Welcome to the pumpkin patch

To celebrate the end of the month I made little pumpkin patches for a few of the people at school, they turned out pretty cute.

Everyone really like them. The surprise is in the back...

Have a happy and safe Saturday. I'll talk to you again soon.

Desktop Birthday Party

My friend had a birthday this week so I threw her a desktop birthday party.  She loves purple (yes just like me) so that was the theme, "purple".  She also likes minitures hence the "miniture" chocolate cake.

We have only worked together for about a year and a half but she is a sweetheart and I hope her birthday was great!  I made her a shades of purple birdhouse with frames on it so it can also be used for some of her favorite photos.

I used a small wooden birdhouse and modge podged it with a variety of purple papers.

It originally had a rope hanger coming out of the top but I removed that and used it to hold flowers and a ribbon.

I used my Cricut and cut several chipboard frames and then stacked them so you could slide pictures in and out of them.  Painted them purple and covered them with glitter, very sparkly.





Have a great Friday and I'll talk to you again soon.

New Mexico Style snow storm

Around here we don't get much snow so when it happens it can be an event, people get sent home early or school gets cancelled.  The nice thing about NM snow, it's usually gone in a few hours.  I took this picture this afternoon from the driveway.  An hour later... gone.

Hope your week has been good so far.  Welcome Friday!  Have a great evening and I'll talk to you again soon.

Birthday card for the box

Finished another birthday card for giving at school  I need three more to finish the month of October!  Lots of people born in October on our staff.

I'm working on a costume to wear at a stamp expo next weekend and a friend's birthday is coming up so I've got some picture to share from those projects too.  Hopefully, I'll have time to post again later this weekend.  Have a great one and I'll talk to you again soon.

Homemade award ribbons

I host a pumpkin decorating contest at school and I always make the award ribbons.  Here is this years batch.  Three winners per grade level.

I think they turned out pretty good.  Happy Friday!!! I'll talk to you again soon.

Fall colors

We had a temperature change this weekend and when I got ready to leave the house yesterday this is the sight that caught my eye.  Beautiful fall colors right in front of me. 

Have a great Thursday.  I'll talk to you again soon!

Some challenge cards

We have a stamp expo coming to town at the end of the month and the challenge for the cards were baby boy card with no blue and baby girl card with no pink. I had to work at it a little but here they are:


For Baby boy I used Cranberry and black

For Baby Girl I used Creme Brule, Olive and Chocolate.

We'll see how they do in the competition. Thanks for stopping in, I'll talk to you soon.
