Here is my completed mini Halloween album I just finished from Drew Scott's monthly kit. With your kit, you get all the materials that are needed to finish his projects along with color pictures on how he decorated his project. You can go to Scrappyhappiness.com to check out the details.

Enjoy my take on my mini album!

 Here is the front of my album - hard to see but all of the ghost in the background I used Stickles "Icicle" that really makes this album pop!

Page 2 was one of our neighbors all dressed up. The kids really loved him.

Weekend project - Paint and organized Office/Craft Room

I decided late on Friday that I wanted to paint and organize our office/craft room spending many waking hours to get everything done by Sunday at 5:30 am (what was I thinking - LOL). 

The color of the room use to be a yellow but now it's a hint of violet and the fun part is, my husband left this weekend for a golf tournament and he has no idea that I made these changes. Hope he loves the new look. I know that I am very happy how it all turned out and now when I am crafting in my room, I know where to find everything I need to be creative. ENJOY!

LSH - 6x6 Wizard of OZ Swap

Here is my video showing you my 6x6 Wizard of Oz Swap I did through Little Scrap of Heaven using the Graphic 45 paper, Mica powders, Flower Soft, Embossing powders, Stickles a and UTEE.

PAY IT FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay it Forward

I found this over at berlykim37, Kimberly's blog - berlykim37.blogspot.com. .. she is doing this pay it forward.. so I thought.. what a great idea.. :)

"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.

"I promise to send an original creation to the 1st 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Here's what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 commenters.

2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.

3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 commenters.

4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.

Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!
