Adding another hobby to my list :)

FYI (update as of 12:56....my SIL in actually having her baby today!!!! Little bit crazy and in somewhat of a panic. Don't quite know what's happening with the shower?! Anyway, hope to have a super adorable pic up tomorrow of the little guy with his most favorite aunt!)


Hey everyone! So this is a bit of a teaser post.....how dare I? As you all know I am desperately trying to finish things up for a baby shower on Saturday, but I can't show you what I'm doing until after for fear that my SIL will look at this blog and see what's in store.
I just wanted to let you know that I have two super adorable Halloween crafts to show you once I finish (I'm about 3/4 of the way done) and also that (are you ready for this)
dun dun dun.......drum roll please.....

I finished my first ever sewing project!
(this is major news people)

Those of you may know that I don't sew. I never wanted to learn how, was to scared to attempt it and don't have that patience for it. However, I have the best mom in the world that was so patient with me and taught me what to do. THANKS MOM. And now I think I'm gonna dig this sewing thing! I do have my own machine now after all. Yes I do. But that machine scares the crap out of me :) And I wish I could show you my super cute thing that I made, but again, it's a gift for the shower, so on Monday everyone.

Have a fabulous Thursday!

Something From Cassie made these Oh So Cute! spider suckers! Adorable!!!



How classy and pretty are these books! Head on over to Murphy's Law to see the technique used to cover them....beautiful!

I have a crazy, crazy week ahead and I am also helping my mom plan my sil's baby shower on Saturday and can't wait to show you the shower ideas.

Halloween Bag Toppers

WOW! What a linky party that was! Thank you to everyone that linked up your ideas. Can't wait to feature some of you on Friday.

Kim over at Seven Thirty Three has a wonderful blog (and has been featured here before) well....she has created these super cute Halloween bag toppers and is kind enough to share with blogland! What a woman! So head on over here to print out these for yourself and make sure to leave Kim a comment thanking her!

Ahhhhh.....Adorable!

Letting the creative juices flow...LINKY PARTY!

Let's start off with some creative ideas from last week's linky party...

Such clever and cute cupcakes! I SOOO wish my kids were into Cookie Monster so I could give these a go because they are adorable! Mommy Creations made these for a playdate. Head on over and check out some more pics...

I am digging this fun Halloween wreath, so much so that I have all the stuff to give it a go myself...when that will happen is the question. Go here to Outspoken Interiors to check out more pics...

This is such a great idea to get the kids in on....I love it! Head over to Greenbean's Crafterole to see how she did them.

So I'm realizing the Halloweenish theme and I apologize....I just am so excited for it! Can't wait to see what you all have up your sleeve this week...and I know I say it a lot....thank you for your support of my scatterbrained, few and far between posts, blog.

Also a quick shout out to my little brother (who's not so little)
Happy Birthday Adam!!

A project from the past

I am pulling out a project of the past...

I have a love/hate relationship with Styrofoam pumpkins. I hate they way they look before you get your hands on one and then I love to transform the crud out of it!
And that's just what I did. A can of golden spray paint, leaves and green wire and some pretty fall ribbon...

Ahhhhh......SOOOOO much better!

New project in the works...

Oh happy day that fall is just around the corner, along with my favorite holiday
hAlloWEeN!
Is it crazy that I have already started in with the Halloween decor?
It is....isn't it.
Oh well....below is a combo of things I am using for my next project for tomorrow...which I will post along with my linky party on Tuesday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I am looking forward to the cool weather, planting some pansies, shrubs, finishing my twig project and grillin some steaks!
