Working on Halloween Projects

It seems like I am in a Halloween time warp -- Two steps forward and one back -- I am sure cutting and choosing a lot of fun things -- and the Ideas are there -- but all in different stages of completion .

As you can see by the pics __I went a little overboard in cutting -- I have baggies full - well I cut in the evening when Hub and I watch our fav tv shows

Needless to say I am overboard with punches - Martha Stewart halloween punches are the cutest - form haunted houses -,bats ,webs etc .. Using those 40%coupons are great !!!

YOU know I love tags and those are not shown -- but tags are always in the dye
bath here- all orange you know -- except the wonderful grunged ones from my friend VIKKI - in Ohio -- hers even smell like vanilla & coffee-- lol

Of course -- I think I have coined a new phrase for myself -- ok gonna copywrite it -- "THE $1 Store Diva --" I love our $1 store -- they have had the cutest things this year -- of course they all need to be altered -- but the ideas keep popping into my head every time I go in, there are tons more Dollar pkgs of goodies "I GOTTA HAVE "-- I have gone GA GA -over creating Hallowinka-(as my sweet grandtr said at 3 -- makes me smile -- she is a middleschooler now -- growing up too fast

Of course with some things the idea is set -- We won't even talk about the trial and error -with the crackled shadow box -- LOve it -- but -- a process --
I did that many times in the past -- but that was 10 years ago -- so my execution is a little rusty -- Can't wait to show you the pics from HUbs woodworking shop -- but his camera goes with him everywhere --so Need to download his pics soon --
Blessings and happy Crafting -- kathy -ga

Hi Kathy,

It looks like you are having lots of fun! I have never used many punches until lately and I have to say I do love the Martha Stewart line. I have my eye on a couple I would like to buy in the near future, only thing is I have to drive 45 miles to get them or order them online.

Thanks for dropping in and for your always kind comments.
