What have I been up to....

I have had my scrapbook stuff out everyday this month.... Have I completed a page or two? Nope! But, I have created a lot of fun memories with my kids. My first project of the month were thistle spiders... Yes, these stickery weeds are good for something... We sprayed them black glued on some legs and eyes and we ended up with a fun spider! The scouts loved them!

Next, we made bean bags. They turned out so cute! One sheet of felt cut in half and folded. We ironed on the faces and sewed around them to make a darling pumpkin bean bag. I zipped around them with my sewing machine after so the beans wouldn't fall out...

Whats a bean bag without a beanbag toss game?

Then we made these fun witches and Frankensteins. I am in charge of the craft at the school Halloween party. These turned out so cute and my three year old had a blast making them with me.

And last but not least I made around 75 cupcakes for pack meeting. They turned out really cute and were super yummy!

And that's why I haven't blogged for a bit. I will be working on the Christmas book this week... Hopefully I wont have any more Halloween projects get in the way!

Bind-it-all

The leaves are just starting to turn all the pretty fall colors. So I decided to take the kids on a walk. They all had so much fun searching for the perfect leaves. When we came home I ironed the leaves between two wash clothes, then let the kids glue them in the little book I made with my Bind-it-all.

I just love the Bind-it-all. It has so many possibilities.
The kids colored the front of the book and loved how their projects turned out.

It was a great fall activity!!!

Thanks to everyone...

Happy Birthday...

Baby Cages...

I am so thankful I have a baby cage (also know as a crib). That way when I am pushed to the limits, I have place to put my little Sawyer!!!
Yesterday, when I got out of the shower this is what I found... My cute little Halloween book (that actually has pictures in it) was ripped to shreds. Was I mad? You bet I was, then I took a deep breath, put my naughty little baby in his crib and took a picture!!!

I tried to put the book back together but then discovered it was hopeless... I guess I'll just use one of the other Halloween books I have. It's good thing I've designed quite few of these books!

What I learned from this.... "Never trust Barney to babysit while I'm in the shower!!!"

You can make it...

Have you noticed how expensive greeting cards are getting to be? Why not make your own? They are way cuter and very affordable. If you can't think of an idea come on in to the store we have just what you need, card kits...everything is cut and ready to glue. These kits are so easy and fast. Here are a few ideas:

Another great idea that I got from my cousin, she makes up cards with her scraps right after she's done making a page! Then she has a box of cards ready to go just in case she needs to send one out in a hurry!!!

It's Finished

I have finally finished the quilt I have been making for my sister. She is so excited to hang on wall. I am so excited it is finally done!!! Here's it is...I was really happy with it.

Getting used to it

I am getting use to this crazy life that is keeping me so busy. I can also feel fall in the air and that makes me want to start crafting... I am finishing up a few projects so I can start new ones! I made a really cute Halloween quilt for my sister two years ago and she finally took it in to get quilted...all I have to do is sew a few buttons on and I will post it!!!

So So Busy

Wow, I just looked at my last post and can't believe it's been so long...
I have been so busy lately... School started up 2 weeks ago, I have been helping out in my kids classes and juggling homework ( I think they should change the name to Parent work!!!) I have also been busy taking care of my younger two children who are into everything!!!
Football started up the same day school did. (Don't get me started on that one...) Practice every night for 3 hours the first week and now two hours everyday but Sunday!!! (and my husband is assistant coach...)

I also just finished reading breaking Dawn and painting my boy's bedroom. So now that I am getting used to my routine... I will be posting and scrapbooking more!!!
