Babies, Reunions and Ghosts! Oh my!

I've been a bad blogger! I didn't post last Friday. I'm sure the whole world was out there sitting in front of their computers hitting the refresh button every ten seconds. I'm sorry! But I promise I have some good excuses...

This happened....



And at the same time, this was happening...





And at home this was happening...



Yep...my sister's sweet baby Jane came into the world last Friday and that night was the kickoff of my 20th High School Reunion Weekend. AND my kids were at home destroying the playroom and making sure I would never run out of laundry to do!

Needless to say I was pretty busy! Do you forgive me?

I'm happy to report that life has finally slowed down a bit so I found some time for a little crafting therapy!

I decided I needed a few more Halloweeny items so I dug through my big tote of odds and ends and found this....



I added some paint, stamped on some letters, used cotton swabs to dob on a couple of ghosts and created this....



I even used the drill by myself and put holes in it for ribbon!
And my son made an attempt to impersonate a ghost...



And since I was a slacker last week I'm tacking on a bonus item...

I always buy candlesticks and jars when I see them at the thrift stores so I can make plenty of these!





And remember this great bowl? Add a few little pumpkins & gourds and it looks so festive!



Now if only I could finish the dresser I am painting for my entry I'd have a bigger place to put all of this cute stuff! (future blog post for sure!)
