Halloween Banner

In my previous post I mentioned that I was inspired. I'm so loving the Cherry Hill Cottage blog. Tina Smith has such a beautiful home, very cozy and sweet.

Her daughter made a very cute Halloween banner and I thought, "I can make one" and I did.

It took almost no time to make. Just cut the Pumpkin Pie CS with my scallop square die, some retired Halloween DSP with the scallop circle die #2, and the letters for Halloween with my large Serif alphabet dies, then assembled. I used some cute black and white gingham ribbon to string it together and added some retired Old Olive buttons to finish it off.

I'm inspired

Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed. My full time job is consuming my days so much that I'm just worn out by 5:00. I have almost no energy to do anything but fix dinner for my family, play with my girls and head to bead. I'm sure you've noticed that the blog post have been pretty scarce.

Well I just got back from Canton today. I've mentioned Canton before, see this post. I went with my friends Jennie and Emily and met my BF Aimee there. I love Canton, the new, the old, the junk. I'm renewed, I'm inspired. I'm already planning my next trip.

I visited some of my favorite spots and found new ones. One of my favorite stops is LaurieAnna's. She has a new store and I had to stop off at it. It was just like the booth at Trade Days, crammed full of great stuff. Checking out her website I've come across some new blogs in the process and wanted to share them you.

Jeannie's Stamp Camp

I was very fortunate to be able to attend my upline Jeannie's Stamp Camp last Saturday. We made some very cute cards. In a couple of weeks I'll be attending my downline Lacey's and a few weeks later I'll be having one of my own. I have not come up with a single card....I better get crackin'!
