Hello Everyone! Thank you for all the comments on my gift from Terri for the Halloween Exchange 2012. I am still is awe! I keep sitting here looking at the box and pinkeep. I just love them..
My exchange person was Robin at : Threads Of Memory Blog. http://threadsofmemory.blogspot.com/2012/10/haunted-halloween-exchange.html She received my package, so I am sharing a photo of what I made and goodies.
I stitched the Blackbird Design Trix Or Treat from the same named booklet by Blackbird Designs. I used the called for hand dyed floss and trimmed it in black chenille. I added some snacks, coffee and hot cocoas, purple scissors, floss bobbins, 40 count linen, and some of that chenille trim. I forgot to take a picture of the inside . I borrowed it from Robin..
I used some Halloween scrapbook paper to line the box. I also printed the Halloween Exchange Year and my name on the lower left of the lid.. I glad she likes it. I really enjoyed this exchange. This has only been the 3rd exchange I have done. I hope to sign up for more in the future.
I am stitching today on House That Jack Built II! I gave up on moving and organizing today. I am resting.. I have to wait for DH to get home to move my computer desk anyway.
I have a funny tale to tell. Hubby bought Grandson Josh a bike pump.. He has always went and got one in Walmart and walked around with it.. we always made him put it back.. Well, Poppa decided to get him one and his mom has caught him trying to air up bike tires and all their balls.. Well this morning, he is playing in the basement. DD hears a BOOM! A Loud Boom !!! She heads down the stairs calling his name! He doesn't answer.... She gets down the stairs and he is standing there, his Dollar Tree Blow Up Skeleton is laying about 10 feet away from the tire pump with a big hole in it shoulder! lol He finally says, " I was trying to scare you." Yep that is our Boy! Blew Up the blow up skeleton! lol
Happy Halloween from the Blew Up Skeleton! I see another trip to the Dollar Tree in my future.....
