Sweetheart

Welcome Friends!

Add a little "Sweetheart" to your day!

The Valentines Table scape is from the following post.

Wood Letters are from a darling Etsy shop called Well Good

 and a crafty blog called Craft Goodies.

You will find wonderful wood kits to embellish and decorate.

Craft Goodies is a new sponsor! We Welcome you!

Adorable Spring Kits are available to order.

I am hosting a Valentines Exchange at Craft Goodies.

Be sure to visit!

I was lucky to receive three sets of wood letters to decorate how I choose.

I still have "FAMILY" and "CELEBRATE" to finish!

 My wood letters arrived promptly and packaged nicely and

ready to DECORATE!

I decided to make "sweetheart" for my little daughter's room.

I added fabric flowers, fabric stems along with pink rick rack,

and white bead trim with ribbon.

(You can see more of the true colors in the picture that is taken outdoors).

As I was going through pictures today, I came across this "sweet" picture.

It is one of my favorites. This was a "sweet" day! The weather was

beautiful, two of my children were talking to each other for the longest time,

as they were feeding the ducks.

(Picture taken in Park City, Utah)

We enjoyed watching the Mother duck with her babies.

What A Beautiful World.

Life is Sweet!

4. Add Black Ribbon, pinch the middle of ribbon with pencil,

glue with glue gun.

Welcome "BOO"TI-FUL Friends!

Welcome to a Halloween Lunch!

Please come in "BOO"TI-FUL FRIENDS! 

Welcome to everyone!

FIRST...

 I want to say THANK YOU

to everyone (476 entries) that entered

 My Pumpkin Giveaway

 hosted by Jen at CRAFT-O-MANIAC!

A BIG THANK YOU TO Jen!

I appreciate you all!

Let's get together for a Halloween LUNCH!

Welcome to my HOME!

OCTOBER will soon be here!

It's time to celebrate  LAUGHTER and FUN!

  

New Pumpkins with SPIDERS are a part of the FUN!

Do you remember the HALLOWEEN gift bags?

Well, it's time to put them to use!

You will find your napkin and silverware and a few treats tucked inside!

We all need a little treat once in awhile!

Halloween napkins are made from Moda "Boo TO YOU" fabric!

Bags are trimmed with ric rac, and polka dot ribbons.

You will also find a delicious cupcake

made from Halloween socks in a candy corn dish!

I found the Candy Corn dishes at Target for 2.50 a dish!

I thought they were so cute!

Of course, they would be great with candy corn!

My kids eat them way too fast!
So, it's HALLOWEEN SOCKS!

I found the socks at TARGET in the DOLLAR aisle!

You can find longer socks at JoAnn's!

 (Hurry, they go fast).

Roll and wrap with a ribbon, tuck inside a cupcake liner.

A Fun PARTY TREAT JUST FOR YOU!

I added three of my Halloween with Spiders Pumpkins and Candy Corn Pillows for the centerpiece

One Halloween Quilt along with a lot of

BIG BLACK SPIDERS  from THE DOLLAR STORE!

I found the CANDY CORN and  PUMPKIN Bowls at Target.

I was going to Target for Halloween socks!

It was the Halloween bowls that started all of this!

I will blame it on to the PUMPKIN BOWLS!

I think the PUMPKIN BOWLS would be great for

Potato and Cheese Soup and PUMPKIN BREAD!

I 'm trying to find some HALLOWEEN polka dot plates!

Black with white polka dots would be great!

It was tempting to paint a few polka dots on my

Off-white Fall plates!

Add some more goodies or a "love" note 

in the Halloween gift box!

Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting!

Come back and visit soon!

Have a "BOO"-TI-FUL DAY!

PS.  If you know where I can find some polka dot Halloween plates ..let me know!

Wouldn't it be great to walk into a Quilt Store/Fabric Store that has

matching dishes to match a new line of seasonal fabrics!

I would do cart wheels to find orange polka dot plates!

There are millions of Halloween paper plate patterns!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BILLS FAMILY!

I WILL CONTACT YOU TO PICK  YOUR PUMPKINS FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH!
