Happy Halloween

Despite the rainy weather, the girls managed to get some trick-or-treating in. They were a little soaked, but they are kids and enjoyed every minute of the thrill. Rachel went with Aunt Aly and Madyson to the Down Town Alliance Trick or Treat. Becca waited at home with mom, helping me to get cookies made and projects completed.

Rachel was a Beautiful Butterfly and Becca was a Candy-corn Queen(an idea all her own). They both looked cute and warm!





This year the boys weren't really into the Halloween thing. They didn't carve pumpkins and I didn't allow them to trick or treat. Don set up the movie projector in the garage and the boys and their friends wandered in and out while drinking homemade rootbeer and eating pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. We had How to Train Your Dragon going on the big screen, which attracted lots of little trick-or-treaters.


All in all it was a good Halloween!

Super Craft Weekend

A few weeks ago, my sisters, my mom and I decided to have our own "Super Saturday." With craft ideas planned and supplies purchased, we gathered at Aly's house to craft the day away. We had a blast and despite all the interuptions from the kids and every day life, we actually accomplished most of our projects.

Our biggest conquest was learning to cut vinyl with the Cricut, which took us 2 hours to figure out, but we finally succeeded. The end result was these darling projects. The first 3 we "lifted" from my cousin's website which you can find a link on my blog and the last one was taken from Poppyseed Projects, which can be found at www.poppyseedprojects.com. The "BOO" and pumpkins are just made from left over 2x4's, cut and painted. The "BOO" was cut from vinyl and modge podged on, but you could use just regular cardstock.




It always fun together with great people and create new things and share ideas. Thanks for a great day girls!
