Halloween 2017

This year my daughter and I hosted a Halloween party for some of our neighbors and friends.  I had fun pulling together and making things for this party.  I even found time to make a monster cake.  While I didn't make the delicious sugar cookie treats that I passed out to the kids, I was able to put together special treat bags for them...and even made a few special treats from some of my adult friends.  I woke up extra early to pull together little gift buckets for my daughter's classmates as well.  They had a running event at school, so I used that as the perfect opportunity to pass out the pre-Halloween goodies.

Fall Festival

My job had a fall festival for the employees and their families.  They asked teams to volunteer to decorate tables and pass out candy to the children.  Since this was the perfect excuse for me to use my creative skills at work, I volunteered to help decorate two tables.  For one table I decided to reuse some of the Game of Throne items I already had, and made a table that was fun for kids and adults.  For the second table I decided to be a little nostalgic and go with The Peanuts Great Pumpkin theme.  We didn't win the table decoration contest, but I enjoyed watching my teams come together!

Sorority Gifts

One of my favorite memories as an undergrad was making pink and green gifts.  With the anniversary of a very special line coming up, I used my Cricut and vinyl to make some personalized bags and baskets.  I also made over 40 little pearly keychains.  My free time seems to be fading more and more these days, so I only volunteer to craft for others when absolutely necessary.  This was definitely a time worth the time sacrifice.  Lots of love to Spring '97 Alpha Phi!
