Happy Halloween




HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone. Hope ya'll had a safe evening. What a great evening for all the ghost and goblins, especially for this cute witch (Kloe) and angel (Carrie). These girls belong to my BFF Reina and her hubby Tom. But, I'm AUNT LOIS and they will let you know. We had a great time taking the girls for their first time to Trick or Treat. They, along with me, got tired after about an hour or so. It was a beautiful fall day, with NO RAIN. The girls couldn't figure out how come the moon was out and it wasn't dark yet. How funny! Explain that one to 5 yr olds.
Anyways, a great time was had by all. Hope all your little ghosts and goblins had a great trick or treat night and arrived back home safe and sound.
That's it for tonight. Thanks for stoppin by. And again....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Me and Neil McCoy

Good morning ladies. Having a great day? It's pretty windy here and suppose to rain, at least it's not ice (yet).

Today, I'm sharing a photo of me and Neil Mc Coy. Went to Branson yesterday afternoon and met up with Reina and her DH. We had dinner at Olive Garden (yummy) and then went to Yakaov's Show Palace and watched the Nevada, MO Show Choir open up for Neil Mc Coy. No Doudt About It (one of his songs) he can put on a show. One great entertainer. We had the best time. I'm a fan of Neil McCoy, so it was so fun for me. The Show Choir did an awesome job also, they are very entertaining. Tom is very proud of his students at Nevada, MO.

That's it for today, haven't had time to make a thing the past couple of days, so I'll see what I can get done today. Hubby will be leaving sometime today. :(

Have a great day and have a safe weekend. Happy Halloween everyone. Thanks so much for stopin by, come back now ya' hear. Keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Tags or Ornament


Good Morning ladies. Hope your Wednesday is going great so far. It's a nice sunny day here in SW MO, enjoying it while we can, rain is on it's way again. At least it's not snow or ice, yet! My hubby and I are getting ready to join my bff and her hubby to go to Branson. We'll be seeing Neil McCoy and I'm really excited. Maybe photos tomorrow of Neil!
Today, I'm sharing either a tag or ornament that Vicki and I did last night. Vicki and Debbie were here for some stampin fun. While Debbie did her SAS, we did some tags/ornaments. They are very cute.
Started out with Whisper White c/s and Scalloped Nestie for the base, then cut Taken with Teal and Ruby Red with the Circle Nestie. The snowflake is CB die and swiss dot folder, the center is from Serene Snowflakes (current mini) stamped in Taken with Teal and Ruby Red. Finished off with some pearl stickers and silver cording.
That's it for today. Have a great Wednesday. Thanks for stoppin by. Keep on stampin, it's good for your soul.

Vintage Elegant Ornament

Good evening ladies. Hope your Monday went well. All is great here.
I'm going to make this short tonight.

I made this ornament while watching Dancing With the Stars (love that show), I got my inspiration from SCS http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1517530.

I used the stamp set Serene Snowflakes, stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Very Vanilla, sponged the edges with Creamy Carmel (I was going for the vintage look). I used 3 different sized circle, 1 size scalloped Nestie. The circle in the middle is Rich Razzleberry. The swirly things are from Floral Accents shapeabilities. The center was punched out with 1/2" punch and popped up. I finished off with Purely Pomegranate Satin Ribbon (retired) and some 1/2 pearl stickies.
Each layer except for the first 2 are popped up. (My husband said it was "pretty" LOL)

That's it for tonight, have a great Tuesday! And thanks so much for stoppin by. Keep on stampin, it's good for your soul. Ya'll come back ya hear!
