Meeting a blog friend...

Via phone! AND she is an Oregonian to boot. I got to talk to Rachel of http://eoberrys.blogspot.com/ . I had mentioned to her that I did not like the black background (hard to read) and the fact that my pictures were cut off. Well she takes it upon herself to call me and we ended up chatting over an hour...laughing like we were old friends. In the process she made up a new improved blog look that I absolutely adore. It is more me. I am constantly amazed by this growing group of women from all over...sharing and caring about one another. I don't care if that sounds corny...I think it is pretty cool. So thanks Rachel, you rock! I know many of you know her by now but if you don't you need to pay her a visit...she is one crafty gal! I will be popping in later today to announce the winner of the pumpkin man and raven! Cherry

I just wanted to express my appreciation for all the comment love from The SITS girls! You all rock! I am bit by bit visiting each and everyone of you! Lots of fun....finding myself some new fun places to visit!

Hugs, cherry

The House That Cherry Built.

So still not feeling myself...but felt compelled to build a house....a creepy one anyway. You didn't know I was a carpenter huh? I am a Jack Jill of all trades. Well mini houses I am. I have made several little Christmas houses in the last two years..and it finally dawned on me "why not a haunted house?" Lord knows I have plenty of paper. So last night I drew a template with a ruler...very simple straight lines with a roof and chimney. The ruler did all the work. Used some chip board (I save this everytime I get it) and went to town cutting out all the shapes. Punched some holes with my crop-a-dile and drew ribbon threw and embellished it! Painted my bottle brush trees black and hot glued this puppy together. Fun, fun, fun while watching "Lipstick Jungle". I threw in a few Halloween pics...things that I am setting out here and there. Ms. Fancy Cat I got in Kansas back last Oct. Had to make a tag for the Dollar Tree pumpkin..cause I am a tag girl. Plopped it on top of one of many scales.

I had to share my dough ornaments. Doing these took me down memory lane. I remember doing them as a kid. My parents , when they were first married & had a lack of funds, made some for their Christmas tree. I went to one of my fave blogs http://cobblestonefarms.blogspot.com/ and there they were again in all their nostalgic glory.. but this time done in a Halloween motif. I was tickled pink to see she had shared the recipe. She had done them as Halloween ornaments or bowl fillers. I loved her Boo button ideas and had to follow suite. I made a bunch more but have yet to paint them. My son and I had fun doing this together. YOU MUST GO SEE HER SITE....this lady is talented. She has her own store and decorates like a diva. PLUS....she paints. You gotta check out her bench she just posted and if you have time go back in her archives. If you still want to add your name for the give-away please do so on the post about it. Almost the weekend.....Yea!!!!! I wanted to edit this to say Thank-you Darlene for sharing how to Strike a word....I am so glad we all share the how tos...I would never learn otherwise.

Some inspiration and a give-away

I have been MIA some what this week. My body feels like it is wanting to come down sick. I wanted to share a few blogs with you that have been hard at work with some Halloween fun. This lady tried a few of my projects Mr. Pumpkin Man and the family sign and I am sooo glad she told me..cuz I than followed her home and was delighted to see her gorgeous home! You got to go check her out. Seriously.......NOW. http://www.andreaw123.typepad.com/ Miss. Tausha tried my clock project and it came out dangggggg cute...take a peek here http://thehoytshouse.blogspot.com/ Plus she did some pretty cute holiday plates. Here is another fun blog..she did the wood pumpkin and the cutest cheese cloth ghosts. I love them. http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/ If you want some Halloween inspiration..these ladies fit the bill.

Here is my little give-away...Mr. Pumpkin Man all in black/white ready to come visit one of you ladies. I added some texture to his face this time with some textured paint. I am also throwin in a black crow....I know some of you were not able to get any. I am also workin on a little something else as a surprise. I will draw the winner on Friday. I want to thank-you all for coming and visiting me and leaving me a little sunshine everyday. I am a little surprised that I made it to 100 comments, I took a blogging vacation for quite some time ....I know many of you are wayyy beyond that.. but it is a lot for me. Thanks for the kudos on the blog redo...shelley is really reasonable and helped me out w/ the technical problems I was having...I never said I was the sharpest tool in the shed.. I do think that I may change the background...black can make it hard to see the words. I hope everyone is doing well in this week of unknowns. I know that you all give me a lift everyday when I come visit ya. Hugs to you all! Cherry

What do you think

Of the new look of my blog? I don't know why the pics are all messed up now. It was done by http://shelsscraps.blogspot.com/ I wanted something colorful and a relection of my title/name...so I think it fits the bill. Will be back tomorrow to post a little something. cherry
