Grandma's Heirlooms


Happy Halloween! A couple years back my mother made the boys their costumes, the oldest was a cowboy, the youngest an indian. When they are little you can dress them up in such fun and cute things. This year: a wizard and Spiderman. Funny thing is that we don't really do the normal trick or treating-we just stop by the grandparents, great-grandparents and a few aunts and uncle's houses and the boys get enough treats that way!


I have a Creative Contributor post up today over at The Project Girl (Jen Allyson's blog) where I am featuring the Gertie "Girly" Stamps from the Stella and Rose Collection. Beautiful doily stamps I must say! This is one of three cards showcased in an inspiration parade. I'd love for you to stop by to check out the post and the other two cards!


This past weekend (October 29th) I also had a project go live on the Clear & Simple Daily App! A little crafty goodness in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

  20. Such a beautiful card with the soft doilies and the bold sentiment. Did I mention beautiful???

  21. Light and lacey are such a great contrast with the sentiment! Your sons do the type of trick or treating that I did as a child. Relatives always give the best goodie bags, plus it is hard to go trick or treating when you don't live in a "neighborhood" of close houses.
