Halloween Project

Hi all my blogger Friends!!

I used my edge punch on these!

I have been so busy with all of life and things that come with it, But I have been getting a little crafting in between it all! I wanted to share a Halloween project that I got from Linda over at  http://paperboutique.blogspot.com/2011/08/take-two-thursdaytime-for-halloween.html I have had so much fun making these and they are so cute!! Hope that I will be able to craft some more tomorrow and I am going to be in a blog hop on September 4th, So stayed tuned..it is going to be a 2 day hop...the only thing is that I am going to be away, down at the Ocean but hoping that I will have wi-fi so I can moderate and enjoy checking out all the talent that is involved!! It is called....Susan's Anything Goes Festive Birthday Bash Blog Hop!!   I am going to post more soon!! Hugs to all and have a great week!!

So sorry for Being MIA!!! and a Giveaway!!!

Hi all my faithful friends!!
 I am so sorry for not being around and not posting! Let me fill you in a bit, Life can really throw you some curve balls sometimes..I have had a very busy summer With a Grand Daughter In the hospital. and work and vacation and on and on...She is out of the hospital now and gave us A big scare!! Doctors never did say what it was, besides a unknown Virus? It was such a Relief to know that It was not something very serious! Just not going to go on to much more.. but hope that you all have not given up on me! Bet you have wondered what I have made lately? Well I have a Project that has literally set on the shelf for months that I started and have yet to finish, So I thought that I would Share it and see if any of you could help me with some Ideas on decorating it...What it is ,is a old cigar box that I have covered with masking tape then used brown shoe polish to color it, The Idea is from a book that I found at a second hand store called St. Vincent De Pauls, I love to re purpose things and happened to find an old cigar box there at around the same time. The book is called "Made With Paper" and it's Author is "Florence Temko" the copy right is 1991. It is a very interesting leather look and am Having a hard time on how to decorate it.

So I thought that I would have a little Giveaway for The person that can come up with an Idea that would help me to decorate the box...And Feeling Guilty for Being MIA!! LOL...I have missed all your sweet and loving comments here and I am now back and Ready to create and have some fun!! So if you really want to know what I will be giving away I can give you a hint when the Ideas start rolling in...So get your thinking cap on and I am open to all suggestions and Ideas...Ok...I will give you a snippet of a hint of what I will be giving away....we all have at least one in our craft room!!  Thank you all and it is so good to be back and I will be looking  forward to your Ideas for this Box!!
