Mornin' y'all and happy Friday! Did you have a good Halloween? The hubs took Ryan (as Iron Man) out trick-or-treating while I handed out candy. We had LOTS of trick-or-treaters of all ages and despite having a huge bag of candy, we ran out around 7:45...notes for next year. I thought it was funny how many teenagers looked at our inflatable decorations and talked about how much they love Bluey : ) One girl came up to the porch and I immediately said "Fa Mulan!" and her dad told his wife, "See? SHE knows!" so apparently not everyone knew what the girl's costume was. But of course I recognized the hero who saved China.
Anyway, Halloween cards may be done for the year but I'm still making fall cards!
I tried twice and could NOT get that sentiment to be straight on the die cut. I tried stamping first, then die cutting--crooked. So I die cut, then stamped--still crooked. So now I'm chalking it up to handmade charm.
Check out this week's Color Throwdown:
Pretty! I used Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, and Copper Clay, and grounded those warm shades with some rich Early Espresso for the background. I turned this week's Freshly Made Sketch on its side:
And now my brain is considering other options for this sketch, so we'll see if anything comes of that.
In other news, I had to go to the UPS Store this morning after I dropped Ryan off at school, and that just so happens to be adjacent to Walmart and they have their Halloween stuff 50% off. LOOK WHAT I SCORED!
Aaahhhhh I'm so excited to have this up next year. Even more excited that I only paid half price. I also bought some Baby Ruths for half price because Ryan only brought me ONE in his entire candy haul last night. (He doesn't like them so I get to eat them! Sadly for me he DOES like Twix...)
Have a great day, y'all!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun Halloween! That is a FUN 50% score! My daughter called those kinds of things "blow-uppers", so that is what they are. We don't have any blow-uppers for any holiday and that is a fact that bothers her. But more than half of our neighbors do, so that's okay with me, haha!
Beautiful fall design! Handmade is always perfect. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
