Hi everyone! I hope your weekend is going well? I just wanted to share what I received in my mailbox today. A couple of weeks ago, I participated in the Memory Box blog hop and commented on each design team members creation..............Guess what? I was one of the winners of one of their dies. I am so excited and ready to use it. Below is a picture of the one I received.

Thank you for letting me share my happy mailbox with you today. Hugs Brenda

October Blog Hop.............with Craft-DeeBowz!

Hi everyone! Welcome to our October Blog Hop. This is one of my favorite times of the year because I like the cooler weather and the colors of the season.

Our challenge for the blog hop this month is Halloween with using any bow type. I have to admit, this was a challenge for me. I'm not real big into celebrating Halloween. So with saying that, I hope you will like this 12 X 12 scrapbook page.

Please don't forget to visit every design team members blog and leave a comment. The rotation is as follows:

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!..........Craft-Dee Bowz design team challenge.

Good morning everyone. What a nice brisk cool morning it is. I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee with pumpkin spice creamer. Yum!

As you know, I'm on the design team over at Craft-DeeBowz and our challenge was to create anything but a card and use the colors black, orange and purple. Well, I sort of went off the normal grid and created a home decor item. My secret sister from church gave me a small artificial fall floral arrangement, so I decided to make it a little more festive for Halloween. I added raffia, wire and K& Co. pumpkins on skewers. Everything that was added to this arrangement can be easily taken out, once Halloween is over. Let's not forget about the bow I added. It was created using the Craft-DeeBowz bow maker and three different colored ribbons.

Don't forget about the Craft-DeeBowz Blog Hop coming up Oct. 9th at 10 p.m. est.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful creative day! Hugs Brenda

My Favorite Things Exchange!

Good morning everyone, Happy October! I just wanted to take a minute this morning and share with you, all of the goodies I received from My Favorite Things Exchange

This is a blog I stumbled upon and I have been in-grossed ever since. I signed up for an exchange where you were to send an item or items that were your favorite things to craft with. It was a $ 5.00 minimum and there were six members in each group including you, so you actually only had to send out five. I had so much fun and it was exciting to receive all the different crafting things. My favorite that I sent out were, Buttons and Bling. Below, are all the items I received.

As always, thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day! Hugs Brenda
