WELL, ISN'T IT ALL ABOUT THE SHOES ANYWAY?

Ever since I saw the cutest ever witches shoes on the Crafty Sister's blog I just knew I HAD to make some.

Here is the original inspiration

Here is my version below.

So that is how I spent my rainy Saturday afternoon, making me some cutsie shoes too.  Thanks Nicole and Candace, your projects always ROCK!!!

INSPIRED BY POPPIES AT PLAY

I was recently inspired by Andy over at Poppies At Play when she posted her Halloween blocks.  She offers a download so that you can make a set like hers, which is pretty darn cute.  I had some blocks of wood in different sizes than her download would fit on so I just used what I had on hand for my own version.

Here is Andy's original set:

Here is my version:

I may still download her printable and make a set like hers.  I just love it when someone creates such cuteness that I can then copy be inspired by.

I've Been Playing Around

With my Silhouette, that is.  They have such cute images.  Here I used five different Halloween images and put together this fun Halloween picture.

You do know that Halloween will be here before we know it 'cause summer just flew by and it is September already.  I need to get my fall decorations out but can't quite let go of summer yet.  So for now I will settle for this little reminder.

Boo Blocks

I have been so busy making things for  the craft bazaar next month that I have neglected making many things for my own Halloween decorations.

There are sooooo many cute scrapbook papers out there that it was hard to decide on just these three.

I actually cut the letters with my new Silhouette and glued them in place, added some ribbon and some bling.  Very simple, (that is how I like things, SIMPLE)

Thrift Store Plates to Halloween Decor

I found two of these white plates with the black checkered edges at a thrift store some time last summer thinking I could find something to do with them.  I was inspired to cut out some vinyl and make some Halloween decorations out of them.

Because the plate holder had spaces for three plates I took a smaller plate and added some vinyl bats to accompany the larger plates.

Here is a close up of the two larger plates.

If you are interested in cutting out your own vinyl with your Silhouette the font/dingbat I used was called DB Vintage Halloween.  You can download this font for free here.http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font/db-vintage-halloween.htm

MY SUPER TALENTED FRIEND

My sweet friend Christine is such a talented lady. She has four young boys at home and still finds time to make the cutest crafts. Last year she made these "Too Cute For Words" witches hats and sold them at a fall bazaar. I couldn't let this opportunity pass without showcasing these adorable halloween decorations.Don't you just love the polkadots on this oneThe spanish moss and muslin ribbon makes this one scream with cuteness.Bats and a banner were a couple of other items she made. Didn't I tell you she was talented.
The good news for me is that she is going to be helping me with my bazaar this year. Can I just tell ya...so happy (doing a little happy dance here).

Isn't she just the cutest! Even more than that, she is amazing and sweet and kind and nice and spiritual and creative...oh you get the point. AMAZING, SHE IS.
