Happy Halloween

Well here it is....October 31st! Halloween has never really been a favorite holiday of mine, but for the sake of my kids, I celebrate it :) This has been a busy couple of weeks for us. I was super excited to get all my Halloween cards made and sent out. 2 weeks ago our nieces came to stay with us "temporarly". One night turned into "just another night"...and before you knew it, we were almost 2 weeks into it. Our youngest niece (from this family) has autism pretty severely and requires a lot of attention. I don't mind that one bit; infact having them with us was such a joy to our family. We grew from 5 kids to 7!! Needless to say, I didn't have a lot of time to work on my Halloween cards. On Thursday (the 28th) my oldest niece asked me if I would help her make Halloween cards for her 23 classmates. AWWWWWWW was what I thought. How in the world can I pull this one off? We managed to get about 6 of them done, plus the 4 my daughter decided to make for her friends :) Thank goodness for the Dustin Pike and Bugaboo sites cause I was quickly able to find something for them to color! So, not everyone got Halloween cards from me this year but I am not too upset as Halloween is not my fav holiday, and the kids had fun making their's....
Here are a few that I got done and the ones I helped the kids make:

Elmo Chore Chart

My best friend of mine asked if I could make a chore chart for her son. He is trying to earn a Elmo Jack in the Box...So, this is what the end result looks like. At the end of each row of boxes/diamonds she can write his chores and then he can use the push pin's to mark what has been done.

Some cards recently made...

Here we go...

Well, this "blog" thing is all so new to me. I bounce around and look at other scrapbooker's and card maker's blog's and have decided to make my own. I am shy about adding my work to something like this because I am my own worst critic, but yet I send out my cards so I figured I'd add some stuff here as I go.
Here are a few recent cards I have made. I am making Halloween/Fall and Christmas ones right now so, hopefully soon I'll get those on here as well...
