Santa Baby! Card Camp - Santa Baby!

Card Camp 2008

Sunday was my first Card Camp of the season.. yep, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house! It was a marathon of fun at Bizzy B's Stamp & Scrap - Five hours, 24 cards and LOTS of stickles! There is another session scheduled for November 30, 2008 Noon-5pm. I highly recommend you bring something to snack on.... to keep your energy up!

This one was one of the favourites yesterday - I'll eventually post them all with instructions, but I'm on a deadline for something else and the kids are home on a PD Day, so this one will have to do for today!

Happy Halloween!






After days of waiting, finally Halloween arrived! We were a bit behind in our decorating this year as we were in France until the middle of October, then I was teaching at the Creative Festival. I taught a fun card class to a great group of women, I'll post pics of those soon, I promise.

After a day or so of recovering, we finally got down to the business at hand.. Halloween! Out from the crawlspace we pulled the 3 bins of Halloween decorations. Some seem to be missing though, can't find the screaming tomb-stone anywhere or the skeleton lights - hmm...

Everything else goes up, the giant spider we hang from the ceiling, the skeleton tray, the garland (purple), do not cross tape,a burping rat for a table centerpiece, the adorable squashed witch door decoration... and many other various things my kids have made in Nursery school and kindergarten over the last few years...

I set about organizing the menu - we have some standards that appear every year.

  1. Bat Loaf - My meatloaf recipe cooked in a bat shaped meatloaf pan
  2. Ghost Potatoes, - Mashed potatoes piped into ghost shapes
  3. RIP sandwhiches
This year I added Mummies (Crescent roll wrapped Hot dogs) and Witches hats... totally cute little pizza pockets which I found on Better Homes and Gardens website.
