It's the GREAT PUMPKIN, Charlie Brown!

Just not quite up to par these last few days...

overtired-probably

trying to fight off a bug (cold)-most likely

fibromyalgia acting up-oh yeah

feeling a little down-uh-huh (need some girl time, probably!)

The weather

has taken a turn and it is COLD!

So am I!

Don't think hubby has done what he needs to do

so we can turn the heat on

but I have the space heater next to me

and it's humming!

Poppa Cat is afraid of it-

just cannot grasp the concept of the fan coming on and off!

He was funny to watch last night!

Speaking of animals...
I follow

Becky of Inking Idaho's blog

and she had this photo posted on her blog today

of her poor dog, Sarah...

Lol!

My cats have had glitter, glue dots, bits of ribbon stuck to them..

but never the lint lifter itself!

But GO SARAH...she sits, she sheds, she cleans up after herself!
Hmmm....Where's PC...? Ink? BC?  C'mon boys...
Momma wants to teach you a new trick...

Speaking of tricks-er TREATS

I have been wracking my brain

on what to do for the 30 preschool children at church.

While I am not directly involved with them

(I am the church "office administrator")

they ALWAYS come and see me

like yesterday when the 2 year old class

came to share their Scarecrow faces

and last week the 3 year old class

came listening for noises

(I cooperated with a demonstration of the paper shredder

and made the phone ring!).

I am in a time crunch

with Holly Days coming up and a couple of other orders to do

and have nixed a few ideas along the way...

 I have to confess- I "cased" this idea from one of the

Close to My Heart bulletin board ladies

and please don't be too harsh-

this was a quick mock up/test run yesterday...

lots and lots of Halloween stamps

and not the first single small smiling pumpkin face to be found!

Enter Avery address labels and an EK Success 1" circle punch!

The little holder is cut with the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge

(set on 4" in case anybody wonders!) and then a small hole punched

with the Crop-a-dile to slip the ribbon through

(it does actually cut a slit to put the ribbon through-I don't have that much patience right now

and the hole was sooo much easier!

As you can see, a Hershey Kiss fits perfectly!

Can't go wrong with chocolate!

Well, I think I am going to take it easy today-

and take care of me.

Tomorrow's another day, Scarlett!

Until next time, happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
