~The holidays are coming...and fast!~

Afternoon everyone!
This is the project I have been working on today,
Place cards for the holidays!
I will be hosting Thanksgiving at my house for the first time in 3 years!
I am SOOOOOO excited, I used to host every year in Oregon
but since we moved, #1 we did not know anyone
#2 we did not feel settled enough.
So this year is going to be a hoot!

This is part of my DT work for Treasured, if you are
not signed up for their newsletter, go sign up!
The full instructions for this make and take project including measurements
will be in the newsletter!
I love Fall and I love the holidays!
I hope your Thanksgiving looks to be good this year!

~Thanks for stopping by today~
We are closing on the home either Friday or Monday so
I am going to be scarce for the next couple weeks. Hopefully
I can get everything set up ahead of time to blog!
~Have a great day~
~Pinky~

~A different kind of art for me!~

Good morning, I tried something new last night...a painting class!

To be fair I have never painted before in my life.
I am thinking about making paper lollipop flowers and placing them over the dots
I do not like LOL The dots are taunting me!! I was doing fine until I had to make
circles LOL Also I was thinking of putting some sort of CREATE wording
on it to hang in my craft room? We will see...I am happy with my first painting!~

Also I wanted to share a new site with you, well new to me!!
Let me tell you I fit perfectly there!
It is called
"Scrapbooking from the inside out"
Not only are their kits simply AMAZING,
but the entire concept is beautiful.
It is about scrapping all stages of life.
This month is "Generosity"
I hope you go check them out!!
When they say a kit community like no other, they mean it.
Everyone is kind, sweet and honest, there is not catty-ness.
My kind of people!
I just adore the place and check in every single day!I received a BLOG AWARD yesterday! Thanks Kelly~

Here are 5 friends I pass this award on to..
#1 Jocelyn, because she is so sweet and wonderful I wish she
was my neighbor, I love her form afar!
It shows too because she always has like 40 comments on every post!
#2 Jona- Jona is one of those quiet sweet amazing people, I pop in
on and check out as much as possible, her work is amazing!
#3 Elena- Sweet of course, kind and creative what more can I say?
#4 Deb- who rocks the pink hair! My Armenian Princess friend!
#5 Dee- ever faithful, ever crafting Dee!


So that is all for today...

we heard from the bank and it looks like we should close very soon
and get the heck out of this crazy neighborhood!
~Have a beautiful day~
~THANK YOU for stopping by~

~Making your own Paper Lace Flowers (Doily Flowers)~

Tuesday has just flown in!

Making Paper Lace Flowers (or Doily Flowers)
They are so pretty for fall and embellishments
You know I love making my own embellishments!
Here they are on place cards,
these are some place cards I am making for Thanksgiving.

They are very simple, and timeless.
Hope you enjoy the video today.

~Sleep-in Sunday,Reveal day! Halloween Pictures 2~

Good morning fellow bloggers and crafters!
Does anyone have a candy hangover this morning?
I woke up to my son very loudly letting me know it was NOVEMBER FIRST!
and I need to change the calendar! hehehe

I have some good news, I have been meaning to share
but with all the packing, moving and Halloween, I sort of lost it!
My friend from Alabama...Kelly, started a new challenge blog called
Scrap Fit
The challenges are called Workouts
It is fun!
You have to check it out, I am on the Design Team now!
I made this Layout using the November Kit from Treasured
For one of the challenges:
Here is a sketch that I made to match it!
Here is one more Layout I made with the November Kit
from Treasured Scrapbooking, for my DT work!
I love Fall and Fall Layouts.
I took some FUN shots last night after the kids were all dresses up and
makeup was applied!
This is my favorite shot of the night....
you know every time I TRY to get that perfect little boy shot
but these boys NEVER stand innocent and to be perfectly honest,
I would not have it any other way! I LOVE these pictures!
I don't care if I am 80 and they are grown, this is still going to crack me up!


I know I am nowhere near a professional but I am really pleased with my
pictures lately. I think I am getting clear and pleasing shots.
Not they are not pro I know, but to this amateur, they make me happy!

This is my and hubster....we were the PUPPY parents hehe
Hubby really wanted LONG pink ears, I had cut black ones but
he insisted on LONG pink ears to support his PINK wife...
AWWWW!


We had a great night overall!
So happy November 1st my friends!~
Thank YOU ALL for stopping by!

~Have a great Sunday~
~Pinky~

~Happy Halloween RAK Winner & another small RAK~

Happy Halloween my friends!
It's-a-gonna be a busy day in this house!
Not only for Halloween but still packing up.
They pushed our closing back 10 days so next week is the magic number,
I am soooo ready to move and be done with all of this.

Next weekend (Saturday) I am travelling to Kentucky for a private
demo for Scrapbook Village at one of their scrap retreats, I am so excited!

I thought today I could share a couple quick pictures of the boys costumes
this year....I know I know, not the usual elaborate style Pinky makes.
But the boys were amazing this year.
They knew we were moving, and I had my hands full, so they told me...
"Mom, we all figured it out, it won't be hard to make either all of use want to be puppies!"
So puppies it is!

Worked GREAT for the school book parade too,

I mean we have like 600 books on dogs and puppies LOL
Plus my 6 yr old loves red and wanted to be a RED dog...
Heeelllloo!! Clifford! LOL *Shhh* don't tell him I said that,
he keeps saying "I am NOT CLIFFORD! I am a red dog!"

I am a little surprised the 14 yr old wants to dress up
but hey, your only a child once so I am tickled pink he is dressing up.

Also another fun venture for me...
You know how I always make those crazy quirky videos?
Well, guess what? Purple Cows picked them up and put them on their blog!
WOOHOO!!
Check it out!!
HERE!
Also I have a card featured today
Another secret I cannot share until next month...
another scrap venture...involving me LOL

If your interested there is a sale at Treasured since it just changed hands
they are calling it a chachachange sale.

And one last thing!!!!!!!
I have been HUNTING and waiting to find a GOOD advent calendar
since last year, one that I can really alter and use for years to come!
Guess what? My awesome friend Dolores found me one!
I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is on it's way this week in the mail!
I cannot wait to use it this year for Christmas!


OK the Rain Dots winner....
The number that came up was 11!!

Melissa said...

Happy Belated Birthday!! Love to follow your blog. Your so cute! -Melissa

Well that's all for me today everyone! Thanks for
bearing with me on this long post!
Have a great Halloween, no matter how you celebrate today!
~Thanks for popping by~
~Pinky~

~Almost that time...Halloween is near! & a small RAK~

Every day is one day closer to Halloween!
I am so excited to take the kids out trick or treating this year,
we always make Halloween just a day for all of us to spend together
as a family, dressing up, laughing, cooking and having fun.
This year should be fun because we are going trick or treating
with some friends, our last Halloween in this neighborhood.
I baked some cupcakes last night,
and these days I barely have time to frost them before they are long gone!
These are the lucky survivors LOL

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of
having sons and baking, and cooking for them.
Some days I look at my life and just think to myself
"I am one blessed momma."

So you know those Rain Dots they don't make anymore?
Well guess what I came across yesterday while packing?
Yea, that's right some RAIN DOTS!~
I also came acropss some other goodies I will be sharing...
today is a small (easy to mail) RAK.
Just leave ma a comment and say something!
I will randomly draw a winner on Saturday!

Many blessings to you today.
~Thank you for popping by~
~Have a beautiful day~
~Pinky~

~Happy Wednesday...new goody from Purple Cows & Video!!~

Check out my newest goody from Purple Cows!!
At first I was not sure I would use it, but now...
Oh yea I love it!
Just like the laminator, I have found great uses for this bad boy!
I am so lucky that Purple Cows sends me these fun products to try out and create with!
I just wanted to share my excitement with you because if ANYONE would understand
the joy of a new tool, it is other crafters! :)

~Happy Tuesday ..Puppies Galore...Woohoo I hit 200!!~

Good morning bloggers!

I was able to sit down last night and begin working on
the boys costumes...they were so sweet this year.
I told them we were moving and I was not going to be able to make the elaborate
costumes I usually make for the entire family, so they
sat together and voted on being puppies this year!
Easy enough right? Some fleece, some sweat pants and a beanie!
Warm, easy and functional!Plus my sweet boys are tickled about the hats!

I also wanted to scrap yesterday but not for anyone but myself,
so I sat down with My Little Shoebox and Cosmo Cricket...
dear friends of mine LOL
and made this page....
I wish it had been sunny and not pouring rain so I could have captured a better
shot of it! It's so much prettier in person!

And one more little thing!!!!!
OK OK BIG THING!
I got the email from Purple Cows saying that in one week,
WE HIT 200 FOLLOWERS! SENT BY PINKY!!!!!!
woot woot!!!!!!!
So I qualify for the 2000.00 prize....
I still need comments but the qualification part is over! WOOHOO!
