My uncle Robert was pretty bad off for about three weeks

and I tried to be there as often as I could to help. My uncle

passed away and at about the very same time I had to put

my dad in the hospital. It got very crazy for my family. I

tried to craft inbetween everything just to try and stop from

going insane. My dad was operated on and is doing well

now. He got out of the hospital just in time for his brothers

funeral.

 Just when I thought that things could not get any

worse someone decided to help themselves to some of our

things. I know that it's just material things but some of them

had so much meaning. The tools that my son had inherited

from his grandfather. The tools that my son and father-in-law

had used together building a shop and working on antique

cars and the Harley's. The chainsaw that he had left my

husband which was used every year for many years to get

our firewood for the winter. What makes it worse for me

is that in all the years that I lived in a big city nothing was

ever stolen from us, but living here in my hometown that

is the second time in my life. I was about 15 years old when

someone broke into our home.Here I am back and it has

happened again. All I can say is that the person who did it

better hope we never find out it was them.

Well as you can see from my photos of my pumpkins that

were made out of plastic containers, orange paint, vinyl

and the October 31st cartridge. The faces really tell my

story of how I'm feeling. Until my next post Hope you all

having a better time than I am.

Until my next post Have A Great Day!!!!!!!

Froggy Treat Bag

Good afternoon everyone!!!!

I'm so sorry that I have been

MIA again and now posting late in the day. I just start

to get around to posting every day when life jumps out

and grabs me by the hand. I have been trying to spend

some time visiting my uncle since it's looking like he

is getting close to leaving us here on earth.I try and stop

by every chance I get. On top of that our water heater

went out and  that took up some time cleaning up

the mess from that. So in my header picture is a treat

bag that I made for my uncles grandson who turned 

seven today. I thought that he needed a little bit more

cheering up because he is dealing with knowing that his

grandpa won't be around much longer. 

 I made the frogs using my cricut and the Mini Monsters

cartridge. I the used cardstock to stamp celebrate on and

used it to staple the goody bag closed.I made it so the

kids could take the frog off and be able to stick it on any

other surface. I hope they enjoyed them. Until my next

post Have A Splendid Evening!!!!!!!!!

Lets talk Tuesdays 10/2

Good Morning Everyone. Hope your tuesday is turning

out to be a good day. For me it will be a busy day. I have

bills to get paid and groceries to buy etc. etc. In my

header picture is another great buy that I found at the

Tuesday Morning Store. This stamp set is called  Rock

Star and cost $2.99. In the picture below is the stamp

set named Twist N' Shout

This one also cost $2.99. The next picture is the stamp

set called Vintage Keys and that one cost $1.99.

Sorry about the picture. I tried several times to get a

good picture and it was just not happening. Isn't it

amazing that there are places where you can find

crafting supplies for a fraction of the cost of what

they would be from one of those craft supplies stores

Hope you can get out there a find a bargin. Until my

next post. Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!
