Halloween Photos & A Turkey to share! :)

Happy Tuesday.. sun is SHINING.. and I have to clean ~ SIGH! that is ok I took off yesterday to spend some creative time in my little messy room! YEAH!!

So I have a few Halloween photos to share.. the kiddos had a BLAST! Each went with a friend and Dad! :) and Amandas friends dad also joined them! I stayed home to answer the door.. I LOVE to do that!! :) so fun to see everyone dressed up and chat with the neighbors! :)

Here we go.. Indiana Justin and one sweet Witchy Amanda! :) THANKS Tutu for making Amandas costume! (first year she didnt make Justins.. boo.. he is growing to fast!)


















Steve put coffee grounds on Justin for his facial hair.. dang it aged him! LOL!!! (and left his face clean and shiny when he took it off.. I think MOM needs that facial! HA!)





















Our Witchy Amanda... she was to cute... (if I do say so myself! LOL!)





















I was asked at Scrappin Mojo to share a creative thing a day for Nov. soooo I said yes.. I am a bit nervous.. hoping everything I share will be good enough~ (THANKS again Jan for asking me!!) anyway.... somedays I share something that is all me.. other days maybe online finds.. most days I want to share things I find , that inspire me to do something fun and make it MINE! So that was todays! I found the punched turkey on Youtube.. and made my own version!! Here is my take on it!





















Here is the link to MY THREAD at Mojo! If you want to stop by sometime!! :) it is a FUN place!! :)
