Snowman Swap sign up is still going until Nov 9th. there are 11 of us right now. It would be nice to have a few more people .. or even lots more.. but even if there were no more.. we will still have great fun making our snowman ornaments.. If your interested let me know either here or through email!
Also, dont forget the blog halloween party! Be sure to stop by on Halloween night for tricks and treats! In fact I might even do a little give away (i've been dying to do that! ) so for every one that leaves a comment, I will throw their name in a Hat and someone will win... something! I dont know what it will be.. I will make something fun!
Speaking of making something this is what I did this weekend.. mostly yesterday...

then this morning before going to work I decided that she needed a skirt and pumpkin, so I quick did that. Now she is finished. Yay! Now I can get back to work on the big bear orders.. ! theres just so many of them.. I should not complain, I am greatful for the orders and I really do like making them for people, its just that there is so many things that I want to make for myself!!
My brain is packed full of ideas of things I want to do. Not to mention the swaps I'm in! Im in 5 right now. the snowman ornament swap that i'm hosting, an altered christmas stocking hosted by sandy-sandyscreations.blogspot.com, an international christmas stocking hosted by Tinis-arts through the swap ladies group on flickr, a christmas garland through gaga for garlands christmas swap, and lastly an pink ornament swap throughthe pink Christmas group on flickr..
well hate to end abruptly.. but my daughter just got home and we are running into the city to Joann Etc! got to get supplies for all those swaps!
make sure to come back on halloween!

First of all.... Dont forget to sign up for the snowman ornament swap! (One entry below this one!!!)
second of all....
Check this out.. theres going to be a wild halloween party !

this just sounds like so much fun! trick or treating from blog to blog.. mingling with all the little blog monsters and ghouls! I've got to think up something fun to do!! OH my.. thats only a few days away! I guess I better get thinking!

snowman swap? what do you think?

I've been thinking that I would like to host a swap. I finally decided on a snowman ornament swap! Im wondering about how to spread the word.. I think I'm going to make up a little flyer inviting players, take a picture and post it on flickr!? Is that dumb? and then perhaps I will visit a bunch of my favorite blog spots and invite some of the gals in person! I'm thinking that sign up could go from now through November 9th and the ornaments should be mailed to our partners by dec 5th. I would appreciate anyones thoughts on this. Im hoping people will be interested!

OH MY! I'm sitting here looking around at all the tons of Halloween stuff I have and I'm already thinking what a pain it is to pack it all up. theres a "blank space" between halloween and Christmas. So when I put the halloween stuff away, its too early to get the christmas stuff out.. which means I either have to put all the "regular decorative things" back out or leave it empty til its time to put the christmas stuff out!
I have to put the other stuff back out, other wise my house would be bare.. (hmm... my family would probably appreciate that though!)
I really only have a few little thanksgiving things.. I will get christmas stuff out the day after thanksgiving.. or.. maybe before... hmmmm..... I really have to put the other stuff back out because its all stored in the bins that the halloween stuff came out of! Its just a lot of work ! I just have too much stuff!!!
But I love stuff! dont you? And I'm always ready to get more stuff.. eiy yie yie!!
When my kids are finally all moved out, I will have so much more room for all my treasures! and more new ones too!!!
Do you love this needle punched pumkin face doll? A friend made her and was selling her in her store.. before she had her finished I knew I had to have her!! I love her!
so I'm off to work on teddy bears.. maybe I'll have some bear pictures to post later!

does anyone know how to get rid of the little tools all along my side bar?

hmm.. forget it, they disappeared! ??
