Vendoring

Tomorrow morning when I wake up I will be faced with doing my first show as a vendor of handmade crafts..........i am nervous.

i love to create things...........i have been so inspired by her . She is my BCF (best cyber friend).

i have a two day show......at a yacht club (oh a little bit more scary)!

my car is packed and i am as ready as I will ever be...months and months of crafting. messes all over the house....and now a little bit of stress.

wish me luck!

too cute baking items

Just for fun......

The little girls and I made this cake for my son's 16th birthday.

I found the whimsical accessories on this website.

Wouldn't this be fun for the bride to be?

I bought these to make Happy cupcakes.

or sexy cupcakes?

love all of these.........

Did I mention the prices are great?

apples

I love fall...........fresh apples! So many things to do with apples. Yummy!

"Slimming" Black Rooms

While seeking inspiration for interior colors, I have often read that one must simply open the doors to her closet. The color of clothes that you tend to gravitate towards is the secret to painting a room that will soothe and comfort you.

For years I have opened that closet door hoping to find the right color to paint my rooms.....denim (I don't even really like blue and NOTHING in my house is blue) or black! Everything else in my closet is Black! I could never paint a room that color.........for heaven's sake - my room doesn't need to "look slimming".

Well think again I tell myself.......! You don't have to live in a loft in SoHo or be a total Goth to use black in interior design.

I love these rooms.......in one word: G L A M !

I bet her and Becks have a posh black room in one of their homes!

What a Give Away

I just found this blog.........and I love the giveaway.............go fast check it out!

Have you ever been "booed"?

It's time for some "booing fun". To "boo" someone is simple!

First, make a sign! And thanks to Cindy at Skip to my Lou. You can make this cute sign in about 2 minutes.

You can download Cindy's sign here.

Once you have downloaded ...... print the sign out. I just used plain white typing paper.

I then cut off the white edges and applied spray adhesive to fuse the sign to purple cardstock. Next - fold in half.

I then cut along the dotted line, following it to the circle. Continue to cut out the circle (this is necessary so that the sign can hang from the door knob).

I embellished mine with purple, orange and green ribbons.

Once your sign is complete.......gather up some goodies and assemble.

As soon as it gets dark out. Place your package at the "lucky" receipents door........ring the doorbell and run!!!!

The person who has been "booed" turns around the sign to announce that they have been hit by the halloween ghost (instructions are on the sign).......and then it is their turn to "boo" two more people.

Have fun!!! And thanks Cindy for the cute door hanger - much cuter than the xerox copy of a ghost that has been floating around my neighborhood for the past 6 years!!

Back....I am Back

I have so many excuses why I haven't blogged in months..........but I am back and to prove it I am posting just a quick little post!

Happy 16th Birthday to my son Michael.........!!! Hope you enjoyed the cake created by your little sisters.

Not sure what his plans were for that little innocent dwarf.........
