Feelin' A Little Crafty

Even here in hot and sunny F-L-A we are getting ready for Fall! We had a "cool front" pass through over the last couple of days and it's been pleasant outside. Still about 85 but very low humidity and lots of breeze.

I love Fall & Christmas and live through all of you that have changing leaves and frost on the ground. Halloween is my favorite holiday I think and I made a couple of Halloween pieces to get things started...

This is a plain wood frame from The Dollar Store, painted black over orange and sanded to give it that distressed look. Then covered with a mixture of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. I used a piece of scrapbook paper for the background, stamped out a small tag and added some aged cheesecloth and sweet annie under the glass...


Aren't these the cutest little witches ever?? This is an altered image from Kris Hurst at Blissfull Elements ...I have her image CD's and use the pictures for tons of stuff.




All little witches have to have rules...



I don't completely agree with the "No turning boys into toads" thing, but whatever....

These little putka pods look just like tiny jack pumpkins..and they are covered in cinnamon, too..
And...here's the back. Just left in it's pristine, found condition...can we all say "1980's country stuff"??? Just a thrifted kitchen cutting board...




"Happy Fall" !!

Now I just love that! You're getting me in the mood to decorate with my own creations, not "store bought" ones!

Those are so cute, I just love the little witches. I feel ashed I haven't made any fall decor and my house is all in one piece. Hope your house is back together now.

Hugs,

Well, I KNOW how talented you are...and these creations just show it even more! I have been putting out my Fall and Halloween treasures and I am having such fun with all the goodies I won from you last year. I even kept the box they came in! I mean, that box was a treasure all by itself!

Love,
Sue
