Happy Halloween
It's been a rather quiet Halloween! I am rather suprised - but okay with that!
I was got my treat this morning. I usually clean off the front door when I get to work in the morning. It was a good thing I did the outside, because I saw the sign that said we were closing at 5 instead of 7pm! Well that means an early day for me! WAHOO! I am normally not done until 6. So I could leave and catch my 3pm bus, when the 2:30 girls get there.
Oh and I was soo proud of myself today! I am in charge of the Make - n Take this Thur. We do one in the store every month. It's usually just a tag or a card, or layout, to promot a new product and they customer makes it and takes it home. We keep it pretty cheap $1.99. Well we have this big brads (brads are paper fastners) but they come in all diffrent colors and sizes for scrapbooking. We just got some new HUGE round ones. I wanted to do something with a Thanksgiving theme. I thought why not do a Turkey - ya know like the ones we used to make in grade school. I could use the brad as the head or the butt. We had some flower paper. I cut the paper flower petals out and then cut the flowers in half, to use for the turkey's feathers. I did two of them and put them behind each other like a fan for more feathers. Then with a little rain drop paper punch I made the gooble and turned the tear drop upside down. It worked perfect! I used a little tiny hole puncher to do the black eyes out of black cardstock and the beak with the left over flower paper. It turned out SOOO cute! It was the hit of the day! And it's SUPER easy! Oh and for the feet, I used twine orange ribbon! Then I just put him on a little card and made a name plate. I think I will do them for Thanksgiving!
So I came home early. Stared dinner and laundry. It was nice to get some things done. But I am SOO unusually tired today! I couldn't keep my eyes open on the bus!
We only had a few trick or treaters and right at the early part of the evening before Monday Night Football even got started!
My favorite costumes I saw tonight were the little Spiderman and the Batman, but my favorite was the Buzz lightyear with helment and wings and everything!
