Halloween Headband

Scraps of black, purple, orange, and green material rolled into flowers, then bunched together.  Add a jewel to the center of the purple flower, then sew them onto a stretchy headband and you've got yourself a Halloween Headband!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween Stacker

Isn't it cute? And so easy too!

Here are all the supplies you'll need:
the wood is a 2x2 board, cut into a 10' block, 8' block and a 6' block. Black, orange and purple paint, paint brush, vinyl words, purple tulle, black wire ribbon and orange feathers. Oh and don't forget your hot glue gun, always a must when crafting! :)

First, paint your blocks and let them dry. Then stick your vinyl words on the blocks. Hot glue your blocks on top of each other just to make it a little more sturdy. Wrap the tulle around the sides of your stacker and tie at the top. Lay the black ribbon and another small piece of tulle over your knot and tie it again. Trim your tulle and black ribbon to your liking.  Hot glue the orange feathers in place and you're done!

So quick and easy!

Looks fabulous on any shelf in your home!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Picture Frame

A Halloween frame to use every single year!

I went to the dollar store and got a cheap black frame, made some flowers out of old orange material scraps and put them on the corners of the frame.  Then I uploaded a picture from last Halloween to Picnik.com and added some text and a pumpkin, had it developed, and put it in the frame.  I'm excited to put a new Halloween picture in each year!

Aggie Subway Art

My daughter loves anything that has to do with the Utah State Aggies.  My husband brought home a pink Aggie "A" for her wall and I thought I would add my touch to it!  I wanted to fit it in with the colors of her room and this is what I came up with...

Fits well don't ya think?!?

My Blue Suede Shoes

So, I got these blue suede shoes for my daughter on a screaming deal at Target just in time for the 4th of July, but had nothing else for them to go with.  Thanks to Grandma she broke out the old 80's material and whipped her up and outfit.  I loved it!  It looked just like what I used to wear! Oh how we loved the 80's!
