Halloween Goodie Bags for Juan

 Juan had his Halloween party at pre-school today and took his goodie bags I had made for him to give out to the kids. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, so they had to have their parade inside.   I got this cute kit called Sweet and Spooky from SU and thought it would be perfect for him.  It made 15 boxes which was just the right number!!

First I put all the boxes together.  They are basically milk box containers with a cute collection of ephemera to decorate them. 

Then I added the pumpkin tags from SU's Seasonal Chum stamp and Die set.  Another oldie but goodie.  I have used this set so many times over the years as it has reindeer and snowmen tags a well. 

I put each of them into baggies along with the ghost lollipops I make every year and tied it together with the tags.  

Here he is at the pumpkin patch where the school took the kids the other day.  I didn't get a picture of him in his costume.  Of course he was the Hulk!! Hope it stops raining tomorrow for the kids to go trick or treating!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jennifer's Birthday Party and card

 It has been a busy month so far.  We decided to celebrate Jennifer's birthday early this year as she will be with her Dad this year and Joe is having surgery.  We had so much fun which is what we all needed.  Every year since she was born I try and put the number of pumpkins for her age on her card and as she is getting older the card is a challenge.  

This year she will turn 12 on Halloween and we squeezed them all on her card!  I used SU's Pumpkin Pie for my base card and was able to match up some scrap DSP for my layer.  I used SU's # of Years stamp set and die AGAIN MY FAVORITE and decorated the front with my little pumpkins and witches hat.  The sentiment is from Pretty Pink - Halloween Corner dies/stamps.

For my inside sentiment, I used another old SU stamp set called Perennial Birthday and used up my last pumpkin! 

Fortunately, I had some extra wax seals from last year.  I used one of the glow in the dark ghost.  

Here is a picture of Jennifer and her best friend Daisy!

It looks like Juan has made a friend as well.  She is such a wonderful dog. 

Before they left they painted their pumpkins.  Here is a picture of Juan's that he painted black and sprinkled with glitter.  It is hard to believe she will be a teenager next year!  I want to thank everyone for their best wishes and prayers for Joe.  He has been through a lot the pass few months and we ask for your prayers again for this Friday for a positive outcome.  

Thanks for stopping by,
