Two More Days!

I can't wait! I love Halloween! This year I made up gift bags for the trick-or-treaters. I hope I made enough, this will be our first Halloween in this neighborhood, and there seem to be a lot of kids in the area. I picked up a couple extra bags of candy in case I run out. My kids are all excited too! Their cousin is going to go trick-or-treating with them and then we are all going to come back to the house and have a party! I hope you have something fun planned for Halloween too! :)

Today is a pretty epic day treasury wise. I have finally come to the end of my Across Etsy treasury series with the last category Accessories! :) I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed making it!

Getting Closer!

I bought our Halloween candy yesterday. Now I all I have to do is finish decorating the outside of the house and make sure no one eats the candy till Halloween, and I'll be done! :) This will be the first Halloween in our new house, so I have no idea how many kids will show up. Our last neighborhood had hardly any kids, and was out in the middle of nowhere. This year we are in a real neighborhood, so I think we'll have a LOT more kids! I hope I bought enough candy... Do you get a lot of trick-or-treaters at your house? How much candy do you buy? I guess if I run out of candy, I can always start giving out snack food from the cabinet. :)

And speaking of Halloween, today's mini treasury is Books and Zines Across Etsy, and since I'm in a Halloween mood, it ended up with a very spooky motif. Enjoy! (If you dare...) :o

Happy October Everybody!

I am SO glad September is finally over! It always seems like the longest month in the year! :) I got my Halloween decorations down from the attic yesterday. My kids are all excited to go trick-or-treating now. I let them have their plastic pumpkin buckets to play with, and now they keep asking me if today is Halloween yet! :) Silly kids! :) Speaking of kids, today's mini treasury is Children Across Etsy! At first I wasn't sure which way to go with this theme, but I decided since today is October 1st, I would do a children's Halloween theme! Enjoy! :)

It's beginning to look a lot like...

...Halloween! :) I actually had to turn the heat on yesterday morning! And the trees in our neighbor hood are just barely starting to change color. Can't be that much longer! :) My kids are all excited. They sort of remember last Halloween, but I think they mostly just remember that they got candy. I don't think they remember the dressing up part at all. That reminds me, I have to figure out costumes for them! :o Hmm...I'm glad I posted this. Now I have another thing to add to my to do list!

Anyway, today's mini treasury theme is Holidays Across Etsy. I was going to do like I did with Housewares, and do one holiday for each item, but there were enough subcategories to do that without doubling up, and I couldn't figure out a good color scheme to work with all the different holidays. So, instead, I ended up picking one holiday to work with. Well technically two holidays. Since it's so close to October, I went with Day of the Dead and Halloween. I found some really cool stuff too! :) Enjoy!

And here is the equally spooky full sized treasury! :o Oh and I almost forgot! I've been playing with my blog some more. If you look at the top of the page, I've added some new pages. :) I now have About Me, My Family, and Cool Links pages. I'll be adding a couple more and I'll be adding more content to the ones I already have. Let me know what you think!

Okay, back to work! Have a cool day! :)

Stupid Time Change...

I hate time changes. I doesn't matter if it's forward or backward, it always screws up my sleep pattern, which is not that great to begin with. So right now my body thinks it's about 11:30 and it's not even 10:30 yet. Yuck...

On the upside I got a lot done today. I finished up my special orders for Thanksgiving and made an extra piece too! :) I was gonna post them tonight, but my brain is not functioning enough to do that, so they shall be posted tomorrow instead. But I will post a pic of the non-special order piece I did, because it came out REALLY nice! :D



I love the way this piece came out! :) I wasn't planning on making it this detailed, but it just kinda turned out that way. I also made a cooked turkey, Indian corn, a pilgrim hat, and canned cranberry sauce, but those are special orders. I'll let you guys know when I post them all.

Oh and Halloween yesterday was totally fun. :) I'll post pics when I've gotten them from my aunt (cause she took all the pics). Alright time to clean up my sculpey mess.

Later! :)
