Halloween

I made this for Leslie.  It is a very late birthday present and a reminder of a special afternoon at Wicked.  I used a variety of papers that I already had and began embellishing.  I really love the way it turned out and I especially am happy that she loves it so much!

I made 2 of these witch's boots for my sisters, Cyndi and Gayla for their birthdays.  I painted the wood black and covered it with paper from My Minds Eye. You can't really tell but the black part of the paper is flocked.  I absolutely love glitter so I used black, green, purple and orange.  I spray painted the bells and added jute laces.  Finally, glued some tulle on the top!  Happy Halloween!

Halloween Cookies

I am changing up my blog and will now document my daily life in addition to my scrapbook pages. Several years ago, I began inviting girls over to decorate sugar cookies. This started with the Kennedy first and then Hannah. Last year, Hannah wanted to include her best friend Delaney and the invitation then was offered to her sisters, Carli, Jaycie, and Shanlie. Hannah has now moved away but I love these girls and wanted the tradition to continue. Last night Jaycie, Shanli, and Delaney were helped by McKenna.

I provided pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, orange frosting and the sprinkles. They decorated to their little hearts content and I enjoyed their lively conversations.

By the end of the evening, they each had decorated cookies, themselves, and the sprinkles were all over the dining room. The girls then moved on to dressing up in Mollie's high heel shoes. I loved every minute of last night!!!
