Filtered from ladyofbrileithSo I hit... *counts* four places today looking for Halloween items. It's amazingly slim pickings out there. The best stuff I found was at Target of all places! I also found two items at Ross (a mug and a cute little house.) Joann's was a bust; it was all real cutesy country kitsch and if that's not your style, you're going to hate it ( Read more... )

I got off to a late start. Had my partner for a week now but we were too broke last week for me to get going on it. But I've now started and here's what I have for the Samhain/Halloween themed swap so far!

First off, I saw a craft show that talked about a product ( Read more... )

Last filtered post from annaonthemoon because it's done.Last post for this month's swap. For better or worse it's done. (And even boxed, ready to go out tomorrow.)

Filtered from annaonthemoon since she's my partner this month.I've been working on the "big ticket" item of the swap the last couple days: the cigar box purse. I have to tell you, it has proven MUCH harder than I thought it would be. In fact, now I'm regretting I didn't just buy one for her. *chuckles* I think I could have gotten one that's a lot nicer and more ( Read more... )

Filtered to keep out annaonthemoon so she doesn't see what she's getting!

Here's an updated version of what's going in the Local Harvest swap:

Filtered from annaonthemoon to prevent spoiling the surprise!So I've finished two projects now in my "Local Harvest" swap for Full Moon Swaps. The first is the decoupaged picture frame I made using WDW park maps. I had a little more touch-up to do on it (filling in some little blank spots and painting the back black) yesterday. Then today, I filled a photo ( Read more... )

Special filter to keep annaonthemoon out so she doesn't get the surprise ruined!

Here's the first project I'm working on for the swap. It's a frame I've decoupaged with pieces of Walt Disney World park maps. It's funky but I think it's fun. I've got a little touch-up but this is the general idea:
