Zombie Cupcakes and Halloween

My li'l guy wanted so badly to be a puppy for Halloween. My mom was so nice to fix this old costume that Jakob and Aaron wore years ago.

We had a preschool party to attend and luckily Travis was home to decorate some awesome zombie cupcakes. I think they turned out pretty great and they're yummy too.

 

Here's my pound puppy and his best friend the cheetah!

There are some pretty sweet images in this set that you won't want to pass up.

Do you think our little worm friend has been naughty or nice behind that stack of books? :) 

I used my MME washi tape to wrap the edges of my book mark and the stack on the card. I like the nice, finished edge it gives.

I made a matching card and book mark for a friend in my book club. Yes, I know most everything is digital nowadays but I still love making book marks :)

The sentiments are some of my most favorite ever. How perfect is "You've wormed your way into my heart"?!?!? WOW!

This sweet couple was a match made in print.

Pumpkin Pals Scrapbook Steals Coral #4

While going through pictures I came across this sweet one of Tess and her bestie, Rachel, at the pumpkin patch. I used my Sassafras kit I just picked up from the warehouse last weekend during the retreat. I know people say they have a hard time working with their papers but I adore them.

 

Happy to have a brand new Signo white gel pen to write with! No skipping. I love them.

Now, if anyone can tell me where to find Mr. Huey's in white I'd be in heaven because my homemade concoction just isn't doing the trick. I had to fill in most of these droplets with my pen.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Kids get today off for fall break and we're pounding T-posts to fence in our property.
Stay crafty my friends.

Life and Lunch

I try to send my kiddos to school with healthful lunches. Homemade items or fun little cheese shapes...I don't want them to get bored of getting a "sack" lunch. I sent hummus with pita chips yesterday as a side and my kids came home complaining that all of their classmates were "grossed out"...told them it "looked disgusting" and all kinds of other negative comments. I feel bad for my kids being made fun of but I feel even worse for the kids that are missing out on great food!
My second grader did say that a few of his classmates tried it and said "yum". I guess beyond second grade you get less adventurous.

Maybe I'll send them with home made sushi next week! Hah

Chevron Banner- Who doesn't love that?

My friend Charity let us know that Practical Scrappers was doing a feature on banners and garlands.
I became the proud owner of some new Studio Calico Mr. Huey's at the Scrapbook Steals retreat and went to town on this card. It's really a hodge podge of MME elements and washi with spray ink ;)
Hope you're all well. I need to get back into the swing of things and
don't worry.
I did not forget about the winner of my Sweet Stamp Shop give away.
Will be posting soon.
Hugs.
