Happy Monday

I can't believe it's Monday already!

I've been spending every free minute in my studio crafting...

I almost feel guilty...

almost :P

Hope you had a happy Monday too.

Wonderful Bloggy Friends...

Aren't the people you meet through blogging and Etsy just marvelous? I've met some really fantastic people that I simply adore and Mindy of Timssally is one of my favorites. I sent Mindy my newest Halloween Tiny Book as a little "trick-or-treat" gift but NEVER expected to get this wonderful little painting in return (it's hanging on my metal filing cabinet in the last Trash to Treasure post.) The envelope it was delivered in was even so pretty that I'll be saving it to use in one of my shabby scrapbooks! If you've never seen Mindy's work you've got to check out her website and Etsy store! Thanks Mindy! xoxo

Something Wicked this Way Comes..

Does anyone watch the new FX series American Horror Story? Well, I'm a sucker for scary...scary anything, especially around Halloween, so when the hubby and I saw the previews for this, coupled with the fact that it started mid-October, we immediately set a season pass on the DVR...a 'you-had-me-at-horror' sort of thing. I wasn't so sure about it after the first episode, I was so disturbed by it I wouldn't go to bed alone and I snuggled in really close to Tom the whole night. Now that we've seen episodes two and three I'm hooked...can't wait until next Wednesday! It's a real puzzler though, very macabre and mysterious...and it's one of those that's going to unravel very slooooooooowwwwwwly! Check it out if you like dark and frightening...you can watch all three aired episodes on the FX website.

From Halloween to Christmas in the blink of an eye...here are some burlap and muslin stockings I'm making for the Handmade Christmas craft fair.
And I'm stocking up on my fabric and paperbag mini albums. I hope to have gobs done and ready by December 3rd! Gotta try to squeeze my Christmas crafting in between scary Halloween stuff!
