Wicked

So I found this Paper Mache Witch Hat at Pat Catan's Craft Center today and decided... Well I am a crafter after all and it was just so darn tempting... and it was calling my name and I just had to have it.... Ok I didn't really but as soon as I saw it my mind started racing and my mouth started to salivate... Ok.. Not really but you ladies know exactly what happens when you see something that is just screaming to be altered.  It demanded to go home with me.. Mind you now I went in there with the sole purpose of buying adhesive squares so I could finish Arianna's birthday card. I walked out with this beauty and some paper as well as embellishments and what nots and of course I couldn't work on Arianna's birthday card at all because this thing was just shrieking at me.  I mean it was so loud and ear piercing that there was nothing else I could do but obey it's call.... I'm not proud of myself for ignoring my grand daughter's card, but I just could not help it.

Thank you for stopping by... Hope to see you again soon!

Brightest Blessings.

 

Halloween Tag Challenge at The Crafty Corner on Facebook

 

I created this tag for the Weekly Challenge # 8 on the Crafty Corners Facebook Page.  Anything Fall and Halloween gives me more than enough inspiration to create.  Something I have been in short supply of, of late.  Add in a little Disney Music on Pandora and I am doing an awesome job of creating today.

Creative Rut

There are times when the thought of going to my scraproom to work on cards, gifts, or blog hop projects terrifies me.  It's those times that I have no creative spark... Right now I am going through that and I can't afford to.. I have birthday cards, blog hop projects, and even home décor projects for myself that I want to get done... So.. tomorrow after I do my early morning shopping which I have every intention of doing, I am headed up to my creative space and spend the day there trying to get something accomplished....

Blog Hop Day Two

Beautiful Summer Blog Hopping today!  It's hard to imagine that for Ohioans the summer is almost over.. School starts in less then a month then it is Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then the big one... Christmas... But since it is still summer here I thought I would celebrate with all the lovely ladies who have put a lot of time and creativity into what they think Summer is. You should have come here by way of Patti if not then please start at the beginning with Lisa... You don't want to miss all of the gorgeous creations these ladies have done.

Here is my project for Day one of the hop... To me... Summer is Butterflies, Flowers, Gardening, and the scampering of little critters from tree to tree.  Hope you enjoy.
