This week, I am going to be featured on the Silhouette blog - they will be highlighting me and my designs, and will show some things I've been working on and a few things others have created with my designs. Here are a few now...
I'm in a gratious mood lately, can you tell? :)
They also started a free download of the week, and asked me to create one - so here's the free download for this week:
... and another design I submitted this week...
We just finished with the Halloween rush, and we did some pumpkin carvings for the site, too...
A witch's hat...
A fall leaf embellishment...
(It's a tradition at my parent's house to have meatloaf in a pumpkin the sunday closest to Halloween. My mom usually draws a smiley face on the pumpkin, but carved this into it instead.) Notice Loni's spider and web design on the pumpkin on the right. She also mentions the meatloaf in a pumpkin on her blog.
We also had a monster salad for dinner with the meatloaf. Notice we had weeds and grass and goblin fingers and mummy wraps... you get the idea...
And played Halloween Bingo where we used pictures instead of numbers...
And a cute kid in costume. This is my nephew. His big brother helped with the face paint. I think his dad wore the same costume when he was that age!
Here are a few other project I've done in the past month or so. Some friends from the ward came over and learned to preserve apples. Some sisters in the ward had apples they weren't going to use, so we took the opportunity to learn how to make applesauce and apple pie filling. I think there were 7 of us in all, and we did 137 bottles of apples (give or take a few). It was a lot of fun, but I thought we'd never see the end to all those apples. Our floor is still sticky in spots, but it was great to be able to get together and learn from one another. None of us knew exactly what we were doing, but with all of our knowledge put together, I'm pretty sure we made some great botchulism-free apples. :)
The last project I'll mention is these really cool paper lanterns I found on a blog I follow. I usually catalogue idea after idea (or recipe after recipe) but never get around to doing any of them. But during General Conference, Chris and I made some of these and have received a lot of compliments on them. I had a few friends over this weekend and we made some for them, too. We used scrapbook paper and used fall colors for one friend and Christmas colors for the other. I think they will turn out great! We used the larger c9 christmas bulb strands. They turned out really cute! We will probably do some halloween ones next year...
Phew! That's it. And about time! Are you seriously still here reading? Hard core! ;)
