Secret Pumpkin Swap !

Betty had another WONDERFUL Swap.  You should have come here from Sharette's Blog if not You can find the entire list at Betty's Blog. Now to show off all my loot!

 

Check this out!  My Secret Pumpkin Sister was the ever fabulous Sheri Scraps!! I got this great bowl with tons of goodies inside!!

 

See!  One of the stickers is already used because I couldn't wait to take pics I was busy crafting and it was perfect!  The purple bag in the middle is GODIVA truffles and I have been rationing them like gold.  My daughter LOVED the 2 cups, yep, she claimed both of them.  The one on the right glows in the dark, that one is her favorite. We used all the cool party supplies for her haunted slumber party.  Plus Sheri  made me a really cool card that has been on display since the moment it arrived.

Thank you so much Sheri!!! This swap was wonderful ~ just like all of Betty's swaps.  From here your next stop on the hop is Kathy .

 

October Fan Page Challenge

This month we had our choice of two images, so I got the Fortune Teller Betty as my FREE DIGI and then bought the VooDoo Corrine image.  For those of you that don't know Corrine's neighbors have lots of trees.  These trees fill Corrine's yard with leaves and she hates it...Being the mature, understanding group that we are she gets teased relentlessly over her hatred of these leaves, but it is all in good fun.  So now that you know the story these card will hopefully give you a laugh. :)

This my VooDoo Corrine Card ...

and here is my Fortune teller Betty card.  Hope you like them!  Remember to check out the 13 Days of Halloween Challenge still going on over at Simply Betty Stamps, just click the image at the top right of this page to hop on over.
Happy Halloween!!

Summerween Swap Hop !

Hi Everyone,
You should have came here from Dianna's Blog and as always you should have started at Betty's Blog .  With a group like this you won't want to miss any of the blogs along the way.  My partner for this swap was Summer Hills-Painter ( I LOVE her name).  She made the most incredible box, filled to the rim with tons of goodies for me.  Check it out!!

 The Fabulous box, with easel card on top.

 I don't know how she fit so many great things inside because this baby was PACKED!

See?! I told you ~ a ton of goodies to play with and as an added bonus she sent me the directions so I can make more! Well, a friend of mine is going to teach us to make more.  Summer is teaching this as a class down by her too. Now you get to check out her BLOG.
Happy Hopping,
Mel
