I feel like a washrag

The "I feel like a washrag" came from my mother and I when we try to explain that feeling of tiredness, laziness, headachiness the just plain blah's, but times ten. That's the "washrag" feeling.
And that's what I'm feeling right this moment (actually all day really)....so sorry, no post for today, but I will be back later with the linky party....ummm let's say 9:ooish!

Halloween printables from me to you

While in bed last night watching Grey's Anatomy {LOVE} I made up some Halloween pictures for you lovely people that care to check out my blog....just right click and save and print these babies up! Place them in frames around your house for instant Halloween decor....and it's free! Gotta love that. I so wanted to post pics of mine all framed, but my camera battery just died....uuurrgghhh! Have a great night!

Elements for these designs found here :)

Hope you enjoy!

Letting the creative juices flow...LINKY PARTY!

Hello everyone! Hope your Tuesday morning is going better than mine :(
You know, the whole running extremely late, not feeling that great, kids complaining about not getting enough sleep even though they were put to bed at 8:30, but decided to goof off until 10:30...that kind of morning. Sheesh.
Anyway,
Let's get to the party people!

Here's the rules...

* Link to your specific post, not the main page of your blog.

* Include the name of your blog and a short description of what your linking up.

* Grab the button so everyone can come party and get in on the fun (it's the nice thing to do).

* Please no links to Etsy shops or online stores.

* And last, but certainly not least, it always feels good to see that others enjoy your stuff, so please leave a comment with the two people who posted before you :)

Loopy Halloween Wreath

I wanted to make a Halloween Wreath pretty bad and spent some time looking around to get some ideas, when suddenly I saw just what I wanted to do. Head on over here to Outspoken Interiors. See what wreath inspired me.
I had SO much fun making this, but I have to admit....it took up some time that's for sure!

Cut out tons TONS of stripes of adorable Halloween paper and tape them at the seam.


Then using another pieces of tape, tape it down onto your straw wreath (with the plastic still on)


For the flowers, cut out three circle ranging in size and tear then ink the edges.
Who doesn't love to ink things?! I ink EVERYTHING!


I did a jute rosette for my flower center.
Do you call it jute or twine....is it the same thing? I just don't know.
I guess I'll call it juwine...lol. Forgive me...I'm tired :)


For my spider I used different sized Styrofoam ornaments from Hobby lobby and just painted them a metallic purple. The legs are sticks painted a sparkly black and it dangles with juwine :)!

I love the way it turned out....even if it took me FOREVER!
Linking up to these fabulous parties!

Aunt Beckie

Me and my adorable "no name yet" nephew! I'm a Aunt for the second time......yippie!
It's amazing the love you feel for someone you've only know for an hour :)
Makes me ever so slightly baby hungry.
That is until my kids get home at 3:30 from school...lol (just kidding)
