Craft Fair Fun

WOW! Have I been MIA or what! I can't believe I have gone so long without a post. Life has been so crazy and between workshops, classes, kids, husband, and work I just let my blog slip my mind. Sad I know and I promise to try harder to be more consistent :) A local pastor and his wife want to take a trip to Romania and the community has come together to help raise funds to send them on a journey that will touch many hearts! I was asked to donate some handmade items to sell and here is one I came up.
 

How cute are these little guys! Santa's Elves :) I just love them!

Frankenstein has been spotted!

I was recently blog surfing and ran across a site called www.MyChicnScratch.com She had some cute projects on her site including some Halloween boxes. With her inspiration I came up with this super cute treat box. Each time I look at these boxes I find myself talking to them :-) LOL! Here they are!

I just love the size of these boxes. They fit Halloween candy perfect. I have now changed my mind on my Halloween handouts. It will now be these boxes! I have cut everything already, now I just need to put together about 100 more boxes!
