Happy Halloween!

This is the pendant I made to wear this year to celebrate Halloween.

I love Tim Holtz watch case pendants, anything you decide to put in them looks great! Hope everyone has an exciting Halloween!

Breaking Dawn Fever!! Literally >:(

Well, as any Twilight fan can tell you, tonight is the premiere of Breaking Dawn 1. I am a Twilight fan, and not only because of the books, and the movies...but also for the CRAFTING!!
I was supposed to board a plane yesterday bound for my old stomping grounds in Florida for a Breaking Dawn Extravaganza with 15 other great girls. But instead I am stuck here at home with bronchial pneumonia. Major BUMMER!!!
The best part of this Extravaganza was that each gal was making a Twilight themed craft for everyone. My task was to make charm bracelets, similar to Bella's with a wolf charm and a crystal heart charm. I had already finished all the bracelets before getting sick, so I mailed them to FL, and hopefully they will arrive in time!



I also added an acrylic charm made with either the Breaking dawn cover image or a picture of Edward, Bella and Jacob. I used Tim Holtz acrylic Fragments and Glossy Accents to make them.

I also made special pendant necklaces for me and my bestie:

I made little purse boxes with paper rolled roses for each bracelet:



Well, at least my bracelets will make the premier party, even if I don't.



I'd invite you to my pity party, but I'm probably contagious! LOL >:(

Crafty Sistas!

My sister came to visit us this weekend and we did a whole lotta crafting in a short amount of time...it was great!!

I wanted to try some pumpkin painting, so I picked up some medium sized black pumpkins at Mike's and we free hand painted them with fabric paints. The kind in the squeezy bottles.

Sister's:



This was fun, but time consuming...I had debated about buying the large pumpkins for this craft. Thank goodness I didn't or we never would have finished!

Then we made some bird cage pendant necklaces using Tim Holtz bird cages. I love how these turned out! I put an owl in my cage and my Sissy put a raven in hers. Then of course we added some dangle charms too.

It was an awesome weekend that also included bowling, fall festivaling and movie watching at home and at the theatre! Love having visits from my sister, miss you Jay! xoxo
