Halloween Tags

The pastTheThe past few days have been a whirl wind.  I talked to Jenna on Thursday night about when I was going to come to visit.  The plan was that I would come for a few days to help her get some things done before the baby arrives.  During our conversation, she told me that Antonio really wanted me to come now as he was nervous about her being alone while he was at work.  I had been getting nervous about it also the past few weeks.  So we decided that I would come the next day, on Friday.  So I made arrangements for house/cat sitters, ran up town that night and bought more cat food, gassed up the van, and dropped off some stuff I had in the van at the flea market.  Then the fun began of getting everything packed, trying to think I what all might need for a month or more, things I needed to take care of before I left, etc, etc.  I packed till around 2am and finally went to sleep around 4 am.  After about 3 hours of sleep, I was back up and getting more things taken care of and left for Milwaukee a little before 1.  It was an uneventful drive here which was good.  I got things settled into my room.  I brought a couple of little tables which fit absolutely perfect at the end of my room so I have a place to sew and work, and set my things on.  Jenna is getting me addicted to Law and Order!  We have been cooking together, relaxing, and visiting.  I rearranged the refrigerator last night to make more room and freed up a shelf in there.  Jenna had went grocery shopping before I got there plus I brought some food from my frig so it was pretty packed.  It looks much better now and there is a lot more room.  Talk to you later!  Elaine

Another rainy day in paradise

Hello!  This is going to be a quicky post as I am not feeling the greatest right now and need to get down and to sleep again.  I had a migraine after the flea market today, took meds, and slept it off, felt better, and now I am starting to feel yucky again.  Time for some more sleep I think.  Nadine was over tonight and we had a nice visit.  We were rearranging her house from here...lol....to give her a bigger stamping room!  I think it will work out great for her and for all of the entertaining that she does. ;-)
Today's tags use the same stamp sets as yesterday, Twick or Tweet, Dotted Autumn, and the addition of Pumpkin Patch.  I also used the Sizzix sizzlet button #5 die to cut the buttons out of textured cardstock, tied crochet cotton through them, and popped them up with some dimensionals.  Don't they look real!?!!?  I also used our small star punch, and popped that up too.  Monday is Sandy's party...I am really looking forward to seeing you all!  Elaine

Twick or Tweet ?

Here are some Halloween tags that I made using some retired stamp sets.  The one on the far left is made with the Pumpkin and Pumpkin face from Holiday Blitz.  The middle one uses the set Twick or Tweet, and the last one on the right uses the stamp set Dotted Autumn.
