MY "THANK YOU" PINK BLOG CANDY FOR FOLLOWERS!

I'm finally back on line!  Thank you so very much for your patience!  

We were all hit really bad with the Halloween NorEaster and have been without power for days.  Brrr!

We actually had to postpone Halloween due to downed wires until this Friday!

So tomorrow, I am looking forward to bringing my little 19 month old grandson Trick or Treating.

He loves Choo Choo Trains and he's going to be an Engineer!  I'm really looking forward to it!

I know that all of you have been patiently waiting to hear who the three winners of my 

Pink Blog Candy are. 

When I wrote out all of the names for the drawing, I was surprised that a few of you weren't actual followers.  So unfortunately, I wasn't able to enter your names into my drawing this time.

I  just want all of you to know, that I really appreciate all of you  and that I really enjoy reading your comments.

The winners are

1.  Judy

I want to thank all of you again and let you know how very

much I appreciate all of you.

Spooky Treats for Trick or Treat!

I'm so happy that it's Wednesday! 

 If I stand on my tippy toes, 

I can almost see the weekend from here!

Another reason to be really happy that it's Wednesday, 
is that it's time for a brand new challenge at

Freshly Brewed Challenges!

This week our challenge is 
Spooky Treats!

I had the best time making my very first treat basket with 

Fresh Brewed Designs

My Monster

and  my Stampin Up  top note die.

There are three mini Snickers bars tucked inside!

In this picture, I just pulled them up so you could get an idea of what this little basket will hold.

The snicker bars are no longer in the basket because I ate them!

I really couldn't help myself.

Recipe

Fresh Brewed Designs "My Monster" digi stamp colored with my copic markers

SU Top Note Die

scalloped oval nestability

Sizzix tag die

I used all scrap papers on this project

The cupcake ribbon is old too and I'm so sorry that I couldn't find a brand on it.

The thin orange stitched ribbon is a-muse

I embossed with my SU dot folder

I cut out two top note die shapes

then I cut out two -2 3/4" by 3"  inch wide stripes of paper for the two

sides and  one 3 3/4" by 3" wide for the bottom.  

I creased and folded the 3" wide strips at one inch on both sides. 

Then I cut out an additional 1" wide strip for the handle

I really should try to do some tutorials with pictures or video in the future.

The thing is, it's late and I just got home from a mandatory workshop that I needed to attend for my childcare/preschool and truthfully, I'm really tired.

So.....I hope to make this basket again and take pictures of each step along the way for you to follow along with.

By the way..........Have you checked out all of the absolutely adorable Halloween images that 

Heather has in her 

Fresh Brewed Designs shop?

She has the most adorable Monsters and Candy Corn digi's for all of your Halloween cards and treats!
