Happy Sunday before Halloween!

It's the Sunday before Halloween and you just decided that you want to make something really cute to hand out to the Trick or Treaters this year...what to do? what to do? 

Have I got a SUPER CUTE Project for you! 

You can make these Super Easy and Super Cute Owl Treat Bag Holders.  (they would also make excellent goodie bags for Halloween Parties) 

When I went out to buy candy for my treat bags I had to have it color coordinate! 

And lucky for me, these Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Bats packaging matches PERFECT! lol 

One of the owl's eyes are completely round.  And the other's are scalloped circles.  The white's in thier eyes were made using a white pen. The white pen that I recommend is the Uni-Ball Signo.  I've tried other white pens but I really do love this one! 

These treat bags were super fast to put together and you can customize one to be a girl just by simply putting a ribbon in "her hair".  By chance I had this orange and black dotted ribbon in my stash and it matched perfectly!

Happy Halloween! 

Boo!

It feels like it's been awhile since I blogged last.  In the last month I've had SO much going on!  My annual trip to Vegas for Teresa Collins Vegas Event, My Birthday (we won't talk about that) and getting ready and making things for a BIG Two Day Craft Show that I've been participating in for the past few years. 

I could tell you lots about the above, but I think it's best we move on to HALLOWEEN! 

Did I type that in all Caps? 

Yes!  I did! 

I LOVE HALLOWEEN! 

It's not the candy, because I really don't eat that much candy anymore.  And it's not the costumes that people wear.  Okay, to be truthful...I hide on Halloween Night.  Yes...I one of those!  lol. 

So what is it about Halloween that I love?  It's the COLORS!  Purples,and Greens, and Black (which is actually my FAVORITE color) and well, the combination of all the colors just makes me happy! 

This month for my first project I made the Fall Pillow Boxes from My Scrap Chick.  The little Pillow Boxes are SO cute that they can make anyone happy!  And as I was making them I actually WAS happy!  Here's a photo...you tell me...don't the colors just MAKE you Happy? 

To be totally honest...I LOVE owls, so the Owl Fall Pillow Box makes me very Happy! 

The Pillow Boxes are the perfect size to fill and hand out to trick or treaters...or for office gifts....or to students in your classroom?  Or, just make them for yourself! 

But that's not all I made!

No...it's not. 

I also decided that i wanted to make a "FALL" Box.  Like a Pumpkin.  So I DID! 

I used an embossing folder for the leaves, and for the vines I twirled paper around a pencil. 

The Pumpkin Box would be a great Teacher Gift...just fill it with a treat and send it to school to your favorite teacher.  

 And...if you think they did too and you want to make that it's REALLY easy to do!
