Halloween Inspired Hocus Pocus Eyeball Spell book Tutorial

Its Halloween and who does not like a good spell book that can look into your soul and tell you your darkest secrets! My leather bound eye book was the inspiration of the Hocus Pocus book of spells. I love its leathery look with its one eye watching the holder of its evil spells.

Bunting with Skeletons

Have you hear of bunting? I never did until I went to the Creative Tea Time and bunted my day away! Its the easiest and most relaxing thing you can do while sitting down and enjoying your favorite drink. I think bunting has been a well kept secret from me and I can't believe I have not hear of it before until now.  Now I know what to use all my extra scraps of fabric I have store away.

Never Forget 9/11

My prayer and thought are with the families that lost loves one and friends on that faithful day. Thank you for all the heros who risk their lives to help those in need that day.  I still remember what I was doing on that day and every bit of emotion that went through me as I watch the twin towers fall. 9/11 will always be with me.

I love candles that have skulls and animals embossed on them but I have never want to pay too much for them. So I started wondering how to could make one. I saw a lot of tutorials where they print out images on tissue paper and transfer them onto the candles but I have a lot of stamps and wondered if it would work with stamps too. 

It worked! Now I have a skull candle for Halloween.
