She's just a girl who says that I am the one

I had a lovely 4 day weekend. I really needed it. Although I didn't get my girl cave cleaned. That REALLY REALLY needs to happen. I keep telling myself to get rid of more paper. Hi my name is Marie and I am a paper hoarder. Seriously a mess. I mean I don't go in there very often (to cold right now) so I don't understand why it is so messy. Couldn't be that I never put things in their place or that when I look for something I just throw stuff around. Nah couldn't be that.

I looked around the net for beautiful lil crafty spaces to replace my old ugly one. This one I could so live with.


Cute.Sweet.Someday.

This weekend I did a bit of Valentines day crafting. I finally got my mantel all set up. I have to tweak here, step back, tweak there. It is done tho, I think.

Pete pots.


cost .15

Heart doily garland, pom pom napkin garland, felt heart garland.

The garlands cost me less then .50 to make.

Hurricane with wood grain, doily and felt hearts tied with twine. Inspiration came from Jenny Doh and Veronica Lopez.


Cost 2.05

I sat and picked out all the white hearts to fill my 2.00 milk glass candy dish.


Lastly picked some berry (?) sprigs from outside to fill my 2.00 milk glass vase. (Goodwill find)


I decided to do red and white for the mantel. I don't know why, just go with it.
:)


My decorations came in under 10.00 for the whole shebang. Of course the glass wares (which cost me the most) I can re-use elsewhere and will definitely get my money out of them.

The rest of my valentines day decorations to come soon and a tutorial on how to make the napkin flowers. :)

In other news hubby's birthday is Thursday. We are having a family get together and I think I am going to try my hand at this recipe.

I will let you know how it turns out.

My fake plastic love

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!

Last weekend ended up making these freakin awesome cookies.


They are one of the BEST peanut butter cookies ever! Yum.



Went to see "Devil" Sunday with my hubby. I was really expecting it to be bad. I didn't want to waste the tickets on it really. I mean the preview looked really good but so many movies have disappointed me lately. I am so glad we did go. It was really good. Not my typical horror movie. I really enjoyed it tho. I don't like elevators and this elevator made me wanna hyperventilate lol! Oh and I will never get in a nbr 6 elevator again. Just FYI.

I started a new MOD last Monday. This mod is the longest and it is a lot of hands on lab work. I have learned how to do a Rubber Dam, Calcium Hydroxide cavity prep,& Toffelmeyer matrix band. All interesting but a little hard. Good challenge.

I finished some Halloween fun stuff.

(inspo found on google from rawbone etsy)

I have so much more to make. Many Ideas floating in my head.

Halloween coasters
Haunted houses
tree ornaments
Door hangings
and the list goes on and on...

Now I just need the time to make them.

Taught the girls how to "sew" this weekend. We made voodoo dolls. Very fun. They really had a good time creating. I was not feeling great at the time but they really wanted to learn. Here are our finished products.

(Ravens;left Mine;right)

My son's and my little girl want me to teach them now. It was hard enough teaching the 14 yr olds! LOL! I am not sure if I will be conquering that with the lil ones.



Think I am gonna have to find a different Halloween goodie to make with them.

Last but not least I think I will be making this sweet lil one soon. How cute is he or she!


I really love Halloween. I love fall. I am going to start decorating today. When do you start?
