Ghost walking dog

On Thursday I was making Halloween charms with hot glue. Somehow I managed to dip 4 of my fingers in the hot glue and got 2nd degree burns on my one finger and blisters on 3 others, Went to urgent care where they cleaned them off, put on some antibiotic and wrapped them up. So ... not sure if I can stamp like this but I'm going to see how I do today. It was VERY PAINFUL when it first happened but I'm much better now. Who knew hot glue could be so HOT?????

Halloween is in 1 week. We had 40 trick or treaters last year. We have our candy, just need to stop eating it.

Such a quick and easy card to make with these die cuts.

Purple/Red Candles for Christmas

I stamped all the sentiments from the Tim Holtz/Simon Says Stamp Christmas stamp set onto the background, then die cut out my background. I hand stitched the x's with embroidery thread throughout and added the candles on top. I like how this turned out but not sure I will be mass producing this one since it took awhile :).
