Halloween Countdown and a novel idea!

These were some of my favorite tags. I tried to make some 3 dimensional. I made them out of everything that I had. It really didn't take as long as I thought it would.My calender needed a witch. She was suepr easy to whip up! Easier than I thought. See her cute hair? I picked up that yarn at the dollar store. I thought that it would be perfect for halloween projects! So worth a dollar! Everyone is making rag garlands-so I made a ribbon garland. It just drapes at the bottom over the plate rack. I also had a bunch of tounge depressers just hanging around. Not too sure what I bought them for, but I know that they were a thrift store purchase.





This whole project was super easy and super cheap! It only cost me a DOLLAR! yep, I got the cookie sheet at the thrift store, and everything else I had.





I am so making a christmas one. I think that they will be great christmas presents!


I thought about making them and selling them, but I don't know if any one would want them.


What do you think?


They would make great neighbor gifts-if you really like them. They are kind of a lot of work! :)

I thought that this was the cutest Advent calender that Emily, at Bunch of scraps, made was just to cute not to copy! go look at hers-so cute!

I had to add-the witch and the little halloween sign is stuck on the cookie sheet with magnets! Slick! Plus, it will be a super easy way to store all the peices until next year! I just made a fabric packet and glued it to the back.

I also loved the paperback pumpkins. I just had to put a Tausha spin on it!

I had to make them a little cutsey. My trademark!

I found these at Meg's at Megs Musings. (I even stole her title :)

Great Idea and super easy! Takes a little time, but worth it.

Just fold the pages-just got to watch what you are doing so they are even. I got two books-one that was about 400 pages and another that was 1050-the 1050 one made a perfectly round cirlce, the other one, close but not quite.

they are both super cute, I am just a little fonder of the fat one. What can I say, I like fat things!

These got me thinking. I think that I will make a turkey out of them as well. Just wont fold in a circle. Just keep the back flat. I will post these when I get them firgured out!

I also thought that maybe I could try a santa.

I am getting a little ahead of myself-such ambition for a girl with a headache.

Hope you like my little projects. Please copy-espescially if you have kids. My girls loved it all, espescially the pumpkins. They were amazed that they turned into pumpkins!

I am going to copy another fellow blogger hopefully tomorrow.

I will give you a clue-ritz and capri sun boxes, homemade salt dough!

Wish me luck!

Great MONDAY to you all!

PS-I just stumbled across such a fantastic blog this morning! I am sure that there are some of you who already know who this is and call her friend-but she is fantastic! She isnspired me and I am so glad that I found her! So-go and check her out. Read some of her past posts-she makes you want to be a better person! Serendipity

Just a little something something!

ok-So I still have a headache. Crappy!

Here I sit just waiting for it to go away.

I thought that I would show you a cute dinner idea that we had last halloween night.

These monster tacos were so simple, my kids thought that I was the greatest mom in the whole world, and I had a little peice of mind knowing that I sent my kids out with full tummys.

I know that this post is lame, but I hope that you will forgive me!

I'm a mean old witch with a hat~!

ok-I couldn't help myself! I had to post!

Headache be DAmned!


Thanks so much for all your kind words!


I tell ya, I have good blogging friends!


I still have a headache-this is day 8!


but, the good news is..it's getting better.


Not as intense!


No MRI on my brain this time!


I was really kind of nervous about this-45 mins. of total stillness followed by a loud screaching sound!


I was thinking if I didn't have a headache when I went in to get the test, I so would when I got done!


So-good news!


Thanks again! I am hoping it is just a cluster headache-and it is has almost run it's course!


It better be almost over-I need the CHOCOLATE!





I also had to post cause everyone was having a party without me~


I decided to pull my Halloween out, just so I could be included!


No one likes to be left out-right?

I had to create a little something! It was driving me crazy! So-I made my boo banner. The letters and owl were a $1 and from Joannes! I think that it's cute. I had to jump on the banner bandwagon! Everybody COOL was doing it! This is Witchy Poo. I made her a couple of years ago. I love her legs! They always make me smile when I see her. She has a book of spells and a bag of potions in her bag of tricks!
One more thing. Taco Time (I don't know if this is a Utah thing or not) Anyway-if you have one, u must go there and get a pumpkin empanada! Holy Crap-it is pure deliciousness! They even give you a little container of whipped cream! I shouldn't have told you, now I want one!

A girl must share all of her delicious secrets-thats only fair!

A whole lot of PAIN!

I am not being a slacker and I am not being lazy-just had a blasted headache!

Dangit!
I have had this stupid headache, neckache, yelling at everyone ache since Monday afternoon.

I haven't even been on the blog at all. Just today, and I almost 2 seconds to pushing the button to off.
This is not an average headache. It's really not, promise.
It is as terrible as a migrain(at least thats what I have been told) but it's not!
Lights hurt, head throbs, neck hurts, throwing up in the kitchen sink!
Oh yea-I am having a hell of a week!
The Dr even told me to blow the medicine up my nose!
I am so done!
So-please all pray for me.
I really want to feel better! If there are those of you who suffer from cluster headaches often-I am so sorry-I really really am! Next time you have one, tell me and I will send you some m&m's and a sleep mask.
Keep it nice and dark and give you chocolate that you don't have to see to eat! :)
I am really hoping that this post makes sense! You all go and create a alot so I will have a lot to copy later! Thanks for inspiration-early!
