Festive Brooch

This week for my stampers club we made 2 projects... here is one of them. A fabric brooch that is made by overlapping 4 die cut flowers. Then we put a jumbo brad in the middle and held the magnetic clasp on with a jumbo glue dot. There are 2 magnets, and you can wear it on your blouse (see figure 3... my lovely little model!!!). These would also be cute on gift bags, or on hair bows, or on the top of a gift. Use your imagination... each one took under 5 minutes to make!!! The magnetic clasps are just from a local dollar store.

Trick-or-Treat!!

For as long as we have had kids, we have gone to just a few houses on Halloween. We don't go to strangers' houses, we just go to a few of our friends, and people that we maybe haven't seen since last Halloween (or longer), and we want to have a quick catch up. For instance, we went to our old next door neighbours', who haven't seen the kids for at least 2 years. And we went to our old Realtor's house (who became the owner of our old cat when we moved off our old farm) so we could say hi, and the kids could see their old kitty!!

Number of houses visited: 10
Amount of "loot": half a bag per child
Kilometres put on the truck: At least 50
The looks on the kids faces as people said how cute they were in
their costumes and gave them handfuls of candy.....
PRICELESS!!

Our old cat... The kids love to see how she is doing!

Somebody else's cat.... hmm... I think my kids like cats!

A very happy Dinosaur!

Christmas Card Club

Last night was the 3rd month of my Christmas Card Club. Here are the cards we made...

In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decorated some cupcakes for treats... I used the Ribbon of Hope stamp.

And we made a pink Christmas card!! This card uses 2 different hostess sets. Christmas Punch and Patterned Pines. If you would like to host a party and earn these sets, please contact me so we can set up a date!

The other card we made is a wreath out of snowflakes... this card uses the snowflakes in Snow Swirled.

Rainy Day Crafts - part 2

The kids have been crafting most of the day... they love creating things and I love seeing them get creative, and they are actually pretty good about cleaning up after themselves, so that helps when we're dealing with paint! I thought we could make some musical instruments, and these shakers came together fairly easily, and then they got to break out new paint sets to decorate them.

Rainy Day Crafts

Today it is wet outside... wet wet wet! So, we are making it an indoor day... first craft of the day - a paper pumpkin by Scott. Stay tuned for more papercrafting with the kids :)
