Halloween Bag

I got the bag at the Dollar Tree

they were 2 bags for a dollar
The lace was from Joann's

and was on sale for $2
I used 1/2 of it per bag


I started out with 
regular glue 


but it didn't work as well


so I used a hot glue gun

I took purple, orange and black
ribbon and made a bow then added:

I found these chipboard
embellishments
at Walmart




I also glued the cat on the body of the bag




This craft project
was
featured
here

I will be using one for a swap

Button Bracelets

A few new things I have been working on

button bracelets

Halloween inspired


There really isn't much
to make them
put the jump ring threw the button 
and attach it to the link in the bracelet


if you buy the pre-made link bracelets its even easier!


otherwise just add
a clasp and off you go!

Summer Inspired

Outside my window..sort of

There hasn't been to much activity 
outside my window lately
I did see my bunny friend
He/She has lived here
since a baby
every yr I wonder if they'll be back


I hadn't seen him/her until this wk


Needless to say I was pleased




this guy scared the beejebbies
out of my dtr
She didn't see him until
 she was real up and close...





Festival Day 2

Day 2
of the Community Festival
was the parade in the morning
(see separate post here)





 












 



then I worked the campaign booth
 in the afternoon




The Candidate






The candidates twin and his family

 There were a lot of us
 running around with blue t-shirts


we gave away 1600+ 
pieces of cotton candy






I was surprised how many
 people came up
and when we handed 
them a free cotton candy
they were surprised 
(I guess no one gives free things)
- and how many older people
 commented that it had 
been years since they had it!




The best thing 
is being w my girls



I was so tired I didn't even go over to take photos
of the moon glow
The festival ended at 9
and we left abt 10:15
when all the vendors had left
and we got the roads ready
to be re-opened by the police
It was a great weekend but it took
 me a few days to recoup

I did borrow 
the following photo
 of the balloon glow
by my friend Alan King
