Happy Halloween!!!

This evening is one of my favorite holiday's, where little kids get to dress up & be anyone they want to be along with playing outside after dark while going door to door for treats.  At work today, we had a Halloween Tailgating Party (Go Chiefs!!) where I made treat bags for every one on the team I work on along with a couple of my husband's work buddies as well.  It was pretty funny seeing grown adults dressing up in Halloween outfits & thought it was nice to have my little treat bags when they walked by and 'trick-or-treated' in my cubical.  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project!

When life gives you lemons...

The project that I have to share is a card that I made for my sister & brother-in-law to remind them to think positive thoughts.  They have had several 'issues' happen around their house, the latest major issue being a storm causing their roof to leak that damaged their ceiling and walls, which were just finished with a hand designed painted finish in their house.  While starting to repair the damage, they found a blessing out of the mess, being that they caught a pipe that was not installed properly & was able to have it fixed correctly during the repairs.  I made the card to remind them that I am here for them if they need anything and try to remind them that good things can come out of bad situations.

Thanks a Melon

The project that I have to share is a card that I made for a friend of mine to say 'thank you' for a beautiful bracelet that she brought me back from Kenya, Africa on a visit she just got back from.  We both worked on the same team at our previous job and have kept in touch after both of us leaving for other jobs.  Last summer she became an American Citizen after leaving her home country of Africa, so when I found the plaid paper with the red, white & blue I thought it would be cute to use the paper on my card.  Hope you like the card & thanks for stopping by and checking out my project.
