Halloween Fun!

We had a fun Halloween.  Evelyn was the chick-fil-a cow and so we had to visit there for dinner before going trick-or-treating.  She was a hit and loved the attention.  They let her ring the cow bell!  Also, customers in the store were taking her picture.  So funny. 

This is her 3rd Halloween, and so really, the first Halloween that she could really enjoy.  It’s amazing how quickly kids pick up going house to house! We had a fun time visiting neighbors as we went around.  By the time we made it back to our house, I only had about 5 groups come by our house.  With all the homes being taken down around us for the highway, no kids made their way over here.  Lots of leftover candy.

Justin took her around dressed up as a cowboy – complete with his horse!  I made the sign by painting some chipboard, and printing the vinyl on my cutter.  Then, tied it onto her with twine. 

Boutique season is here!

My boutique is this weekend, and then the next weekend we have a booth at the pumpkin walk in Stansbury park.  Here are some items I’ve been working on.

These signs turned out so fun!  They are old crate boards & I stenciled a graphic onto them.  Different, but fun.

My niece Ashley received her young womanhood Recognition Award. I am so proud of her!  This is what we gave to her to tell her congratulations.  The other side has the other quote.  She can decide what kind of mood she’s in …

the only thing that keeps me going is how brilliant and amazing I am.

Halloween Décor is back!!

It’s time to pull out the Halloween Décor.  I have a few pumpkins up already, but I’m thinking I need to add a little {SPOOKY} to it!

These blocks were made by painting them black, let it dry, add vinyl and paint over that orange.  Once dry, peel off the vinyl and there you have a fun, rustic look!

I love this witch in a frame!!  Plus, I decided to add a little sparkle to the frame and think it turned out so darling!

Technically, this is as {SPOOKY} as it gets around here!

Halloween 2010

My cute witch at the trunk or treat. What a cutie!
The next night, she went out as a fairy...it was a makeshift costume. Because of the rain, we weren't going to go and so when she got out of the tub, I put on her pj's, added fairy wings and a tutu and her boots (of course!).

She loved saying hello to all of the neighbors stopping by to trick-or-treat!

We decorated a room at the trunk-or-treat (inside due to weather). My co-decorators were the McCullough's and Kevin whipped out those fences in 1 hour! Pretty amazing. It made our pumpkin patch look darling! What fun!

Mod Podge Pumpkin

It's a marshmallow world in the Winter...er, FALL!! We woke up to snow this morning. Calls for a white pumpkin to be made. I mod podged sheet music onto one of the pumpkins in our garden (after priming the pumkin with paint -- how funny is that?!?!). I love how it turned out! I think I'll offer it up as a reward for the most guesses of pumpkin seeds at the ward party on Friday!

more pumpkin walk stuff!

soap dispenser!

Here's the newest trend in transforming soap. Prime the plastic with a plastic primer...

Spray paint it whatever color....

Add vinyl...and
