Halloween Sunday

Yesterday was my little great niece ( Grey's)  2nd birthday............my niece had a party for her so we went over to celebrate.  Isn't she a little cutie.  She was a kitty-kat!

This picture is so cute..........  I was telling her to pose in front of her new little china hutch......I said put your hand on your hip and she didn't quite know what to do with the other hand so I snapped this.  This little china hutch really isn't new.  It was mine and my two sisters when we were growing up.  We had the cutest little doll house outside and this was one of the pieces my mom has held onto. My mom painted it to match Grey's bedroom and I gave her the little apron with her name monogramed on it. 

This was our little Halloween Pumpkin 2 years ago!  They sure do grow up fast............

 

Hope you all are having a great HALLOWEEN  Sunday!  It is beautiful in Oklahoma today.  Wishing it would stay this nice forever!

Glitter Market

 

 

Some of you have wondered what I do with all of the things I make?  Well, I usually have Christmas Open House in my home, every other year and sell my goodies.  This is my year off and I  have all these goodies to sell. So I will be setting up a booth at the Paper Crowns 2nd annual Glitter Market.  The Paper Crown has a fun weekend planned for all of you out there who want to start making those Christmas Projects for gifts or to keep.   The weekend starts on  thursday evening November 18th. I will be teaching my Christmas Spool class. On Friday evening  will be a canvas class. Saturday will be the actual Glitter Market from 10:00-5:00 pm.  Cindy has contacted some wonderful artist to come and set up their booths with all kinds of wonderful gifts and food. On Saturday afternoon will be another class taught by Ann Denise Anderson ( from Dallas), this class will be a beautiful antique glittered cone!  I hope you all are as excited as we are to have this special event in our area.  Even if you don't want to take a class, stop by on saturday to do a little Christmas shopping. It should be a fun weekend.  Call the store today to sign up for those classes because seat are limited,  the number is 405 848-2389.  

 

Hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

200 posts

Today I am celebrating my 200th post! I can't believe in 1 year I have actually taken pictures, downloaded them and believe it or not written about each post.  Who would of ever thought I could do this blogging thing.  At first I was so intimidated to even write. Those of you who know me know that english, writing, spelling and grammar are not my best talents. I read a lot of blogs and so many bloggers  are fantastic writers and I admire that.  It's just not in my genes............So Thank You to all. Since this is a blogging milestone for me I want to have a giveaway. And in December I will have another giveaway for my 1 year blogging anniversary!  

So here it is, if you have been following my blog in the past year, leave me a comment on what post you enjoyed the most.  You have until Wednesday October 27.  I will announce the winner on thursday October 28.

 You may be the winner of this Jacket pin.

 

Again I want to say  THANK YOU everyone who takes time to stop by to see what I am up to in this little messy room of mine.

Have a wonderful fall weekend!

getting ready

As you can see by these photos  I am " getting ready" for swaps, glitter market, classes and silver bella..........I have piles all over my room and they just keep  getting bigger! Hopefully I will have most of them finished in the next two weeks.  If not I am in big trouble!  Don't worry I will have these photos in full view later.  Some of them are surprises!  I don't want to give all my secrets away yet so you will have to check back at a later date to see what all I have been creating ............
