happy halloween!!!

just wanted to say...

to my cute mom, mary!!!

she's spending a few days in vegas to celebrate her 60th birthday!!!

card candy...

i am doing a swap that is totally outside of the box of my crafting. it is to make card candy, or little items that you can add to cards that are premade. kind of like things you buy at the craft store to embellish cards with. it was hard for me to come up with this and i've been putting it off, hoping something would pop into my head! well, i finally had to do it, so this is what i came up with!! there are 10 of us in the swap and we each picked a theme. mine was birthday, obviously!!!



birthday wishes card candy
stamps: stampin up, close to my heart, studio g
cardstock: purely pomegranate, pink pirouette, cool caribbean, so saffron, designer paper (all su)
ink: purely pomegranate (su), onyx black (versafine)
embellishments: purely pomegranate ribbon, crystal effects

sunday...

ah, what a nice weekend. yesterday i was feeling a little under the weather, so i stayed in my jams all day and did nothing but lounge. it was fantastic. today, although i haven't done much more than that, we did get our deck painted (the last coat) so it's all finished!! it looks so nice! the weather today was beautiful! then we went out to dinner. i have a swap to finish up tonight, so i'll post that later.

hope everyone else had a nice weekend!!
