Here is a quick sneak peek at some pages I made for a "Chunky Book Swap" with the lovely Robin from Thrifty Miss Priss.

The theme is "Winter Whites"

I can't wait to see the wonderful book put together with all of the pages finally in place.I'll show you more when I get it.

P.S.

I couldn't find my cameras battery charger so I had to go out and buy a new one. Ouch!!

I did save the receipt because you know how it works. Tomorrow the other one will show up. (hopefully)

Also,

Christmas items are coming to my shops soon.

More Sweet than Sinister

Just a super quick post to show you what I received in the "Sweet and Sinister" swap

hosted by the A Year of Color blog.

My swap partner was Cristina Sequino from

Sweet Pea Ink

Let me just say, she is absolutely fabulous.

So this is what I see when I open the box, in the car because I just can't wait until I get in the house. And, I make my husband sit there with me to see what sinister treats await.

O.K, He is a guy, so he says "she gave you a lunch pail?"

"YES!!!" I say, "and isn't it fabulous!!!!"

And, even though she sent me "Poison", I still think she rocks.

Check out that flower, I'm pretty sure she made it.

AMAZING

Don't you love the chenille pumpkin and the pins??

But, this item got a ton of compliments on my Halloween Party post I wanted to make sure everyone knew where I got it. You should see it in person, fabulous doesn't even begin to do it justice. There was also a fabulous garland that I didn't snatch a picture of and lots of other yummy goodness.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Cristina

My kindred spirit friend.

You totally spoiled me.

My Haunted Celebration

Hello,welcome to my

Haunted Celebration!!

part of A Fanciful Twists

A Hauntingly Magical Celebration

Ms. Witchy has invited Mr. Pumpkin over for a little Halloween feast!!

Doesn't he look handsome, top hat in hand.

I hope she doesn't have anything wicked up her sleeve.

Uh oh!! I think she's poisoned the food (again)!!

Poor Mr. Pumpkin, he wasn't quite as cunning as Ms. Witchy and he ended up her Halloween treat.

Just kidding!!

Happy Halloween!!

especially our hostesses blog!! Truly enchanting!!

P.S.

I've extended my sale in my shop for the weekend,

I love blogging!!

I love blogging!!

No, really!! You meet and get to know the most fabulous, giving, talented people on earth.

So many, I think maybe I'll start trying to feature amazing bloggers every once in awhile.

Today is Shelly of Snohomish, this lovely lady purchased some of my paper goodies and has incorporated them into her fabulous designs. WOW!! Boy do I feel privileged. Check out her fabulous blog and her wonderful etsy shop. It's always nice when someone likes the things you've made but it truly is an honor to be added to such amazing work.

But, she isn't just talented, she is super duper sweet to boot.

Can't get any better than that.

Check her out, tell her I think she's great.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I was in two amazing Halloween swaps and I can't wait to show you all the goodies two other equally wonderful and talented bloggers sent me. I'm shooting for Wednesday, you wont want to miss it.

Be-lated Thank You!!

I apparently have become quite the "lucky girl". Maybe it's because I named my store and my blog luckygirlgifts. But, whatever the reason, before I started blogging I was most definitely un-lucky. Well, I have a wonderful husband, healthy children, a nice home, etc. So I am lucky that way. I mean, I've never been able to win anything.

That is until I started blogging.

Look at the latest amazing creation that I was "lucky" enough to win:

Natalea over at Kandeland created this wonderfully wicked witch.

I'm really terrible though. I received it over 2 weeks ago and haven't said Thank you yet.

Thank you Natalea, it is amazing.

Look at all of the layer on the skirt, and of course the glitter.

Fabulous.

I do feel lucky.

Pretty Inspirational Pictures

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

My youngest son turned 7 last Friday and we were crazy busy getting ready for his party.

We did although take a little trip.

On this "said" trip we found this beautiful and inspiring window display. I couldn't help myself, I had to take pictures. Unfortunately, all I had with me was my phone. I have never taken a picture with my phone and then downloaded it onto my computer. But, I just couldn't pass up sharing this wonderful window with you all.

Let see if anyone can guess where this beautiful display is before you get to the bottom of this post.

Well, did you guess?

Did you guess Disneyland?

If you did, you were right. That was a sweet little vignette in the New Orleans area of Disneyland near the people who do the sketches.

(These are their fronts)

On another note: I have been obsessed with collecting vintage playing cards lately. Aren't they just adorable. I love them so. But, now I have too many. So, I listed a collection that would be perfect for crafting in my store.

(These are their backs)

Hopefully I'll post again real soon.

Enjoy your week,

Happy Creating.
