A new era...

Even though Adam is going to be only 10 in a month, he has decided that he doesn't want to go Trick-or-Treating this year.  I am quite surprised by this.  If I remember correctly, oh so many years ago, I was about 13 when I decided I was done with it.  He has certainly grown up a lot in the last year or so.  Not exactly sure why he has decided to opt out this year, but I have given him every opportunity to change his mind.  We have decided instead to go out for supper and then we are going to go swimming.  I am actually pretty happy with his decision and I don't have to buy a ton of candy and wait for all the kids to come a knockin'. 

A couple of weekends ago I went to a Friday Night crop at Scrapbooks Made Simple.  I didn't actually do any cropping, but I did make a fun Halloween banner. As mentioned in my last post, I used some spooky images from the Graphics Fairy.  If you haven't checked her out yet, make sure she is on your list of blogs to take a gander at.  I had planned to give it to Adam's teacher to put up in the classroom, but as usual, I never got around to giving it to her.  Now it is sitting here, waiting to be put up next year.  I really need to kick myself if the keester when it comes to my crafts and actually giving them away.  Maybe my Christmas projects will be better for me.  Here's hoping!!
Hope you enjoy it, thanks for looking!

I'm free!

Well, I'm free for another week.  Free from what?  My family.  My boys (son and hubby) have flown the coup for Newfoundland to visit Chris' family. As much as I love them both, I equally love my ALONE time.  I love having the house to myself. The only mess to clean up is my own, the only dishes to wash are my own, the only clothes to clean.........well, you get the picture! 

I can do what I want when I want.  Hell, I could be sitting here on the computer in my 'birthday suit' for all you know!  Lettin' it all hang out, swingin' in the breeze.....

You'll never get that image out of your head will ya?  HeeHee!!

I haven't manage -yet- to get into my craft room.  I have a crop to go to on Friday night and I think I am in the mood for some Halloween magic.  I have never really been into Halloween crafts until the last few years.  I love the colours, and I love the images.  I love bats for Halloween decorating as much as I love snowflakes for Christmas.  If you know me, you know I LOVE snowflakes.  And if you do know me and didn't know how much I love them, where the heck have you been??!! Oh, ya, back to Halloween... So I have been thinking about doing a banner using some graphics from the Graphics Fairy.  I love this gal!  I love the black and white images that she finds and I get really inspired by them.

Here's a peak at one of the images I hope to use.  Once I am done, I will hopefully link up to a few linky parties.  So, I hope you can check back on Monday to see what I came up with!

Have a great rest of the week and maybe I'll manage to put some clothes on the next time I'm on here!!!!
