halloweenie cards

many from $ Michael's stamps..... PTI, SU.....wonderful papers....some gauze, sizzix dies......nestabilities..... crumpled tissue paper....and great mini paper packs i bought last year on sale....

the local store i have sold cards to in the past called yesterday....they missed me !  i will call for appt to come and show my new wares next week.  also told them i now quilt....so maybe i can unload some of that...  seems i have to "create" and it is nice to sell stuff to be able to replenish supplies and inspiration....

a new stamping friend made the faux quilted top for me, she added the pretty butterfly too.  i gave it a home....on a coral PTI card base....very summery

little all purpose bags

learned how to make these last week at a quilting class (thank you Jo)...

here's 3 i made....one for each grand...inside, a special pillowcase for each of them.

none of the bags are the same size...although that was not my intention.  who knows how that happened....but they are cute as can be.
