Festive Fridays 9/30/2011

Today over at Erica's Craft Room is Festive Friday.

I decided that I was going to make a scrapbook page for halloween and use my "Happy Hauntings" Cartridge for this project. I really like how this page turned out.

Here is the instructions...

I used Happy Hauntings and the Gypsy

I cut the pumpkin @ 4"

cut the Witches at 3.5"

Cut the words " Happy Halloween" at 2.5"

Stripes were cut at 3" x 12"

Photo Mat (upper) :yellow @4" purple @ 3 3/4"

(Lower) Orange cut @ 3.5" and the yellow @ 31/4"

I enjoyed this great halloween page.

I hope you enjoyed and come back and see more projects...

if you have any questions please feel free to leave me a comment...

Now jump back over to Erica's Craft Room to see all the other wonderful projects done for today. And everyday there is always something new...

Happy Crafting!

Sorry I have been gone

Hello everyone sorry I have been gone for so long. But I have a lot of things happening in my life with my family and especially with my children since the end of last month.

It has been very emotional and stressful for the past month for my daughters and my family.

Something happened that no one would ever image would happen to one of their children and by someone that is part of the family. Everyone is well now and we are just going through alot of healing and trying to get on with our lives now.

I am thankful for my children and I would not know what I would do with out any of them. Each one of them are their own person and each one brings so much to my life.

I would like to say I am so proud of my oldest daughter for standing up and trying to do what she needed to do to protect her younger sisters and I am so blessed to have her as my daughter.

If it wasn't for her my 7 year old would not be a live today. Thank you Kate-Lyn, you are my hero and you are such a brave girl. I love you!

This morning my daughters looked at me and asked me when I was going to go and relax. They reassured me that they are alright and they need me to be who I was a few weeks ago. So I told them that I now know that they are safe and alive I will start to get back to being who I was before all of this happened.

So today I am sitting in the craft room and I am looking through things that I need to work on a get back to be my creative self.

Today I am going to work on some cards for each one of my daughters to tell them how each one of them are so special to me and what they have brought to my life....

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers and the support that you all have given me during this very emotional and traumativing situation... I am so blessed to have family and friends like you all in my life...

Well time to get Crafting!

Happy Crafting everyone! Have a wonderful day.

Hurricane Irene and No Power

We got hit with Hurricane Irene last weekend and we were without power for 5 days. We had no cell phone service either. It was a stressful 5 days. School was supposed to start on August 29th and was cancelled until September 6th. We also had no running water either. But we finally got power, cell phone service and water back on.

I was with the Ambulance Core during the Storm, I was stationed at the Plainfield High School with the Red Cross. I was there for 40 hours straight. It is an experience that I won't forget.

Well today I am off to get some crafting done! Happy Crafting Everyone !!!!!!!!
