Tricks or Treats

Happy Halloween to all! Wow October 31st already! Where has this month gone to? Well I know I have been just busy around the home with the kids, and getting ready for some upcoming shows. I wanted today to post some of the halloween pics of my two boys (Adam, 10 and Zach 12) ...and the house that is totally wind blown from todays weather! That's okay ~ we still had some fun. This year the pumpkin carving was taken from the Adam's Family ~ we love that movie! The weather around here just as not been nice at all. Maybe it will be a easy winter ~ anyway just wishing all my readers a Happy Halloween and see you in November! ~~Bobbie

Time for Snowmen

Hello to all! It has been awhile and I am sorry since my last blog! Keeping busy with my family and preparing for the next show ~ My youngest had surgery last week that I had to tend to ...and he is on the mend. The weather this week has been not so nice ...rain, rain go away! We just have not had the best fall around my neck of the woods. Anyway I have been putting together some of my twig wall baskets with snowmen, gingerbread and candy canes ...along with a beeswax battery candle ...they are darling. I am posting one of them here ...I will have one style in my store and a variety at the next show (priced from $35 and up) ...come and join me November 7th at St. Thomas More in Elgin....many wonderful crafters will be there which is sure to be a busy day....time to start that Christmas shopping! I will also have some of the last pumpkins with crows for the rest of the harvest season ...they too are adorable. I am busy working on Winter and Christmas so be sure to check out my store. I am always here for any special requests that you may have as well. Etsy is showcasing the rest of my halloween and it is on sale there, so head on over when you have the chance. Don't forget that my treasure box is also on sale in my store ...it has lots of great surprises at a great price. Well, that is all for now ...I hope that you are all doing well! Til next time ~~Bobbie

October ...Already?

It seems like yesterday that I was waiting for Spring to arrive ... and now it is the first week in October! The mums are in full bloom ... the chill is in the air....and the leaves on my front tree are starting to change....am I ready for this new season to be here I ask myself. It is my favorite time of the year, but for some reason this year is different for me. My home that is always done in the season is done simly this time and for the halloween, well I can say I got the outside decorated tonight and it looks nice. Maybe tomorrow some of my witchy things will come out and scatter about. I think that I am crafting so much for the next few shows that I am just too busy to do my own stuff. I love what I have been doing and maybe that is where my heart has been. Keeping all that I want to accomplish is sometimes harder than what it seems to be. Well I must get back to some staining ...just wanted to get my first blog in for the month. Yes, I am still going to do a giveaway, just have not had the time to get it together...soon though! Be sure to check back. Til then may your day be blessed! ~~Bobbie
