Thanksgiving Time!

Here are the newest treats that I made for the grandkids to take to their classmates. The pumpkins will hold a small treat for everyone. These are the perfect size for a single Reese cup, snack size M&M's or about any small candy bar.

The cut file was made by me. As soon as I finally get my website up and running this will be a cut file that will be for sale.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, Welcome to the Halloween Party Blog Hop
We are so glad that you have decided to hop along with us.
Throughout our hop we hope to inspire you with lots of ideas for hosting
your own Halloween Party.
There will be some great blog candy along the way as well as a
GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY of $100.00 in cash (which is a big
chunk of change to buy goodies for a Halloween Party)

If you just happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning please hop on over to:

LEANN'S BLOG

If you have been following the blog hop and have hopped over from

WENDY A'S BLOG

Then you are right where you need to be.

Here is my project:

The file I chose to use from Little Scraps of Heaven is called Haunted Graveyard Pattern Collection. I've used the ghosts to decorate the coffins and the bats for in the bouquet.

My wonderful husband spray painted some twigs for my beautiful bouquet. Wire is attached to the center twig so the bats can fly high above the coffins. Each coffin is lined with red and filled with gummy worms. This setup would work great for a Halloween party so all the kids would have a treat to take home.

The coffins will go to my grandchildren's classrooms for their Halloween treats. The vase and bats will adorn my table throughout Halloween.

I am offering blog candy (if you have chocolate allergies, please let me know because my blog candy will be candy!) to the participant that hops to all the blogs and leaves some love. After you have done that, please come back to my blog and let me know. If you like what you see, I would also appreciate it if you would become a follower. I will pick a winner on Sunday, Oct. 23rd so please let me know how to get in contact with you!

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop! Most of us would love to travel but are having staycations this year. What better way to travel but through a blog hop. This hop was inspired by our host Shawnee's journey across the United States as she traveled with her family to their new home. The United States is truly beautiful with many wonderful places to visit and see.

If you've hopped along from DELAWARE or you are just joining me from your dashboard or happened along from somewhere else, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start with the first state in the union, Delaware, because you won't want to miss out on any of the fun (or any of the blog candy!!)...

There is an AMAZING Grand Prize Package for one LUCKY hopper (winner chosen by Rafflecopter)!! To be entered to win, please do the following:

Visit each state and leave a comment on each project (simply follow the links provided below)
Like Blessed on the Bright Side and Handmade By Lisa FB Pages.

So what's the Grand Prize???
Cricut Cartridge - Destinations, beautiful handmade flowers from Shannon at Creative Chaos Flowers, and a $20 Gift Certificate to Scraptastical Kreations.
Now on to my state and my project....please pardon the photo job, for some reason my camera was NOT cooperating with me to get these pictures!!

It's very difficult to fit all the wonderful things to see and do in Pennsylvania all into one project. I tried to highlight some of the things I've done just recently. The countryside is starting to change colors (unfortunately) to it's beautiful golds, reds and oranges and with it will come cooler weather. That means sled riding, skiing and snowball battles are fast approaching.

For this project, I used everything from my stash. The paper is all core'dinations (my fav) to create the single and double layer photo mats. The letters are cut using SCAL2 using font ARIAL BLACK. Where would I be without all my fonts?? To get my letters to be straight, I used the scrap piece the letters were cut from to line them up.

Now for the good stuff, BLOG CANDY. I'm offering up a SURPRISE grab bag that's sure to help in your scrapbooking endeavors!! To be eligible, please leave a comment on all 50 states to everyone know you've been there and if you like what you see on my blog, please become a follower! The winner will be picked randomly on Sunday, Sept 18th and announced on my blog.

Now you can hop to the NEXT STATE IN THE UNION, New Jersey with Nancy!! Remember to leave a comment on each state to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE!!

Happy 31st Birthday BECKY!!

Welcome to the Becky's Birthday Blog Hop! It's going to be a lot of fun. It's Becky's birthday and she's celebrating with a hop. Please remember when posting to wish her a Happy Birthday.

If you arrived here from Misty's page, you are on the right track. If you would like to start from the beginning and hop along with us, please go to Becky’s page (our host).

Thank you to Becky for hosting this hop and a special Thank You to our sponsor Erica from Mycricutcraftroom for her generosity!

I'm pretty new to card making and I wanted to join this hop to encourage myself to make more cards. I know it's pretty basic but for me it was a challenge. It was also the first time I used my brand new copics!!

Thank you for stopping in and viewing my blog. There are lots of other projects I've done that you can see. If you like what you see, please become a follower. Your next stop on the hop is Rachel .

Have a Great Day!
