Give you all my hours

Sometimes I am not sure how to start out these blog posts. I feel like I say the same thing over and over. In high school I use to be able to put my feelings on paper. I could write better then I spoke. Not true any longer. I dont know why that is. Am I out of practice? Yes. Am I lazy? Could be... I dont know the one main reason but I do know it comes a lot harder now then it did a long time ago. I do think that my feelings are better expressed in my pages. They arent as deep as my past writings but they do have lots of feeling.

Speaking of feeling, I just started a this is me album. I must tell you I thought it to be a bit selfish. I wanted to do one but I just couldnt justify it. I kept telling myself that no one would want to read a book about me. No one would care. My kids know me. Then I REALLY thought about it. I thought about MY mom and grandma and great grandma. I wished I had knew things about them. Little things. Big things. Things. I finally had justified it. Commence the book making!

If you know me, you know I love making mini books. There is just something about filling them with odds and ends that bring so much gratification. I love using anything and everything. I also love making my own base. I have bought my fair share of pre-made books but always get way more satisfaction in a handmade one.

Of course I had inspiration in making said book. The THIS IS ME class over at SC. Lexi came up with some awesome prompts and it has really got me thinking. I am really in love with doing this book. Ok enough of me talking about it here is the cover and a few pages.

The cover is denim and gold. It is made of chipboard and I just covered it in denim fabric I had laying around. I cut the chevron v from same said fabric and glued that down. Then I took some gold glitter ribbon and glued down a chevron v. Clustered a sc tag, Jenni Bowlin circle, vintage butterfly button and some leaves.

My title page...

My first two pages...Me.

This book is gonna be huge. LOL! Hopefully I stick to this and finish it.

I also got a really cool present from my hubby.

Canon Selphy cp900. This will help me in my scrappin journey. Love it.


For all my horror fan friends...

Went and saw Evil Dead on premier night. Yes I love horror. And I LOVED IT. Must see.

♥♥♥

I'm gonna be an emo kid for halloween

I have to start out by saying I am super proud of myself. I have been posting quite regularly to this ol blog. Yay me! Ha.


Hubby and I went to the movies this weekend. Haven't been in a while and there was so many wonderfully scary movies out. We choose to go see My Soul To Take. Wes Cravens new nightmare he devised. It really screamed Wes Craven. Think Freddy and Scream mashed together. I liked it tho. Was a little disappointed with having to pay extra for 3-d. Most of the time I had forgot I was watching a 3-d movie. If you can see it do so in 2-d and save the extra money. The ending lacked just a little but all in all a really good movie.

We also watched Case 39. Excellent movie! I loved it. Great story line. Great acting. Must see!

There are a billion pumpkin/Halloween recipes I am going to (or say I am going to) make and will post the end results here along with the recipe. I know one I wont be making (would love to tho) are these really neat dexter inspired lollipops.



Really really cool. Maybe next year.

I haven't made much of a dent in the Halloween craft ideas. They are still sitting in my head waiting to get out. School just seems to take over and I cant get what I want done. Study study study. Made custom acrylic crowns, bridges, and preformed metal crowns. Really fun to make.



As I had stated in previous posts I have some PSA goodies I made to share. Here are a few.





Candy cones.


Halloween style magnets

October has not heard my requests. It is flying by with a vengeance. At least I have the kids costumes taken care of. First for us! Another one to be proud of! Haha!

I have a clown with blood, a scary mask dude (not real sure what it is) and a pirate or vampire or mask wearing 6 year old. Hasn't made up his mind but we have a few extras he can choose from! My oldest is going as a band member from a band I hate. Yes that makes me old-ish. Hahaha but oh well it was bound to come eventually right?

What are the littles in your life going to be? How bout the big ones? :)

♥♥♥

I can't seem to face up to the facts.

I have a few things I need to share. I will be cropping over here at my LSS on Friday the 16TH. She is having a crop till you drop on that Friday and Saturday. I can't make sat because it is my sisters bridal shower but I will be closing the place on Friday. Who wants to come and crop with me? No one? Aww come on lol!

The other thing is I have a class on Oct. 25TH (Home) it is 15.00 and everything is included except glue and cutting tools. Here is the example. It is called a triptych.



It makes a great christmas gift. Of course what says I love you more then a handmade gift anyway?! If you want to sign up let me know or if you want a kit let me know too. I can work something out for ya.

One more class I have in store. We are making 4 pages with the monstrosity line. Here they are.







20.00 on Nov 8th.
We didnt go to the pumpkin patch but we do have tickets and will be going soon. Can't wait. I am hoping to try the zip line. EEEKKK! Love it!

I ♥ this time of year soooo much. I mean I think I say that to you all every year but seriously I love horror movies and this is like a dream month for me. So far I have watched ZombieLand-freakin awesome! Loved every min of it. Trick R Treat-pretty good I wasnt expecting it to be as good as it was. Last but not least The Hills Run Red- again another that I thought was gonna be cheese but I was suprised. If you are a horror movie fan I suggest you check them all out. If you are not but like horror/humor then you def must go see ZombieLand.

I would have seen more things but I have become like the countless million and became addicted to Facebook. I know most of you are saying where have u been? I just didnt want to give into the status quo but I eventually did and I wish I woulda done it earlier lol! I am more addicted to the games then anything. BLAH!

So no scrappyness to share really. I mean since facebook I havent done a damn thing. You would think between waiting for stuff to cook on cafeworld and killing people on mafia wars I would get something done...NOPE! A whole lot of nothing.

Yesterday was my mama's bday. Happy bday mama. The kids made a birthday song video for her. I was still in my jammies and had no makeup on so I wont share it with ya. LOL!

I am starting a accountability post on facebook. We are gonna have to account for our food for the day and share it with others who are on the post. If you want to get in on this let me know. I know I want to lose about 10 pounds more and or at least keep off what I have lost. I think this will help out a lot.
