Happy Halloween!!!

Oh me oh my! Halloween is here!

The last couple of weeks for me have been ABSOLUTELY Crazy!  Trying to get costumes ready, assignments completed and just the everyday life of a family of 5.   So we had some fun and some tears...but it is all good now.

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids in their costumes.
First is Drew... he is a ninja!  He couldn't wear a mask

 Sammie is Jewel ( the girl bird from Rio)

 And Caroline was "tangled"  She had a wig but she did not want to put it back on.  I will try and get another picture of her with the wig on...so funny!

Here are the kids not wanting to take pictures for mom... I love how their expressions are telling me... "Hurry up mom... I wanna go to the carnival"  Okay, I get a hint.

Here are some Halloween layouts I made:

Products used: Teresa Collins Designs - Haunted Hallows Collection,
Therm O Web: Sticky Tape Runner,  3D Zots, Super Tape, Bling/Tiny Zots, and
Flowers from iamroses.com

Cards and Tags:

Products used: Teresa Collins Designs - Hunted Hallows Collection,
Therm O Web: Sticky Tape Runner, Zots, and

Hope you have a safe a fun Halloween!  Off to help out with the school and more Halloween Parties for the kids.

My projects made it on Good Things Utah

Yesterday, Teresa Collins was on Good Things Utah and my projects made it on air!!!! Here are some pictures:

Garland made with Haunted Hallows Collection
Photo credit: Teresa Collins

I made the Garland by punching out the pattern paper 6 times and grouped them together to create a "ball".  Once I punched out all the "balls" I lined them up and just stitched down the middle with my sewing machine.  Then I would pull the thread long between stitching the next group through the machine.   Once I completed stitching the balls together I took two gems and used a Large Zots by Therm O Web to attach the gems together and onto the thread.

Drew - Special Week Project

This past week Drew was the student of the week at school. One of his assignments is to make a poster. So I printed some pictures and cut out letters to spell out his name and he was off creating his poster.

He was raiding my scrapbook room asking if he could use the Teresa Collins On the Edge paper and his favorite adhesive the Therm O Web Sticky Strip Runner.  After he finished he told me "See Mom, I can Scrapbook like you."

I was so proud of him and he did it all on his own!!!  We have the poster back now and it is proudly displayed in his room.

I am so proud of my boy!! Have a great week and let your children create along with you and don't be afraid to let them raid your scrapbook room.

Just another Wednesday!

Today was just a normal day like every morning. 

Wake up get the kids dressed and sent to school. 

Work on computer stuff and clean up the house till it is time to go pick up the littlest one from pre-school. 

Then we come home, have lunch, work on the computer more and play with the little one. 

THEN I GOT TO TAKE A NAP TODAY!!! 

 It was the perfect sleeping weather. Gray sky, rain and it started to get cooler.

 Then I had to get up and get the other two from school, and Drew had a playdate come over. 

I cooked dinner, worked with the kids with homework, got to catch up on some of my shows. 

I also even go to talk to some adults today. WOW. 

 The kids are in bed and I am beat. 

 Normally I start working again till about 1 in the morning. 

 But I think I will pass tonight. 

 Tomorrow I help teach art class for Sammie's class. 

Then off to meetings and then I have to go pick up the little one then pick up the other two from school. Then Soccer practice (if it is not raining.) then homework and dinner then BED. 

Really... when does anyone find time to craft anymore? But I have been crafting! 

Did you see this on Teresa Collins Blog? If not go check out what I did with Carolina Breeze. HERE

More to come!  I promise! 

My parents are safely back home and now life is calm.  I don't have to worry if they made it home safe.  They did.  Oh do I already miss them.  I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend with my family. I am also grateful for the time they were able to spend with the kids.  My kids love thier LOLO and LOLA!

I was so happy to get this picture of the kids with my parents before we headed to the airport.  Quality time with the grandparents = PRICELESS. 

So back to a somewhat normal routine.  It is amazing what I can get done at home when no one is around.  I am starting to find my groove.  Have an amazing day!
