Tons of Goodies For Me!

Here are pictures (tons) of awesome items I either got in the mail/given to me. I love Halloween so it's always nice to find people that love it just as much as me.


As you all know I was the winner of Stitcher Scribbler's blog giveaway. I got so many goodies it was just amazing. I loved it all!

Look at all the awesome goodies I got. ;D






I also had to add her business card to my bulletin board. ;D

Then I got this awesome Halloween swap package from SickForCute!


THEN I got this from another of my Halloween swappers. Actually I lady I work with. ;D



She actually made that book for me out of a used book. She added little things inside here and there. I'm going to add more to it and turn it into a Halloween scrap book.


It also had some awesome pictures in it like below.

Happy Halloween

Just wanted to say Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you enjoy your sugar comas and be careful!

Working On

Here is a sneak peek of what I am working on for my shop. I am trying to center it around cross-stitch now. Something I would like to be know for. *puffs out chest*

The strawberry cake is my own design. I can somewhat draw...besides a stick man and stick woman. I'll be calling this piece, "Let Them Eat Cake".

OH! and to give a little cuteness here is a few pictures of my guinea pigs.

I have no idea what is going on here. Usually they each have there own separate igloos to sleep in. They remind me of teenagers sometimes since they can't be in the same igloo together. My oldest one Ethel(calico guinea pig) would only cuddle and sleep with her sister Lucy when she was alive. I honestly think they were plotting against me.



Then I asked Suzette what they were doing and "plotting", she gave me this answer. Guinea pig way of telling me where to stick it?



I will never know....though latter on I did find some poop that they launched out of there cage....

NOTE: If it looks like they are not being feed because of the bowl there that is not true. They only are feed once every day. They are bored eaters like there mother so I maintain what food they get.

NOTE 2: No guinea pigs were harmed while taking these pictures.

Halloween Projects

I just wanted to show off some of the Halloween items I made for Halloween swaps this year. ;D Hopefully all my packages get there in time. I still have a week left.





Oh and another reason why Fall makes me happy in my mouth....

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

For those that do not know my Uncle passed away on Friday Oct. 11th. He was my dad's brother. I think tears have been shed all over the world this weekend within our family.

My Aunt woke him up along with her daughter, husband, and there child. They said happy Birthday and sang to him. They all left to let him sleep in a bit longer. My aunt went to make coffee. Returning about 20mins later she found him gone. I think the fact that really upsets her is that morning he asked her to stay in bed a little longer. She refused stating she was old and it will only make her feel worse. She is just completely besides herself.

I think it was said later he died of heart failure. I'm not really clear on the details and more then likely will find out when I go out there for this celebration of life. I will have to fly back to Northern, CA this weekend.

There will be no funeral as my Uncle hated them. He will be cremated and we will have a celebration of life. I have never been to one so any advice on what to expect I would love to hear.

What is really shocking is my Uncle wasn't sick for months. My parents talked to him last weekend and he reported no sickness/etc. He was there and now he's gone which I think is a bigger shock to us all. I still can't believe it myself. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I think about it or talk about it.

I will miss my Uncle dearly. RIP Uncle John. You taught me laughter through tears helps to get through things.

Halloween Etsy Update

I just wanted to show the last update for Halloween in my Etsy shop!! Now to finish off my Halloween packages and send those off as well. This month is actually a busy one for me.


Hopefully my boyfriend Nick and I can go apple picking again. I really loved when we went last year. Wall to wall pumpkins and animals. I wasn't thrilled on the prices for picking apples but maybe we can just go to "look".

OH! I am also on Artfire.com. They are doing free listing transfers from Etsy. I couldn't resist this at all so I am now located there too. ;D This is going on for all of the month of Oct. so to me it's a perfect time for folks to try it out.
