I'm back!!!




I feel so bad that I've been neglecting my blog but life has just been crazy!!!
I can't keep up with it all.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween :) we had good time. Dressed the kids up & went to the downtown trick or treating. Tons of stores along the main street in town decorate & trick or treat. Then we went to a big neighborhood close to us & walked house to house trick or treating. Both of my son't had a friend come with us so we had lots of kids in tow. Very fun night. Too much sugar & lots of smiles!

I've made tons of cards over the last couple weeks both for ebay & trading. I also participated in the Halloween-a-thon on illustratedatcs.com We had a marathon of card making & trading for three days all on the Halloween theme. That was the first one I have done so it was a lot of fun. I can't wait for the next one. It's going to be like Christmas at my mailbox next week when all of my returns start showing up! I can't wait!

Last week I taught a mini scrapbook make & take at Life's A Scrapbook in Sherwood Oregon. It was for their customer appreciation open house event they do each year. There were 9 vendors doing different projects & the food & treats were amazing! I had a great time doing it but I crashed when I got home. I had a full week before then putting all of my kits together.

I also entered a handmade greeting card in Life's A Scrapbook card contest. I really hope I win. I want that gift certificate & go shopping! LOL Next time I'm in the store I will take a photo of it & post for you to see. I think it turned out really cute if I do say so myself :)

There are too many cards to show you here so I put together a video of what I made for Halloween. It's now posted on youtube so check it out!

Right now I'm busy making new cards & creating Holiday greeting cards for ebay. I have the first small batch finished & I'm hoping to get them posted tomorrow eve.

Thinking about hosting a winter theme swap. What do you guys think? My last two swaps fell through because everyone was so busy during back to school. Is it a bad time because of the Christmas Holiday? I'm open to suggestions so please comment & let me know what you think!
