All dressed up for Hallowe’en!

I saw this new Hello Kitty die by Sizzix and had to have it, too!  I needed a card for my good friend Amy who I met at our church’s Fall/Hallowe’en party a few years ago.  Since I cannot attend the party this year, I thought I’d send her a little Hallowe’en card instead to remember our fortuitous [...]

More Hallowe’en projects

I intended to do these 5 projects for a class, but it didn’t go over very well, mostly because I think I was not prepared soon enough.  So, I think they’ll end up being gifts of some kind.  If you click on the photo, you will see it in more detail.  I was unable to get [...]
