Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday to you! I don’t know about you all, but I’m in a pretty good mood right now. I’ve just come home from shopping and lunch out with Glammie. Nothing like a little retail therapy to cure all that ails you, right? And we even managed to find a few sales, and that makes things even better. Needed to find some pants for Peter, as now that the weather is getting cooler in the morning, we’re starting to think about pants again. Went through his dresser and discovered he was down to one pair of khakis and one pair of jeans that still fits. That’s just not going to cut it. We found a couple of jeans on sale for him and now I’ve just got to try to twist his arm to try them on, which is a whole other struggle in itself. Also found a couple of clearance shorts, so snagged those up, too. Found one small thing for Nik, and picked up a little something for myself while we were at it. I am SO excited about my little find……..but I’m not going to tell you all yet. The thing that we found leads into other things that are needed to complete the whole look…..you know how that goes. (I need to stay away from Pottery Barn). Glammie and I decided that we can try to make this project ourselves, and that’s what we are going to work on this afternoon when Nik gets home. Hopefully I can show you all tomorrow!! Tee hee! I’m practically giddy. Hope it turns out half as cute as the display at Pottery Barn.
But before I go get Nik, I want to share my card for the Sketch This blog this week. Sketch #68.
So cute, isn’t it? Here is my card.
I’m sure you all are not in the least bit surprised to see a Halloween card, are you? I’ve got Halloween on the brain. It just makes me happy, and……..I used up some old, old scraps for this so I feel thrifty, too boot. The paper is from Reminisce and KI, and that spider……my gosh is he ever OLD. It’s from a die-cut sheet from Carolee’s that my friend Kathie gave me years ago. Feels good to use it finally. I did some machine stitching around each piece of paper, and gave the spider a hand-stitched web. I free-handed a little speech bubble and stamped the greeting with my tiny Hero Arts alphabet stamps. I always feel good when I break out my stamps, too. Yup….it’s a feel good kind of day.
Time for me to get started on that new project. Wish me luck!
Have a great day everyone!
Audrey, that is just the cutest card ever!!!! LOVE that little spider.
What a great card, Audrey!
(You’re totally getting me in the mood for Halloween! I even started today… I picked up some Halloween candy! LOL!
ahhhhhh! I LOVE this card Audrey! I have always loved halloween! YAY! Can’t wait to pull the decorations out! Maybe this weekend!
That card is so cute! Now you’ve got me wondering what this new project is all about. Can’t wait to see it!
