Hallowe'en Kit !

Here's a little kit for Hallowe'en !! The kit makes 6 cute little treat bags - just big enough for a few kisses, some caramels, and a nice big gummy worm !! These bags take no time to make and would be great little treat bags for friends or family ... ( hint ... adults like them too !)

The kit contains :
6 paper treat bags 3"x5.5"
precut, pre-inked paper rectangles
paper trim
prepunched, pre-inked scalloped rounds
pre-stamped theme rounds
pop dots
instructions

All you need to supply are : scissors & a glue stick.(oh, and the candy for inside ...)
The kits are $4.99. They will be available at the store BUT ... if you don't live near the store, you will be able to buy them in my ETSY shop !! (see the link in the side bar)
Each kit is different but they all contain Basic Grey EERIE paper.

Thursday Update Oct 8th ... CRYSTAL CRYSTAL CRYSTAL

Oh, there are some great new things this week !!
BEADS:

CRYSTALS ... lots of crystals. I have brought in a whole line of Chinese crystal. I have the briolettes in sizes 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm in many colours. They are actually REALLY nice. I wasn't as impressed with some of the other shapes but these had that familiar sparkle that we love about Swarovski. The nice thing about the Chinese crystal is the price ... 6mm are .25 (compared to .65), 8mm are .50 ( compared to $1), 10mm are .75, and 12mm are $1 (compared to $2.99). So you still get great sparkle at a much lower price ... You can feature them in all sorts of projects now !!! SEMI PRECIOUS ... beautiful LARGE turquoise beads/pendants, bronzite in various shapes & sizes, Picasso jasper , glass opal, pyrite (Fool's Gold), polished agate nuggets, GORGEOUS polished agate large beads/pendants in beautiful colours. And ... GOLDSTONE in straight goldstone, blue goldstone, and mixed blue & gold goldstone. This is a beautiful combination and I have it in rounds and ovals of various sizes. Really impressive !

BEADS & FINDINGS... new charms, clasps, metal beads, silver lined rectangles, lampwork pendants in various shapes and colours, new tube beads for bangle style bracelets, "noodle" tubes in silver plated instead of Sterling silver. LOTS TO SEE !!!
TREE & SNOWMAN EARRINGS/PENDANTS... I still have earring & pendant kits available.
PAPER :
I am still unpacking boxes from last week and expecting another order today ... so keep checking back !!
DAY 6 of 31 : I worked on layout & printing of invitatiosn and cards. Tonight is the fun part ... patterned paper, stamping, embellishing !!

DAY 5 of 31

Hello !
Made something last night ... I unfolded & recovered a take out box for Hallowe'en. It was pretty easy. I just had to patch the paper on the flaps as it is a bit wider than 12" but really no problem ! Then, instead of putting the handle back on, I just added sparkly brads. It needs to be embellished next, and then maybe filled with branches like a vase or CANDY !!

(I may need to clean up my table next ...)
That's all I did but in my defense ... ( now it sounds like I think I'm on trial !!) I also did laundry, grocery shopped, made hot pepper jelly, cooked a pork stew for tonight, did dishes, and made some party reservations. Not bad for one night I think !!

Day 3 & 4 of 31

Okay ... my crafting was brief but I did some !! We were away both days & didn't get home til late but I didn't want to SHAME MYSELF !!
So ... DAY 3 ... glued,trimmed paper, and sanded on some acrylic pendants /charms I am making. DAY 4 ... sanded & sealed the backs of the pendants. Stamped some Hallowe'en images for treat bags. Punched out some skulls with my new Martha Skull punch.

Day 2 of 31

"Pam, are you crazy ?? I can't make 31 things in 31 days !!"
That's what I'm hearing.It's so funny. But I'm not talking sweaters or quilts, completed. I am only saying to take some time each day ... you may not complete anything for days. That's fine - just give yourself the gift of some creative time . And the answer to the other question ? No, supper doesn't count. That is a whole other 31 day challenge !!
Thanks to those of you who are joining in !!

DAY 1 of 31

Finished up 2 bracelets and gathered materials for another. But ... this was a bad choice for this month ... we just got our painted hearse back and we just want to DRIVE !!!

But I'll squeeze in the creative time ... I DID promise ...
Picture later today hopefully !
How about now ???

2.5 bracelets !!
