I participated at our church's annual Vendor Craft-a-Faire this year. I was busy making all kinds of things for it over the past few months. I also had Erica, and a few friends put some stuff out. Unfortunately we didn't make much money at all, but it was fun. I have another craft show on Dec 5th and everything that is leftover is going to be put out there. Whatever is left over from that is going up on my new etsy shop (more information on that to come).

Here is my booth:



This picture shows some of the journals i made. i decorated them with buttons on the front and ribbons along the binding. You can also see the padded photo albums that Erica made.



Here are a few of my paintings:



This painting has real shells and a message in a bottle on it!

Here is a colorful sock monkey with real button eyes:

flowers:


owl:


In the middle are Tamara's body scrubs and on the right are some of Beth's stuff. She made washcloths and baby toys.



These are some cute picture holders I made:




Button flowers that I was selling for $1 each. I think I probably sold a dozen of these:








These are made out of old scrabble games, i think i only sold one--"faith"



Even the boys came to visit me to wish me luck!



And good job to the MOMS group for putting on a great craft show!

They boys had a great time trick-or-treating. We ended up dressing them up as football players. They wore their Steelers jerseys and were super cute! They ate a little bit of candy and just enjoyed seeing all the other kids and the pumpkins and being out when it was dark.













We went trick-or-treating with our neighbors, Jeff and Tamara and their little "pea" Lucy and dog Cassius.





oh yeah, i almost forgot to mention that Juan and I wore our pirate outfits...it was so hot!!

Check out the moon!

Our good friend Nina and her adorable son Hayden came for a visit! It was great to catch up again and I loved seeing Nina as a mom. Hayden is such a good baby and is so cute! I miss them & maybe one day we'll live close again! :)

Our church had their annual fall festival a few weekends ago and we took the kids for food and fun. The kids got to ride some rides this year. Just a train and a little piggy ride. I'm pretty sure Colin enjoyed the rides more than Brandon did. He was a little scared, but inside I'm sure he liked it!!

that's what their Halloween costumes are...returned. Neither of them wanted to wear them. Brandon put his on for about 15 seconds and started ripping it off. Colin screamed until we took his off of him. So....I got my $50 back. But I couldn't send them back before snapping a few pictures. This is what they would have looked like on Halloween...

A few weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch and the boys each got to pick out two pumpkins. They each got one big one and one little one. They had a blast. It was funny because out of all the nice orange pumpkins, Brandon wanted the only yellow one on the patch. He also was intrigued by the pumpkins with warts! eww! They love thier "punions" as Brandon calls them!

Ok, so I don't have a little girl to scrapbook with me, but I have little boys who like to have fun with stickers and crafts. I have tons of extra stickers from scrapbooking that I let them play with and they like to put them in their own special sticker book. Even Colin likes to play stickers too!
