Open House and Earrings

About a week ago Suzy from HipMountainMama.com sent me an invitation to her Holiday Open House in Loveland, Colorado. Suzy purchases some of my skirts, soaps and headbands for her website, you can check it out here. She has lots of great items that are handmade from very talented ladies and I am so glad to be a part of her site!
I worked really hard this week to make some more jewelry and greeting cards for the open house. It was a fun week of beading and stamping :) My mother, who makes cards wayyy better than me, sent me a bunch of her stamps to borrow and make some new cards. But they still have not arrived, after a week in the mail. Hopefully they aren't lost.
Here are some of my new items.

New *thank you* cards for sale!

I started stamping cards a few years ago after deciding that I wanted to include a handmade "thank you" card to my customers when they bought items from me. My mom loves to stamp and scrapbook, so one year she brought out all of her supplies and we made loads of cards. Now those cards are long gone out to customers, but she has since bought me my own stamping kit.
Now I have decided to package up my cards and sell them to all of you! The package comes with 6 cards and envelopes in an assortment of colors and styles for $4.25 with FREE shipping.
Check them out in my etsy shop to purchase or message me!

Happy Halloween!

Our friends had a Halloween Party last night; which meant I had to decide on a costume again. Early in the week, Josh and I went to The Arc thrift store to check out their selection of costumes, and they had an entire Halloween section full of them! But, I had no idea what I wanted to be, and picked out this Hawaiian dress, and decided to be "Hawaiian." Needless to say, when I got home and tried the dress on, it fit me weird and I didn't like it. ha! I still had no idea what to be until yesterday morning, when "crazy cat lady" popped into my head, lol. I figured I'd get the dogs, cat ears, and they could be my cats. I pulled out some old glasses, old sweater, found a t-shirt I didn't need anymore and wrote "I Heart Cats" on it... I got two buttons of cats, wore pajama pants and slippers. It was a comfy Halloween, that's for sure! Josh dressed up as Dexter (the guy from the TV show, he is a serial killer) but only one other person actually knew who he was, so he was a little bummed about that.
At the party there were some clever costumes, a Freudian Slip, "uninsured", some scary costumes, and as always, some "hot" costumes, a cute bunny and Little Red Riding Hood?.
If my dogs, er, cats, could have kept their ears on, it might have been funnier for me :)
Here is me with my black cat :)

Before the party we went and saw Heather and Russ, and new baby Jillian, who is nearly 1 month old! She wore her pumpkin outfit that we got her when she was born, it was adorable! We passed out candy to the kids in their neighborhood, and saw the cutest costumes on the littlest kids :)
Halloween is such fun, now the official "holiday season" has started...and I really need to start my Christmas gifts.

October blizzard, 2009

Not even Halloween yet, and Colorado has had it's first snowstorm!
What happened to fall??? We had some beautiful fall weather for about a week and then we had our first snow (of just a couple inches) which knocked all the leaves off the trees....then Tuesday night, the snow started to fall again. The weatherlady was sternly saying the snow was coming 8-14" for the foothills, that seemed like a lot of snow...but when we woke up Wednesday morning, we already had at least 14" of snow, and it was still coming down!
It snowed heavily all day Wednesday and throughout the night, we woke up to at least two feet this morning! Josh and I took some time to go and play in the snow, it wasn't wet enough to make snow-people...I was bummed about that. Mostly the dogs just wanted to go inside, but Belle at least managed to play a little bit.
