The Spooky Craftroom!

My husband does not like Halloween. I know. I can hear some of you groaning. But, since he is so nice to me all year about all my decorating and DIY projects, I don't complain. I just do Fall, and then we are both happy.

This year I joined Sandy and Deb's Halloween Swap and I actually explored my Spooky Side! My partner was Linda from LBD Sews.

I had a great time making and finding spooky items for Linda, because I knew she loved Halloween!

I made this tag and found these vintage items.

I turned the cookie cutter right side up and made a 3D ornament.

The underside says, "boo"!

I wrapped everything up in this cute Halloween box!

And, off it went to Linda's house!

Too much fun!

Thank you Sandy and Deb, for hosting!

Fall Swap Fun!

My swap box arrived at our P. O. several days ago, but I was only able to pick it up on Saturday. I felt like a child waiting for my surprise!
My partner was Linda, from LBP Sews. And, boy was I ever excited that talented Linda was my partner! The box was decorated with adorable stickers! So festive and so me!

I opened my box and right on top was this darling triangle banner/tag piece! I love these sweet little mice!

All tuckered out from a days gardening work!

So cute!

The box was filled with cute and colorful little packages!

Such fun to open each one!

I love this little bird!

Look at this sweet little cookie-cutter! The scarecrow is a picture of MY scarecrow in my garden! Linda!!!! What a sweet idea, to use the scarecrow my dad and sister made! I love it so much!

Lots of sweetness! Crafty supplies, scarecrows, even a sweet yellow hanky!


BINGO!
These sweet treats are so me!

I am not a candy eater, but wouldn't you know, I love, love, love these orange sugary gummy pumpkins. Even my husband said, "how did she know?"

Thank you so much Linda for my sweet box brimming with Fall Cheer. I hope you like the Halloween box I sent. I had fun letting my "spooky side" out!

And thank you to Sandy and Deb for hosting this fun cookie cutter swap!
