Kiyah

Here are some pics I took of her.

She is 8 months already.

Each holiday of her first year...
Mommy makes and gives her special little keepsakes.



I am putting it all together in a little chest for her to have later in life- from Mommy. :)

So for this Halloween
I am saving her costume and I gave her this witch collectable keepsake.

She is a little girl witch (so cute)
holding up this little star above her head ( so like her first Halloween )

And since I was asked a lot where I got everything-I'll just tell ya :) I love sharing a good thing!

Shoes (this lady hand makes them-so cute) Sweet hearts and soles
pettiskirt Sydneys bowtique
onsie Sassy Babies "lil witchy"
Headband I made
and leggings I sell from my baby boutique.
I just make them from my home like a lot of people do!
But I sure have a passion for finding all the cute stuff!
And yeah-
I use the big shot!!!! :):)



Thanks for stopping by today!

TOODLES-ANGELA

Wrapping up a fun HOLIDAY Weekend

Here is a picture of our little fam.:)
All dressed up!!! Well...okay...my hubby is a total slacker-he was saying
" babe what should I be?" As we were grabbing purses, diaper bags and walking out to the car!!!
literally! l.o.l.



But before going to our party we stopped by my parents so they could see the girls"witchy costumes"!




Then off again to our good friends The Tebbs. If you know them-you know they know how to throw a great party!
And that they looove Halloween!
They have an awesome Halloween Party every year and it is always a blast to come to!!
And by the way Miss Ivy is a fantastic decorator. Her home looked supurb!
It was all decorated to the hilt!
So I had to take pics!!!!

She hand made that cute Halloween countdown calender in the pics.
Each little detail was hand stitched with sequins...it is one of
the cutest I've seen!! All made from felt.

I think it is obvious in the pic who they were!
They always do a couple costume some how-I love it...so cute!

Nightmare Before Christmas? Sally and Jack??

To DIE FOR handmade Quilts

So cute...and vintage

All these details! My oh my! This shop is so cute. It is called
Pine Needles.
Ha to all of us Stampin' Up! gals
it was so funny...
Heather Van Duker who went with me and I
were all talking Big Shot and SU language...
Like..." ooo you could use the scallop die for this,
and this SU product for that!



Look how funny!

We saw some of the most exquisite hats!

Did a little witchy shopping...

Tried to take in all of the fun decorations...

And just "OVER THE TOP" Witches!!

Witches Night OUT! Gardner Village

What is Witches NIGHT OUT?

K...For all you lovers of spooky things and Halloween...this is such a fun event!
Each year at Gardner Village in West Jordan, Utah
The shops hold this fun night called" Witches Night Out."


Everybody comes dressed as witches.
Lots of heels and whimsy little hats!

It is all about getting away with the gals REALLY and being stupid again...
oops...sorry...
but you know what I mean! Like you do with the gals??...lol he!

PICTURE ABOVE: L to R
Heather, Me,Teisha, Amy and Carame.
Oh and the lady in the front?
We had to snatch her...she was too fun!!
She dressed up to look like the witch in the movie "Hocus Pocus!"

Excuse my weird smirk!
I think I was confused...
anywho-
But I just had to show ya!
I just went nuts when I pulled this petiskirt outta the box that I ordered!!
OOO-all those ruffles...
so fun.

Here is just a tiny spot of the bazillion people who come.
Dancing and having a ball.

PARTY FAVOR Witches Shoe

Hey bloggies!:)

So I was surfing the net for party favor ideas
and I found this shoe!!

It is sooo cute in person!
And what's so FUN about it,
is it can be used in different ways!
Like a glass slipper for a Cinderella party
or
just a cute heel for a girls night out type of schmoogle or
whatever!!
lovin it!

Ooo... I so am loving our ANTIQUE BRADS
and
SHARD GLITTER!


Wanna make this cute little shoe?

I found the tutorial at a lovey site full of all kinds of ideas!
Skip to my Lou
you can download the template there.


Helpful hints:
I found some tulle I liked from the fabric store. It had some glitteries in it :)!
So I made my little goodie sac with that instead of cellophane or something
-just to mix it up! :)
I sewed a line-super simple. Then trimmed off the ends with my pinking shears!

So Sweet! Cherry On Top Award

Oh this totally brought a smile to my face! And made me happy.
To see that I got this award from a blog friend who's work I love and adore!
Rose



For this award, I need to share 3 things about myself
and then pass it on to 5 blogs.

Mmm...

I will make it hard on myself and not mention things Arts/n Crafts.



1. I am obsessed with holidays! Birthdays and Special Occasions.
I think I just love the excuse to spoil, do something fun, or carry out an old tradition.

2. I love to clean. I know strange. But man I stare for a while at a room I just cleaned and it's refreshing!!

3. I like health food. My friends all tease me about a drink I drink every day. They call it the swamp drink!
Hey...It's fully loaded with vitamins and nutrients-and yes it does taste nasty-but I don't care! :)
And don't worry...I do eat chocolate n stuff at times...but I really enjoy healthy foods.



OK, so I'm passing this award onto 5 very talented ladies:


Laura-A day in the life of the paper poppy

Stacey- Stacey's Stamping Stage

Jo-Stampin'n Stuff

Jamie-Shabby Horse

Monica-My many, many passions



Have a fabulous week bloggies!!
TOODLES!!!

Trick or Treat Box Favor:

Below you will see the inspiation for this box from the Stampin Success Catalog!

I changed a couple things...it is so fun to ruffle your paper!

Just mist with a water bottle and make your paper all limpy :)"bendy around" adhere to something strong like
sticky strip!

I used the Spooky Night Rub-ons

The crumb cake card stock base is 5 by 4 inches.

Here is just one of the fun things the gals got to make
at this months CARD CLUB.
We made a coordinating Scull tag to go with-and added some ribbon!

They come out great every time!


PUMPKIN BARS:



4 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. pumpkin I like (Libby's Best ) brand
3 heaping Tb. of applesauce
2 1/3 c. flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. cinnamon

DIRECTIONS: Do wet ingredients first then add dry. Spray pan ( large sheet cake pan ) with non stick spray.Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes ( figure out for your oven)After it cools and I usually put a towel over after it has been out of the oven at least 15 min. Just to lock all that moisture in!
Add cream cheese frosting.I use and looove for this the PILLSBURY creamy supreme cream cheese. Or homemade.
Sprinkle with pretties ( sugar crystals ) and your done!

Halloween Workshop

Havin fun!!!

A couple gals were not here for the pic at this time...
I'm sure that was on purpose J/K!! (kind of lol )

Hostess Gift

Playing with the BIG SHOT again...



I made this recently as a hostess gift for one of my Hostesses.


I had to try it out-The idea is from the new Idea Book and Catalog!
I am loving all the inspiration in it!!!

BIG SHOT

Scallop Square die
Island Floral die
Circles #2 die

Oh my goodness and these buttons are so chunky yum!
I am lovin-em!
They are in the mini catalog
48 different buttons! For 8.95


HOW I MADE IT:
1. Cut out 2 scallop squares
2. Cut out your flower layers I did around 5
3. Cut out your circle center.
4. stitch around the circle center to the flower layers
5. Hand stitch embroidery floss around to secure your button and your flower layers together.
6. Stack your 2 scallop square layers-sew around edge.
7.Then sew around that same stitch again with Ric Rack or lace etc...leave a small opening to stuff
I used flax seed for this to stuff it. I like the weight.
All done!
