Day 5 of the 13 Days of Halloween Giveaway

Ok, so not my best photo I know, but this was so much fun learning how to do. It started out as wood blocks. Then I put the scrapbook paper on top with glue and cut around it. Then I modpodged it on the top and sides to secure it. Then I used Diamond Glaze on the top of it. Last I glued the pendant charm thing on the top back of it. It was so much fun to learn how to do. You can do it with pictures too. I did one of Laci and it was super cute!



TTFN,

Day 11 of the 13 Days of Halloween

So Day 11 was the most special, not only because I took so much time to make it, but I know that she wanted to put this together and I hope I helped jump start the process.

So my swap partner has a site off of her blog called 101 things she wants to do in 1001 days. #36 said she wanted to put together a family cookbook.

Well with that in mind I started working and I came up with a really cute three ring masterpiece. I loved it and wish I could make the time to make one for myself. Below are some pictures and the others are all on my flicker page. What do you think?

Tomorrow I will be back with a couple of the other days I didn't post pictures of and maybe some office photos of the Halloween Costume Contest.

TTFN,

"Sense"-ational Tuesday also known to me as Take the Time Tuesday (Wednesday this week)

"Sense"-ational Sundays came from Emily Adams an old co-worker who used to blog her senses every week. She always started with this... "Our senses tell a story. I've committed to recording my 5 senses for the past week - every week - as an exercise to explore my sensory world. I challenge you to do the same. If you choose to do so, just blog your 5 senses every Sunday (or Tuesday [This week delayed to Wednesday]for those of us who are a little lazy on Sunday); let me know - I'd love to read along!" I find that it is a great way to share with my family and friends some of the highlight of things that I have done during the week that mean the most to me.

See:
This week while sick I completed the 121 blocks for my denim rag quilt. I love looking at the massive stack and feeling so accomplished for what I have already done. I appliquéd hearts on 60 of them and did a star design on the other 60 and then on the middle square did the home is where the heart is design. I can’t wait until I have class this Saturday to start putting this thing together.



Hear:
Tons of kids running around the party, and “Why don’t you decorate cookies.” As you can see from Laci’s lip she did as much eating as she did decorating.


Touch:
Laci just loved the dog at the party we went to on Sunday. We had such a great time and as you can see, she was so happy to play with Tigger the schnauzer.

Taste:
Laci had her first pop up ice cream this week. You can see from her expression it was cold. Ok, so I know I am dating myself, but do you remember when these used to be Flinstones pops? They aren’t anymore or not where we got this one. I was kind of sad. I always liked seeing Fred on the side. Ok, I am so totally over that and can’t believe I just actually said this.

Smell:
The weekend before we got sick we went to Owen’s farm for the pumpkin patch. We smelled the animals (yucky), but as you can see I got a good picture of Laci with the animals and with the scarecrow set up they had. It was so much fun, and let me tell you… the seeds that the hubby made from the big pumpkin we got were so good they were gone before I could take a picture!



Tomorrow I will upload more images from the 13 Days of Halloween Swap of the things I sent, I can't wait to post day 11's item that I made. It was made with a lot of TLC!

TTFN~
