Happy Halloween - I'm baaaak...

Hello - it's been awhile since my last post...and for those of you who know me...you know that I've been dealing with some issues at home... So basically - I didn't have the time to spend de-stressing with my "crafts"... Instead - I've been just STRESSING (straight up...) Anyhow - I decided I'd do some crafting and some cooking (coz the stress in my life will still be there tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and so forth) - so below are some photos of what I've been up to.

Made Potato Chip Mix - (courtesy of a recipe from JEnn - thanks girl)

Yes... I know in my last last post - I "claimed" that I wouldn't make any more goodie bags for my son's elementary classes...well.. I LIED!!! (ha ha ha)... these are just "snacks" that are in a "bag"....

OFCOURSE I made EXTRA for my "peeps" at work. (my "other" children I should say... ha ha ha) Hope they like it.

Made 1 craft - a pumpkin basket out of my Pillow Die template. The mouth is all messy - I couldn't "hide" the glue (as u can clearly tell..) - but I like how it looked like it had teeth! Anyhow This goody bag was for my neice Bella - hope she likes it. (I hope her mom doesn't get too mad that I put some SUGARY, bad stuff in there for her to chow down on...well it's Halloween after all!!!)

OKAY - I feel a LITTLE better now that I got to do some crafty stuff.... I swear I'll go "bonkers" if I don't.. Hopefully it doesn't take me 2 months again for my next post... I have all these IDEAS just brewing in my mind...                                                                                HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!..

Baby Shower Gift

Made a 3 drawer Card Box for a baby shower.

I enclosed some baby gifts in each drawer.

Made a little personalized keychain with her baby's name on it. I hope she liked it.

           Hope she enjoys mother hood

Gift Bags & Boxes

I'm always looking for "new" ways to wrap my gifts to friends. Here are some ideas below

It's a little bigger than a brown lunch bag - but same concept

I had FUN making these.. he he he... I believe they are "Domo" like inspired....

Birthday, Graduation, Sympathy Cards

It's been a busy August. Do you realize I  know of  7 people celebrating their birthday just the 1st week of August alone? (3 friends, my mother & sister-in-law and 2 aunties!!!) Anyhow the CREATIVE bug hit me and decided I wanted to make these JOY FOLD Cards. 

For Susan - she likes "mice"

For Sharla - when her hair is long - it kinda looks like this.

For Delz - she kinda looks like this - he he he

2 Highschool Graduation Parties I was fortunate to get invited to. Below are the cards.

PAST Goody Bags for Ian's Class

This was a past easter goody bag for Ian's Class

Close up - each packed with a pack of easter egg gums & sugar straws

This was a goody bag - milk carton for Ian's class  last Christmas.

Close up of it.

Yes there were MANY, MANY more goody bags that I made for Ian's class... this are just a few I didn't get to post yet. Come next school year... no MORE goody bags... he's going to be 4th grade ... so he's getting too OLD for the goody bags... Hmm... but when his birthday roles in 11/22 - I think I might make goody bags...(I can't resist... it's his birthday... we need to celebrate it!)...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD - IRENE

Got a chance to make a card for Irene - she's RECUPERATING from her surgery at home...it's been a month already.  We all miss her at work. Trying to get everyone to sign the card....
