Halloween Goodie Basket......and Buddy

Gee, Halloween is this weekend already and I haven't posted anything Halloweeny. The other weekend, Jenny had a "make 'n take" which was a cute little basket at Island Scrapbooking's Anniversary Sale. I missed out since I was shopping for so long...... :-)

Then last week while blog hopping I happened to come across the tutorial for that same basket. What luck yah? So I made this basket this evening. Oh, and it was soooo easy. Click here for the tutorial.

Supplies:
Spellbinder dies
Punch by Martha Stewart
Copic Markers
Brads
Stamp by ???? I got a set of Halloween stamps at a garage sale.

WAIT.....don't leave yet. :-)

Earlier this month, my two nieces from Oahu, ages 8 and 6, spent a week with us during school break. As I mentioned in my earlier post, Dallas just TOTALLY LOVES our pooch, Buddy and can spend the entire day with him. Well, she called and asked my son to email a picture of him to her. So he decided to get a little creative and got him dressed up for Halloween. :-)

Does anyone want is "pawtograph?" HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Christmas in October

A few weeks ago, I got this CUTE set of Hello Kitty Christmas stamps. Sooooo irresistible!!! Then a week later I found this 1 foot artificial tree and had to get it so I could put it on my office desk. The HK images are small so they were perfect for making itty bitty ornaments for my itty bitty tree. My September Xmas tag partner, Char gave me the Christmasy twine. THANKS CHAR!!! :-)

Here's my decorated tree.

Brigitta On a Tree Stump

This past Saturday was a BIG day for me. I splurged at Island Scrapbooking's HUGE anniversary sale and scored some really, really, really great deals.

Michele had a drawing and all we had to do was make a card to enter. Here's the card that I made. The stamp was given to me by Enjoli who won my last blog candy giveaway. Thanks Enjoli. I LOVE the stamp. Sooooo cute. I'm glad that the girls at IS took a pictue of this card and posted it on IS's blog because my son deleted it from my camera. Ahhhh.

Ohhhhh, and speaking about blog candy, next month makes 1 year since I started my blog. Wow, how time filies when you're having fun. :-) I'm planning to celebrate next month with another candy giveaway and I invite you to stop by to enter.

Sakura Birthday Card

Breaks over. It's time for me to post a card again.

I made this for my friend and part of her gift. Her birthday was on 8/29 but since I've been "hung up" with my fractured ankle I'm finally gonna take her out to lunch next weekend. I'm so happy because I no longer have to use that big 'ol clunky boot. I've "graduated" to an ankle brace which is sooooo much more comfortable. Whew, what a relief.

Paper by DCWV - Far East Stack
