Happy Halloween

Maggie and Teagan had a great time Trick-or-Treating. It takes a lot of work to become a beautiful mermaid. We started by putting on the dress and then spray painting the hair.

Here is Auntie Dawn and Teagan spray painting the Mermaid hair.

The finished red headed mermaid.

Then we moved inside for makeup and nails.
The beautiful Mermaid!Then it was Maggie's turn-

Maggie decided she was going to be a Hippie Chick complete with a Fro'

Here she is before the Fro'

And here she is after the Fro'- Lookin' Good Maggie!

Strike a pose-

We had a great time , Teagan was a little slow at first , but once she got the hang of it, she was running to the doors shouting "Trick-or-Treat"!

Next year we are going to have to find a neighborhood that has lots of houses with their lights on! Happy Halloween to all!

Love, Dawn

Hangin' Out With Carter

I spent the night with the Rankin's on Sunday. Carter was very excited to see his Auntie Dawn!

Carter and I spent sometime together, playing on the computer, hanging out in his room playing toys and reading books. Here are some of the pictures that I took playing in his room. Just laying around on the Jungle mat.

He really loves his chewy toys.

Thanks Amber, Scott and Carter for letting me spend the night. I had a great time. And a big thanks to you Amber for my delicious, birthday cake. It was YUMMY!~

Autumn Tag

I decided while I was adding posts I would add 1 more. This is a tag that I created for a group that I belong too. The backgound tag is photo paper, that I colored with Alcohol inks and distress inks. The embleshiments are: grunge board scroll that was inked with vintage photo distress ink, a cloth house that is outlined with a glitter pen, an epoxy title "Home", an inked leaf ribbon, a stamped leaf image that is distressed, inked and outlined with a glitter pen, and a ceramic title "Autumn". I think the alcohol inked background adds a lot of autumn colors that makes the tag look warm and cozy.

Happy Crafting!

Dawn :)

New Layouts- More Halloween :)

Well I guess that I am still in the mood to scrap Halloween, I think that I have almost finished Maggie's Halloween pages. In this LO Maggie was in the 4th grade (you think I'm just a little behind???)It looks really neat, I went to moms last night and got my granny's sewing machine. I have read about sewing on pages and I finally tried it. I added a zigzag stitch on the title border. It just adds a little bit of Oomph. As you can see I haven't done a lot yet, but it's a start.

This layout, for some reason did not scan well at all. But nevertheless its Teagan at the Pumpkin Patch last October. She loved going and picking out her own pumpkin and then carving it at Auntie Dawn's. I think this year she has 7 or 8 pumpkins. Oh well I guess I have been traded in for a new pumpkin picker. :)

Happy Halloween and Happy Crafting! Love to all, Dawn
