Someone once said -

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the people who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Amen

Had the pleasure to met and get my photo taken with author Mark Montano of "The Big Ass Book of Bling" he hosts on "Creativity Knocks" on TV series online. 

It was at a new crafting mall locally. :) They even filmed a segment for the show while we were there. The book has so many fun crafting projects I can't wait to start on one.

Halloween Party Fun & Games

I know I'm a site, 

me 

this gal painted her eyelids and forehead
to match her eye shirt...too funny

this gal is the sunshine gal even her
tennies were yellow
We had our stitching Halloween party last night. What a blast!!! See more here we played several games. One was called "Picking the Pumpkins" where I had written on cut out construction paper pumpkins either "Trick"[with a trick to do] or "Treat" on the backs. Then you got a "Treat" from the bowl in the middle of the table filled with candy. The "Tricks" were silly like, howl like a wolf, hoot like an owl, flap your arms like a bat, cackle like a witch and other silly Halloween things. :) 
                                 
Then we played "Story Lines" where I had written a sentence like, "The door creaked open and in walked...." then you had to finish it and pass it on to the next person who then had to repeat what they said pick a new card and finish that sentence. :) Of course most of us kept forgetting and the endings were hilarious and we all laughed our heads off. Then we each got to pick a "Witches Brew Treat" out of the big plastic purple pumpkin.




I made a "Witch on the Wall" game. I printed out a witch and tacked it to a poster board, I wrote "666" on the back and had each guest take a push pin with a name tag on it and pick somewhere on the witch to tack it up at the end of the night we took it down and turned over the board and the one that was the closest to the "666" won and got the crochet witch candle I made. :) along with a made up "Stitch n' Chicks" good stitching spell...lol....


Here's some more of the Halloween decorations and prizes I made...

Halloween Shadow Peopl & Pumpkins $ Crafts & Other Interesting stuff




Shadow People or Shadow Creatures Activity:







This is a type of haunting activity that has no real explanation. They are different from ghosts. They are usually shapeless dark masses. Mostly seen with your peripheral vision. They are known to do things that are different from ghosts. They can move between walls, they have no human features, they wear no clothes (except for the hat man/hooded figure shadow creatures). People who encounter them, have a feeling of dread. Clairvoyants that encounter Shadow People, say they do not feel they are human and consider them non-human.


Shadow People have no discernible mouth, noses or facial expressions. Some are seen as child sized dark humanoids. Some people say they seem to be made up of dark smoke or dark steam. At times when they move, they appear to be moving on an invisible track from one place to another, such as a toy train on a small scale railroad track. They have been seen to hop or what appears to be a strange dance. They are known to stare at the floor.


Two common types of Shadow People are the ‘hat man’, that looks like he or she is wearing a 1930s fedora hat and the ‘hooded figure’, which looks like the shadow person has a hood over their head. The hood and hat stand out as clothing, but otherwise, they are not wearing any clothing at all. There are also reports of shadow animals, such as a shadow in the form of a cat, with no discernible mouth, nose or eyes.

Halloween is never complete without a scary story and Stephen King is the KING [no pun intended] I just love his books.



I am not a big fan of beer or ale, but I do like once in awhile especial ICE cold and I remember my dad used to love his with a big dish of spagetti and served in a frosted mug...mmmmm good! Since I am a native "Great Lakes" resident, this ale intrigued me and I was really pleased to try it.


To tell you the truth even the worst pumpkin ales have this spicy flavor that brings all the feelings of autumn to mind, and makes one think about changing leaves and crisp nights;


Imagine finding this Great Lakes Brewery‘s pumpkin ale, which definitely comes in a big bottle and is among the best examples of its type. Like their "Winter Ale," the pumpkin brew doesn’t exactly feature light flavors, nope, everything about this Great Lakes’ ale is bold, strong and big on your palette.


And to a pleasent surprise it even pours out slightly orange, which is a marvelous touch. With fall here and Halloween just around the corner, you owe it to yourself to try one of these ales.

And for a Halloween poem......


The Old Graveyard
By: Kurtis Primm


There is an old graveyard
I always walk by
Where others before me
Have died and now lie.
 
And when I walk by it
It gives me the creeps
To know that one day
It’s there that I’ll sleep.
 
Sometimes I see shadows
And I often hear sounds
Could it be coming from those
Buried deep underground?
 
I walked past one evening
It was quite late at night
I could see them there standing
A trick of the light?

I saw one approach
With it’s pale outstretched hand
And it beckoned to join it
So I turned and I ran.
 
Now I’ll never walk past
That old graveyard again
Cause I’m scared
I may never be heard from again.
 
The old graveyard’s still there
And I know in my mind
That the dead are there waiting
Just biding their time.

So if you walk past
And you hear the wind moan
It may not be the wind
But them calling you home.

I just love Halloween and had to share some Halloween fun and stuff just because....hope you enjoyed...





This an easy fun craft project to make for any house. I really liked this idea and Walmart sells mason jars very cheap... :)

Supplies needed for this:
-Painters tape

-Jars
-Paint/Paint brushes

-lay down wax paper or freezer paper or butcher paper... any kind of paper to limit the mess.
Just make sure they don't paint the inside. You may want to add tape to the opening of the jar to avoid that.
You can add stickers too. Then turn them upside down, to make sure no paint gets inside,

next spray paint them.
One white and one black.
wait for them to dry
remove the stickers.
add candles to the inside.

These pumpkins are so cool looking from HGTV...

  • spool of 3/8" wide black craft ribbon
  • black acrylic craft paint
  • white acrylic craft paint
  • small craft paintbrush
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • pumpkin-carving tool or sharp knife


Select Pumpkins

Select three similarly shaped faux pumpkins.
Cut Hole
Use a sharp knife or pumpkin-carving knife to cut a hole in the bottom of the first pumpkin. Make sure the hole is big enough for the stem of the second pumpkin to fit into. Repeat this step on the bottom of the second pumpkin.
Adhere Ribbon

Cut random lengths of craft ribbon and hot glue them to each of the pumpkins to form mouths.
