Happy Saturday!!

....Our Fall weather is back and it was hard getting up this morning for me.  I've been really beat and wiped out, so I was very happy I did not have to get up early.  I am slow moving today and don't have too much I have to do, which is nice.  Luckily, the sun is out and that is helping to keep the temps a bit warmer, but nothing nearly as nice as those lovely 70's we had earlier in this week.  I miss Summer terribly and I am not looking forward to winter!  YUK!   I hope it goes by VERY fast, so that I can look forward to Spring and Summer.   I don't mind early Fall, but it seems once we get into November it gets chilly very fast and it's hard to believe but Monday is November 1st!  WOW!!

    Today is going to be a quiet and relaxing day for me.  I don't have a lot of energy and I'm kind of down, just that like of day.  On the upside, my chores are now done and I'm now in my craft room, which is my favorite place to be.  I also colored and created to FUN cards and I am here to share with you.

   Both of my cards today were created with digi images from Bugaboo Stamps.  They are also both fun and bright Halloween and Fall-themed cards and will be submitted to several ongoing challenges.  It's been so much fun creating a lot of cute Halloween Cards this year and I know in a way I'll miss it, but will be looking forward to working on my Christmas Cards next and they are my  favorite cards to make.

   This is the first card I created and this one was inspired by a new challenge over at the 'Catch the Bug Challenge Blog'.  The theme for this week's challenge is 'Autumn/Fall' and this is the card that I created to submit. 


   This sweet little images makes a perfect Fall or Halloween card and I created her to submit to these fun challenges -
   My second card is also another of the always adorable images from Bugaboo Stamps and this card was already created with Halloween in mind.


    And this funky Witch Pumpkin card was created for these fun Halloween Themed challenges:
    And now that I am thinking of Trick or Treating, I think it's about time start filling goodie bags for the kids that will be coming here tomorrow night.  I don's about you all, but when I was younger, we received the regular large size candy bars and now the are so teeny.  When they started cutting down on the sizes, I started adding a few goodies to each bag and we still do that.  We buy candy for a few week in advance when it's on sale, and then pack up the goodie bags just before the big night.  I'm also all of a sudden craving a piece of chocolate!   My favorite candy bar is a Baby Ruth and Halloween is about the one time I eat them.   

   What about you?   What is YOUR favorite Candy bar treat?

A Little About Me

My Photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, an illness I personally live with. I had to stop working in 2006 due to Fibro and Degenerative Disc Disease. It's been a tough road at times, but I have a wonderful family and fantastic friends. I am a Mom to two awesome sons (Ages 21 and 26) and a wife and friend to a wonderful Hubby. We live in a tiny coastal community in Massachusetts and have lived here all my life. My hubby and my boys are my whole world and mean every thing to me! I cherish all three of my guys!! I am very lucky to be blessed with wonderful friends. I adore and cherish each of my friends as much as my family! I am an avid card-maker and love all types and stamping, and also love coloring with my Copics. I'm very lucky to have this whole new world on online friends that I've met through my Craft Groups. HUGS TO YOU ALL!!
