Click on the image to watch a video on the Princess & Pirates Party kits that are the last Deal of the Week. Remember – this Deal ends TONIGHT!! (Boo! Scary!).
In the meantime, have a Happy Hallowe'en, and fingers crossed that my computer issues (speaking of Boo! Scary!) are resolved today with yet another phone call with Microsoft support.
I'm having some major computer issues at present! I still have some online access, though…but if I'm a little slow to respond to emails, that's why… Apologies and fingers crossed that things are resolved SOON.
This is a cute idea for treat for a favourite trick or treater! The wrap is actually a Pillow Box die cut. The project uses the Graveyard Gala stamp set. You can see the complete list of supplies used here.
The Hamilton Holiday Stamp a Stack is just about a week away – there's still time to register!! Contact me if you have any questions, or click below to instantly register using a credit card. See details HERE
It's that time of year – carving the pumpkin, finding and/or creating the perfect costume….not eating all the Hallowe'en candy before October 31st…LOL. A great time for photo taking, too!!
Found some sites for Hallowe'en photography tips HERE and HERE. I like the reminder to be IN as many photos as possible – too often the photographer gets "left out" of the pics (speaking from experience). This is often not discovered until said photographer is then trying to scrapbook the event/photos, and realizes that they have none of themselves. I have a whack of pictures from our trip to Disneyland and I think I appear in two of them.
Another great tip – even if you're not thrilled with how you are appearing these days (and let's face it, we're usually our own worst critics) – it's still good to be in the photos. One friend pointed out that up until a while ago, the only photos of her showed her hiding behind her hand. Not very memorable for herself or for her family (nor very scrapbook-worthy LOL).
In the meantime, I share with you a photo from a few years ago. Remember – even if your photo isn't technically perfect, it can still capture the moment and the memories! I like to take photos in the same spot each year to show the changes and growth. The little ghost here is definitely a bit bigger now! All right – back to the jobs at hand….now where did I put the rest of that candy??!!
Build-a-Bear products are available in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue!! They're fun, no matter what your age. Today seemed like a good day to show some cute birthday projects made with Build-a-Bear items, in honour of Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, born on this day in 1858. The teddy bear was created and named in his honour after the then President was on a hunting trip and refused to shoot a captive bear (he ordered it released instead).
The invitation features the Bigz die Stampin' Up bear; the candy box is made with the Fabulous Favours box and Pawsitively Embosslit die, and birthday hat is made from a paper cone and embellished with the Lil' Paws Embosslit die. If you need more information on these items or projects, feel free to contact me! See here for the complete instructions on creating these birthday projects.
