Frankenstorm Is Here!!

Well I am sure if you have been watching the weather you

know that the North East is getting hit by hurricane

"Sandy" or better known as "Frankenstorm"!!

I am normally off on Mondays so this worked out well for

 me today to stay around the house and out of the weather!

As long as we don't loose power I hope to be up in my

craft room working away today!  I normally have errands

to do on Monday but I decided to stay home in case things got bad!

So if you live in this area where the storm is be careful in

your travels!  I hope to have a few projectes to share with you

later this week!

Be safe and Happy Monday!

Scrapbook Attic Space & Halloween Cards!

Well I finally have a couple of pictures to share with you

of my new Scrapbook room in our attic!

It's finally coming together!  It is not fancy and nothing really

matches but I feel very blessed to have this much space devoted just

to me and all of my goodies!  It is a pretty big space which is nice because I can spread out

and make a mess and not worry about anyone seeing it!

In the above picture this is my extra work space for cutting

paper of if I have a friend over they can work here as well.  Most

of this wall area is devoted to card stock and paper!  You can never have too much

paper:)

Above there is a picture of my work space.  I have my table in the middle

of the room so I can easily move around and find

what I need for each project!  I love this project desk!  It was

a Just Cabinets find:)

Now over to the left of my personal work space I have

part of my ribbon collection, wrapping station, and my Cricut

cutting area.  Having all of my crafting supplies in one area really

makes it handy!

Since having this space and finally getting organized, I feel like

I have been crafting more often!  Which is a good thing:)

Sometimes I just go up there and sit and move stuff around:)

I wanted to share with you a couple of Halloween

cards I made to send out:)

I am so excited for next week to come, I hope I get a

few trick or treaters!

Here's a close up of the two larger cards.

I think this one is probably my favorite!  I love the

spiders:)

 Happy Wednesday

Halloween Tablescape!

What a crazy week but I am now ready to share with you my

Halloween table scape!  Most of the items used I had

or bought at the Dollar Tree:)  I have been finding a lot of

cute accent decorations there lately!

Here are two over view pictures of the table!

I love the skulls, I got them for $1 each and then just

hot glued orange marbles to the inside of their eyes!

I think it added just a flair to them:)

Below I just filled some purple cracker dishes with

orange marble filler things and then added a "BOO" sign

and skulls to the dish!  The BOO sign I picked up last year

at Michael's for a $1.29 after Halloween was over!

Here is a close up of the skull, you can really see his

orange eyes!

I did the same think in this dish just with an "EEK" sign!

The rat behind the dish was another Dollar Tree find:)

I think it just adds a little fun to the table!

My centerpiece is made up of crystal hurricanes, these are really

neat because the tops come off and you can use the bottoms

for candle stick holders!  I picked these up at a garage sale

last month for only a .50 each! SCORE :)  I filled the middle

hurricane with fake moss and skeleton parts!

Below is a pumpkin project that I just completed!

I bought my fake pumpkins at the Dollar Tree and then

just bought some rhinestone accent stickers at Michael's added

them to each pumpkin to give it a little flair!

I think total cost for each pumpkin turned out to be close to $2.25 which

isn't too bad! 

Gotta love the bling!!

Here it is on the Halloween Table!

Well I hope you have enjoyed the post and maybe inspired

you for some Halloween decorating!

I will be linking up with the following blog parties!

Pumpkin Dollar Store Arrangement!

This past week I was at the Dollar Tree

and picked up some great supplies and decorations!

I have been trying to use supplies I already have but

as you know with any project you are always missing something:(

So here is a picture of what I started with!

The pumpkin basket was a find earlier this year a garage sale

for only $0.50!  You gotta love those finds!

The Styrofoam and moss I got at the dollar store and the

leaves and pumpkins I had left over from last year.

I wanted to use the pumpkins as floral picks so

I went to the kitchen and got out wooden kabob picks

and there you have it! I pushed them into the bottom of the

pumpkin so the pointy side would then go into the

Styrofoam!

\Below are filler balls you can get at Michael's, I had

purchased these last year and knew I would use them for

something!  I think I got them for 75% off!

Once again I pushed them onto the kabob picks

and turned them into a fun addition to the overall arrangement:)

Below is the final arrangement!

I think  I had a total of about $4.00 in it:)

Not too bad and it used up some of my stash!!

I think it matches pretty good with the sunflower picture I have in our

living room right now!

Don't you just love Fall decorating?? :)

All of the pretty colors and smells just put me in a

good mood:)

Well I hope you enjoyed the post and

maybe got a few ideas to try with some

left over craft projects!

I will be linking up with a few great blog

parties!

have my Halloween table scape to share with you:)

Have a great week!
