Well, tomorrow is my official last day over at Erica's Craft & Sewing Center. I will definitely miss the wonderful, wonderful people I have worked with the last two years. I have a new job that begins Monday, I am pretty excited about it, but wish I could take my coworkers with me. I will still help out at Erica's a few days next month, but after that I am done so I can pursue a few other creative things. It will be nice to have a bit of free time. :)
I am happy to say I am a member of the DT over at Sketches - Creatively Yours beginning November 1. Can't wait to play with the faboo sketches, I have a few ideas mulling around right now and as soon as I have a wee bit of time I will be scrapping away! Can't wait to work with the talented ladies over there, hope you pop over and say hello. My little grandson will be turning one on Sunday, and I am still finishing up a few party decorations. Not to mention his album! ;) Two weeks later his sister will turn two. November is a busy month around here! :)
Don't forget about the blog candy contest I have going. I will have to extend the date that I will post the winner until the end of next week since the next few days are very busy and chaotic, so I have also extended the date to sign up to be a follower until Friday November 6 at midnight (EST). I will throw a few more fun things into the prize package for the delay. Kind of like blog candy interest. :) Alrighty then? Don't forget to stop over at Sketches - Creatively Yours and say hello.
I will post a tutorial for you all next week too. Stay tuned! ;)
Have a fantastic weekend!

Holy COW, what a week!
Oh my word, the days just get busier all the time!!! It has been even more crazy busy around here the last few weeks. Cooper's birthday party is next Sunday, so I am trying to finish up some last minute projects for his album, and gather all the things together I made. With our lss closing (so sad about this!!!) I need to get the things I want scanned and printed dropped over there soon. I have Kaya's album to finish by November 15 too! I have lots more pics to cut and add a bit of cardstock to for the party on Sunday, and of course nothing is wrapped for the birthday boy (who will be one next Sunday, can you believe it???). Then there are those two crockpots full of chili I will be making for the party on Sunday too........... woooo, busy week!
Here is one of the last layouts I did about Cooper for my lss, it was a sketch assignment (isn't he a cutie???) -
I also have fun news I can't wait to share, but I can't do so until after the 29th. I am very excited!!!! Plus I am still working on table runners and placemats. I am just finishing my 6th table runner. Yep, that is right ~ 6 of those figgy pudding fabric tablerunners, and I love them all! Giving them away will be tough, but seriously, how many table runners made out of the same fabric, no matter how fun and fabulous, does a person need? ;)
I finished a nifty little project for Zutter today, can't wait till you can all peek at it on the Zutter site! Please stop by and tell me what you think. I will email you a little template I did for part of the project if you stop in and say hello. I am pretty sure the new projects will be posted this week here.
I am also starting to gather things together for the card making party with friends I am having at my house on November 7, can't wait for that, and of course it is going to be a busy week at work too.
Don't forget about the blog candy I have going right now. Deets are listed in the two posts below. Hope you all have a fantastic and safe week. I'll catch up with you later!

A little reminder - don't forget about signing up to be follower on my blog, there is blog candy involved. :)
Here are the deets again, in case you missed them in my previous post -the cards are some that I made, each has a sentiment inside. The best wishes card has a happy birthday stamp inside, the joy cutie pie card says love you inside, and the Love is bearing all things card has a thanks stamp inside. Great for those last minute card needs!
PLUS I will include a fat quarter of fabric from my stash. A fat quarter is a piece of fabric sized about 18" x 22", so it is a nice size to use in scrappy projects, or to make a litle wallet, purse, etc... The winner can choose the color and type (color, old fashioned, floral, text, print, Moda or Halvorsen print, etc...) and I will include that as well. There will also be some ribbon included. So it is a fun blog candy, don't you think? ;) Plus if you post about my blog candy on your blog with a link back here, I will throw in two extra fat quarters of fabric and some vintage trim. Fun stuff! The contest runs through October 31, and the drawing will be held November 1st.
I hope you all have a fabulously crafty scrappy week! Happy blog hopping!!!

What I have been up to this weekend, and Blog candy!
Hello! I am busy sewing and scrapping this weekend. Here is what I have finished sewing so far (except the bit of handsewing and then stitch in the ditch quilting I still have to do)-
a little close up -
if you will be at Sew B on Tuesday night, this is the project I am teaching (email to follow with fabric requirements). You can make either a one, two, or three square tablerunner. Use any fabric you like! I used Basic Grey Figgy Pudding by Moda, but this project is perfect for a variety of fabrics, including scraps.
I posted a card I just finished for WCMD on the Zutter site. I cut everything out last weekend, and had to finish it this weeekend cause I ran out of time! The contest at Zutter runs til October 16, so there is still time to join in. Hope to see you there!
I thought it was a good time for a contest.
Sooooooooo, about that blog candy.........if you sign up to be follower of my blog your name will be put in a drawing for a lovely prize. Easy peasy contest, doncha think? ;) Anybody already signed up as a follower will also be in the drawing. Once you are a follower, here is what you are in the drawing for -

Last item!
Here is the last item for the Cutlte bug Challenge Birthday Palooza! Five challenges when all was said and done, and I am pleased to say I was able to accomplish all of them. Here is the final challenge (a thank you card)-
Here is what I did before this -
I had a faboo time in Frankenmuth this weekend with two friends. We shopped pretty much til we dropped! Lots and lots and LOTS of walking and shopping. Great time, yummy food, and fabulous purchases. Here we are in front of an area at RiverPlace -
Now I am off to finish a card for the World Card Making festivities at both Citrus Tree Studio, and Zutter Zisters. You should go check them out if you have a minute!
Hope you all have a happy, scrappy, and creative week!
