Gift bag for a co-worker who loves Halloween almost as much as I do

I love tags. They bring me a little joy everytime I make one. They are so cute on kraft bags. It's my favorite way to wrap a gift. They double as a card and a decoration for your bag. No wonder they make me happy.

Subway Art Tags

The Subway Art is sewn onto the sides and bottom of the tag to form a pocket for a gift card, money or a note.

Halloween Countdown

I've been anxiously awaiting my favorite holiday all year long and it's finally here!

I made these little countdown blocks to keep track (been counting for 2 months now).

I had to scale back my decorating this year because I am having a baby shower for my newest

grandbaby. I think the house still looks great and I am happy with what I have crafted.

Have a great Halloween!!

All dressed up and ready to celebrate

Trick or Treat Banner and Spooky Sign

My wicked little heart is filled with joy. My halloween decorations are coming out of the closet.
I have been working on Halloween crafts. The house is finally feeling like home.
I can't wait to finish decorating. Then I will have to work on convincing #1 daughter to make caramel apples with me. Every year she tells me that she is never making them again. Every year we make them again!!! She loves Halloween as much as I do, so I'm hoping she won't put up too much of a fight.

Love is all you need

This is the wall between my craft room & Honey's train room.

My craft room is a work in progress. I am always moving, changing, and rearranging as new pieces and supplies arrive mysteriously into the room. Family and friends have decided I am a hoarder. I tell them it's not so, but they insist. I have been ~~hoarding~~ collecting for quite some time. At times, in an effort to cure me of my ~~hoarding~~ collecting, they go "shopping" in my room. Of course, "shopping" means using my goods for their projects. I don't mind their "shopping". Therefore, I am convinced that they are incorrect in their diagnosis.
