Happy Halloween!

I got up early this morning and decided to make these for the two little girls that live next to me.  I figure they will be around later trick or treating.  We don't normally get many kids knocking and having been sick for the last 10 days with some flu bug and conjunctivitis I haven't really felt like decorating the house and being in the mood for Halloween... LOL

and I made this version for my friend's grandson, as I am sure he will be by this evening to visit with his Gran.  

My poor Mum and I have been ill since the day after she arrived for her two week holiday,,, so you can imagine how annoying it is to know that she is leaving on Sunday and we have managed to only do a handful of the things that we planned... poop.  

Anyways, Happy Halloween to everyone, hope you have a lovely evening with lots of little ghosties popping by!!

Christmas Cards

I had a great day on Wednesday with Brigette and Odelia making Christmas cards... I have to admit they made heaps more than I did.... I think I spent too much time faffing about and chatting!! It was lovely and at least I have made a start...

This is my black and silver version... I think its quite sophicated really!! ;)

Another of the tag pocket version but using lovely My Minds Eye Christmas papers. 

Oh and when I downloaded the cards I found these on the camera... here is Fred the Dead in my front garden for Halloween!

The big tombstone had flashing red eyes and don't you like the spiders on poor Fred's head? Oddly, it was all the Dad's that brought their kids trick or treating that loved Fred...

My Mum is coming to stay in a few weeks - so we ordered her a new bed and mattress and it arrived on Friday and is now all made up and ready for her... though I think another little lady has already staked her claim to it....

Hope Mum doesn't mind sharing....
