Haloween Treats

I am linking up to The Graphics Fairy For

So this year I thought maybe it would be a good idea to get treats for my sweet Sunshine and Moonshine classes that were not sweets. (know what I mean?)  At Costco they had the Halloween Pop Corn such a great treat.  I was also hoping that there would be some extra bags left for me to eat all by myself  my children.  Okay me being me I could not let the children hand out the treats in the original form.  No that would not do.  So I looked over at The Graphics Fairy and found so me really cute graphics. (of course)  I used the graphics in a graphics program and added text in the Bleeding Cowboys Font which you can download Here

  
This is what I came up with.  I put two to a sheet and then just cut the sheet in half.  They turned out pretty well.  Just remember if you have two kids you have to change who they are from before you print.  My son almost had half his class done in treats saying they were from his sister.  Live and learn.

You can make it blank instead of putting the recipients name.  I made a few of these because he could not remember all the names of the kids in class.

 

We had fun and I think they all turned out great.  I know this is kind of late to post as an idea but I only did it last night and I know there are more procrastinators like me out there!  You still have time!

Happy Halloween!

I found this lamp at the Thrift Store.  Only $4 I thought that was a steal!  It had a shade but I forgot to take the photo of it.

The lamp was cute the way it was but I wanted it for my work space in the laundry room.  So it had to be cream!  I also had to change the shade because it was burgundy.  I covered the shade in Scrapbook paper and added a little ribbon bow.  (hope it's safe to have a paper shade)

 

This is what it looks like in the space.  I am pretty happy with how it all turned out.

Okay so I bought this frame on sale at K-Mart for $5 from the clearance rack.  I had put up my fall decor and needed something Halloween.

So I decided to print the letters B O O and a little clip art I found online on orange card stock.  I also printed the words Trick Or Treat then ripped them out.  Added a little of my scrapbook stuff I came up with this.

I was pretty happy with my quick and easy project.  It did the trick.  Here it is on the mantle.  Let me know what u think.

Home Again

So let me start by introducing myself, I am Tara a wife, mother and by His grace a child of God.  Often I stumble but He always picks me up again.  I live on 34 beautiful acres with my hubby, my 9 yr. old daughter "Sunshine" and my 8 yr. old "Moonshine".  I have good days and bad days but I am thankful for everyday with my family.  I hope to get to know you and share this beautiful yet crazy life.
