Halloween Party - Capitol Ward 2007



I am so tired. I am hardly awake as I type this but I wanted to post the pictures of my kids in their costumes. They wanted to dress up as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story 2 -- but since that movie is a few years old, I decided I would make the costumes -- I thought it would be easier for me. It turns out it was a lot of work because I packed my sewing machine thinking I would not need it and then I did, but rather than try to dig it out, I just hand sewed the things I needed to sew. I think they turned out looking pretty good!

We had a great time at the party. They had lots of fun games, basketball, ring toss, jello eating contest, cake walk, fishing, throwing ping pong balls into a pail in a pool of water. It was great! They also had chili and treats to eat.







(and yes, that is Dobby by the van dressed as a ladybug. E picked that costume out for him)

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
