Post-it-Notes

Happy Monday! How is everyone today? Are you getting adjusted to the time change? It's funny because we are painting our kitchen  and dinning room (yes we are still remodeling) and we removed our lighting, so we are eating dinner with candle light since the time changed. I can't image how life was before electricity. Sorry ladies but it's not as romantic as they say it is when you have to do it every night....(laughing)  Today I am sharing some "Post-it-Note" holders. These were from mychicnscratch.com 12 days of Halloween.

When I saw these I thought they would be cute as a
Halloween candy holder. I started with Halloween
paper but never made it back into my craft room to finish.

Have a great fall week!

Fall Baby Shower

Happy Monday! Is it Fall yet or still summer? The weather in Albuquerque has been so beautiful and warm. My trees are not sure if they should be changing colors or stay green....LOL Today I'm sharing some items I made for my sisters baby shower. She wanted couples "Fall" shower in her back yard. We had the shower the first week of  October with 85 guest. We were so busy making food, decorating, entertaining that I didn't take any pictures of the actual shower.  Boo Hoo.(sad face)

I took Mason jars and wrapped burlap
around them. Added dried raffia and flowers.
Fall flowers were added to these jars for the tables.
 

These mason jars were the lighting for
the tables. I added pop corn inside and put
battery operated lighting. 

Jovonna didn't want any of the (old fashion) games
you play at a baby shower. So we did the "Write
a Message on the Diaper" I found this saying on
Pinterest and thought is was cute. 

These are the props for the Baby Photo booth. I order
some of these on line and others I made.  

I decorated these baskets with a scarecrow family.
We added snack foods for the guest. 

This cake was for Jovonna.

This cake was for Mike.

My Dad carved these pumpkins. The baby pumpkins
says "baby noodles". That's the nickname for the baby. 

This is the photo booth. I made the "Baby Love"
banner and added the burlap  on top of white curtains.

Since it was outside and we were not sure if it was
going to rain we added a cover over the booth.

Hope you have a super great day. Thanks for letting me share.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. Are you going trick-or-treating tonight or staying home and handing out candy? We will be handing out candy. I love to see the kids and all their cute costumes. I was able to make a few Halloween candy holders for my ghost and goblins.   

Hershey's Chocolate mummy bars.

Using framelits, I  cut pockets with Halloween
pattern paper and added Halloween tags.

 Have a super fun Halloween. Be safe out there. 

Birthday Card

 Happy Monday! Do you have a pile of cards you started but didn't quite finish? Maybe you needed the right color flower, bling or it just wasn't what you thought it should be. This card was one of those. I started this card months ago. I just loved the feather and glitter on this paper but I just couldn't find the right embellishments for it. Needing a birthday card at the last minute I went though my unfinished box of cards (yes I have a box of unfinished cards) and pulled this one out. I added the flower and Happy Birthday and called it done.  Quick and easy. Months ago I am sure I spent hours trying to find the right embellishments. (laughing)

The colors and glitter in this paper is amazing.
Wish this picture showed the beauty in the colors.

Wishing you a wonderful Fall week!

The world is a colorful place!

Happy Wednesday! How is everyone doing? It's been a while since I've posted anything. Life has been busy. If you remember we are remodeling our house. We were ready to start our down stairs and the stucco. While prepping for the stucco we discovered we needed a new roof. (UGH!) Moving forward a month we now have a new roof and new stucco. ( we had to fire the first stucco guy, that was a mess!!) So now we can start our down stairs with hopes it will be done by the end of the year. 

 I have done very little crafting (sad face). The card I am sharing today was done with my neighbor Heather about three weeks ago. She stopped by one night with the card cuttings and it's just what I needed. 

The tree and leaves are a die cut. 

I love the die cuts with the stitched edges.  I've added
it to my wish list....(laughing)

Thank you for stopping by each week even when I was MIA!!  Have a super great day! God Bless!
