No Tricks! Free Fabric Halloween Treat Bag Tutorial!

 
Laura Vegas made this fabric Hallowen treat bag for today's free tutorial at LLS. Isn't it super cute? And the best part is that it's totally no-sew which, as we all know, bodes well for me as I am cursed when it comes to sewing machines.

I love Halloween candy. I like seeing little kids in cute costumes. But I was never one for the scary part of Halloween. When I was 10, I went to a haunted house with my friends. When I came out of the haunted house, I was being carried by the man who had been walking in front of me. He was a total stranger. At some point a masked man with a chainsaw had popped out of a shadow and I lost all of my sensibilities. I jumped onto the back of the guy in front of me and clung to him for dear life. I also wet my pants a little bit.

Thinking back, that man was really very kind to me.

Free To A Good Home: Printable Journaling Tags

A quick post because I'm buried in things-that-were-supposed-to-be-done-over-the-past-two-months. Things like getting out the invitations for the bridal shower that I'm throwing for my little sister in 3 weeks and figuring out why the state of Georgia seems to think my car tag, which we just did all the paperwork and payments for in JUNE is no longer considered legal.

This place really has it in for me in regards to all things related to my being a legal driver here. Probably someone told them just what a terrible driver I am and they are looking for any loophole possible to get me off the road.

In any case, while I'm on hold with both the insurance company and the tag office, I thought I'd post a link to some new and free products at LLS. The first is a free journaling tag set that you can download here (eta: oops, the right file is up now! If you didn't get the PDF, re-download it! Sorry!) and the second is a set of calendar labels that includes 2 colors and both a digital and printable version so that you can use it in either traditional or digi scrapbooking. You can get those here. Enjoy!

 

 

Not really much of a punishment

My sister and I got in trouble all the time when we were little. Our parents would send us to our rooms as punishment. Her room was separated from mine by a door. "Shut the door, they would tell us, and no talking". After all, we were in trouble.

Except the door had been hung wrong and there was an inch wide gap between it's bottom and the floor.

Which is how we played gin rummy. We got very good at silent gin rummy.

I made y'all another freebie. Click here to download these 3x5 labels. I'm a label fanatic right now. Enjoy!
