A HaLLoWeEn Post..!

Ok so instead of multiple posts I thought I would do them all together.....I have to get busy on my girl's costumes, I only have a couple of days left..lol
We made Monster Cookies and put them in these cute bags I did up for our traditional "Booing" in our neighborhood...that was fun!


We carved pumpkins last Mon...for FHE...poor Sabrina got knife happy and her pumpkin became the "faceless" pumpkin lol!

We love pumpkin seeds...YUM!

I made a bunch of ties for Gun...and they turned out soo cute, they are double sided so this one is his "halloween" tie...

This we were on our way to the Pumpkin Patch.....

And this is my door wreath I did awhile back.....I love it...I got the sign at the dollar store and I used black jute, and all kinds of different fabrics for the rosettes! I am in love with lace now! Can't you tell!?:)

Some FuN projects that includes SeWiNg...!

Seriously...I have been on this thing of sewing....I can't STOP....! Everything I see or comes to my mind it has to include sewing! I love to sew I guess and it's fun and something that I feel I get better and better every time I break out the machine...plus I have a gazillion fabric pieces to go along with my ribbon addiction as well...so fun!!
This is a black shirt I got at the dollar store to add these ruffly pieces too...it's a little different from before a little flatter, but I love it! and it is so cute on Bells! WHOOPS...losing my blogging technique..lol...sorry..
A fun pillow I made....ok one thing I do hate about my home is my BEDROOM....ugg I dread that thing....maybe because I am not to crazy for the furniture but can't affort a new set right now...and so I am trying to add as I go....ugg..but the pillow is FAB!!

of course a pic of me and my hunie..!

and bells......cute leg warmers I got from the lovely Holly Brimhall....and I made her cute headband wrap with lace....FUN!!

Ward Trunk R Treat...!

So I realized that I have no pictures of my boys, R.J. was at his football practice before his game that night, in which we went all dressed up... and Colton left across the street to the park where our Ward's Trunk r treat was and didn't see him again until he came up to me with MAJOR Costume {malfunctions.}....I won't embarrass him by posting what happened but he quickly ran home searching for another one...too funny! I have to say that my boys won't let me make thier costumes...but my girls will!! Colton's response was "Mom I know you can do anything...but I think it would be really hard for you to try to make a sword"...um ok son..lol! Actually Bella's was a last minute thing, she was going to be this really cute pirate princess too, but couldn't pull that off...so I thought you can't go wrong with a witch....soo cute! Poor Sabrina bought her costume and it ended up being too big and kinda weird looking so I again...totally last minute..{what a totally awesome mom she has..} put together her pirate princess costume! She wanted to wear Cambrie's pirate costume, but we allknow that you have to buy the biggest size for it to cover all thier bodies...in which they didn't have another size...I still had to have Cambrie wear a tutu under her skirt because I think the costume people want thier butts hanging out..sickos... she also wore black leggings instead of the netted leggings that came with the costume....Netting screams to me skanky..don't know why? I have to say again and again how frustrating it is to find modest costumes that are cute...HA and one of my friends said 'You just wait until High school dances and those dresses..." UGG......I think I may just go do a sewing class so I can learn how to make those for my girls..!! SeRiOuSlY...!! I am soooo trying to be nice here people!!
All and all we had sooo much fun...again I just love to see Bella so excited about things and my other kids....it makes being a mom sooo much fun! It was stinkn freezing though...but alot of fun..we truly have the best ward ever!!!
Cambrie just looks like a pirate princess...she is absolutely gorgeous...I am bragging..!!

So with Sabrina, I sewed her bandana and added an iron on skull to the front of it, made her eye patch complete with blingage...made her tie up corset and belt, and of course the tute...she can't wait to wear it to her school party on Friday....I guess in 6th grade it's the cool thing to be original, and really I don't think she is other than it was made...I think original is something like an Ipod, or one of my YW made her costume out of felt and was a Hershey bar...sooo cute! That's original...hers is just SaSs-eY and DiVa'ISH...LOL

I can't believe Bells left this huge hat on all night....unbelievable!!

{I think I have a "TuTu" obsession...haha!}

This was the night before trying her costume out...

She is sooo dang cute.....you all might get sick of seeing her all girly girl...but do know that I am having a BOY.....!So Bells gets all my girly girl creativeness....hope she doesn't get sick of it! I promised the boys that Gunnar (our baby name) wouldn't have TOO much bling and sass..!!

October {HaLLoWeEn V.T.} Handout.....!

{UM YEAH} a little late......nothing new, but saw this idea and made my own version....too cute!...If you click on pic. you can get this yummy recipe for the {candy corn} pretzel sticks. It's super easy, and really isn't a recipe..haha!

This is the idea I saw...
Mine looks a little different, because the candy corn sticks are tall....lol It looks a whole heck of a lot cuter in person.....

Trip to the Pumpkin patch...!

So we went on Mon. for FHE....and had a good time, the kids still love to do this every year and I am glad!! Some of us weren't decked out in Halloween attire because they weren't home, but that's ok.....Sabrina was bummed. Bells had a blast, I love to see her so excited about stuff!!!

My HaLLoWeEn Card...and some other fun ideas...!

I am never dissappointed when I head on over to my favorite Scrapbook store...which is Scrapbook barn, they always have the cutest ideas for when it comes to making cards...funny I actually saw this online somewhere last year and saved it in my files but over at the store they had the actual pattern to put it together...yeah!! Here are some other ideas I found too that are seriously so cute....
This is my cute card...love the bling and glitter..!
Seriously...how totally cute is this, using a frosting bag...love it!

I really like this idea..

LOVE black licorice..!

Cute Mummy Card..!

Here is the "other" version...too cute!

Halloween Jars...!

I saw these from various blogs and decided to try them out with Sabrina....we had sooo much fun making these! Super easy too! Get some jars, various sizes, get your mod podge and put a thin coat on the jar and put strips of tissue paper on top and press slightly to smooth out, not to hard or you'll rip the paper. I downloaded "punkinhead" font (free) for the faces cut those out and mod podged them on, let it dry and then added ribbon and tulle. Insert tealight candles, Christmas lights or those battery operated tealights and VOILA...super cute !! Next I want to do some with words and different looking jars......
