Best Witches!

Looks like the weekend is over already. I spent some time working on Halloween treats - not enough - I’m nowhere near finished so not ready with the pictures yet. My sister came across a pattern for this witch’s shoe online.  http://www.skiptomylou.org/2008/10/28/paper-witch-shoes/

I’m filling mine with bags of candy and hope to have a dozen or so done for all the special little tricksters we get on Halloween. I also have these super cool plastic test tubes to fill with candy - haven’t done that yet either! The weekend was just too busy.

Friday night we celebrated a friend’s 50th birthday. Saturday was International. Once a month we get together with three other couples to wine and dine. Each month the host couple chooses a country and the menu for the evening reflects the cuisine of that particular part of the world - or so we assume. This month we had a little taste of Germany - Sauerkraut Soup, Schnitzel, Spaetzel, and Black Forest Cake for dessert. The cake was my contribution to the evening. I couldn’t get cherries at the local grocery store, so used cranberries instead - soaked in rum. Ooohhhh  - just a tad bit tart! It was decided amongst the group that I wouldn’t bring dessert anymore! I’m not exactly recognized for my finesse in the kitchen and it would appear I am living up to my reputation!

Sam spent Saturday evening with us. First overnighter for Sammie. He was good as gold. Awake at 3:00 a.m. for his bottle and immediately back to sleep. He didn’t wake again until 8:30. Being it that I’m usually up at 6:30 - even on weekends - we all slept in!

Have a great week.

Later!

There seems to be a whole lot of hoopla about Alice and the white rabbit these days. If nothing else, the rabbit has given me a title for today’s post. I AM late. I’m late announcing the winner of our last challenge - Susan Hogan - and I’m late in introducing a new. It’s been a crazy fall - just can’t seem to keep up! Soooo . . . .  I am taking a break from the challenges for now and will hopefully get back into the swing of things in the new year. Thank you all for your visits and your nice comments and your beautiful cards. Drop me an email at justscraps.ca@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you - snail mail - a great way to use all those beautiful cards I received this past weekend. And Susan, I’m pretty sure I have your address - but send it along again just in case.

I’m hoping the next few weeks will find me with more time to scrap, to make cards, to post and to visit your blogs. I’m working on some lovely Halloween treat holders and will post pictures of the finished product on Sunday. Have a great week!

Not sure where I found these little stamps (hello and thanks) , but pretty sure they were ‘bargains’ and therefore fit my own challenge quite nicely.  I also used a die cut I haven’t used in a while, as well as some punches  and an embossing folder. Lots of tools on this one! Saw a similar card recently while blog hopping and so loved the color combo, knew I had to pull out this die.
