Happy Halloween!!!

  Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween and hoping you all have a lot of fun in whatever you are doing to celebrate this last day of October.  I just finished filling the goodie bags for the neighborhood kids and always hope we have enough candy.   I've done well every year, (so far) and ended up with extra, that quickly was sent off to work with Hubby of one of the boys.  The last thing is want around the house is extra candy.  Luckily, we do not have too many of my favorites, so it should be fairly easy for me to stay away!

   Today is also Sketch Sunday over at the Stars and Stamps Blog and that is my next project today.  If you would like to join me, this is our sketch for this week --

  I am not sure what kind of card I will make, but I like to keep the sketches on hand for all types of cards.  Since I am behind on my personal Christmas Cards, I think that will be my theme.

    I'll be back a bit later with an update and hopefully will have a card to share!  In the meantime, have a wonderful day....and try not to eat TOO much candy!  :)

   Update -- The sketch turned out be really fun to follow and I have not happily added  three new cards to my Christmas basket too.  I'm still doing a bit of reorganizing in my craft room and I am cleaning out my stash, which is what I used today.  Every thing I created with today is actually from last season and things I bought on clearance.  The patterned paper is  "Forest" from Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding collection, and the rest of the papers are from my scrap pile.  Even my card bases were created from American Crafts Textured Cardstock, that I bought at Micheal's on clearnace this summer!  WOOHOO!!  I just love it when I use things from my stash and goodness knows I have a HUGE stash! 

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Halloween -- All in one day!
