Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  Every year I host a halloween party on Halloween.  All the kids go out trick or treating and then we come home to warm yummy soups.  I love being together with family and everyone is always in great "spirits."

Easy paper crafting

final

Usually, I don't like to do paper crafting.  I started to get into the whole scrap booking craze but quickly stopped.  I didn't want to make a huge investment into all the product you needed.  Papers,stamps, stickers, embossers, die cutting, ink.  It all added up and then I had to find a place to store it all.  But what really closed the door for me was the process.  I had to get out all these supplies and tools.  My whole table was covered.  Then started the trash.  All the paper … [Read more...]

This is one of my favorite styles.  I always get so many compliments whenever we do this.  And it is so easy!!

The gloss lip stick … [Read more...]

Free Printable: Lunchbox notes

printable lunch box notes

My kiddos have been back in school for almost 6 weeks now.  We are definitely back in the swing of things.  They have been making their own school lunches.  I love the responsibility it gives them.  I wanted to do some lunch box notes for them but I felt kinda wierd about putting a stack of pre printed notes out for them to grab one and put it in their own lunch.  It didn't feel like a personal note from mom. I decided that if I were to make some blank notes and write on them in my own … [Read more...]
