Halloween Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the  Hop, this is the first time I have participated, please leave me a note, let me know how I am doing or give a suggestion. I am honored to be included with such a  talented group of people.

 

My project is my fun Haunted House.  I loved the cut and decided I wanted to find some cute paper to give the house some color.  I suspect there are  "friendly" spirits that live in this house.

 

Yes, that is Chip and Dale giving the cat on the porch a little scare.

 

I love to make little gifts to send to my daughter's friends that are away at college.  Recently I suprised a couple of gals with the witches shoe and notes  below.

 

I then felt that I wanted to send my cousin a little Halloween treat so I made the pumpkin boxes that I had seen on the cricut board, they were so cute I could not resist.

 

And then one last project that I have been working on.  Again I saw some shadow boxes created by a very talented  cricut circle member, I used the idea to make shadow boxes for my son, daughter and her friend at Iowa State.  Each month they receive a new background for their shadow boxes.  October's installment are:

Is it Really October

Looks like I have not done anything crafty since August, do you really think that is true!  Not exactly... my daughter had my computer with her at away at college, I did not know how to get my photos on this new computer, now I do and I have many projects waiting.  Make sure to stop by the blog hops because I can not post everything that I have been doing lately....

I will have to edit this later because I can not find the photos on my computer.
