I'm so confused! For the past week I have been frantically working on Christmas cards and projects for the upcoming workshops. But then I look at the calendar and it's early October and I realize that I need to think about halloween treats for my kids to take to school! Yikes!
Here is a picture of the table favors from my last workshop. They have candy corn inside. This may end up being what my kids take for Halloween treats. They are quick and easy
and terribly cute! I can say that because they are not my own creation! Some very creative person who posts on Splitcoaststampers.com came up with the idea and I just adapted it for Halloween. It's good to have creative people out there sharing, isn't it?!

It's good to have creative people out there sharing, isn't it?!On a personal note, the reason I have been frantic about Christmas cards and projects is because I am having gall bladder surgery on October 16. Yes, that is one week and one day away -- and counting. That is only two weeks before my card workshop and three weeks before the gift workshop. I know it should be pretty easy IF they do it laparoscopically, but he's not sure that's going to work since I have had so many previous surgeries (4 c-sections and an appendectomy). So I won't know how long to expect to recover until I wake up. So I am trying to get everything planned and maybe even som cutting done before Thursday.
With that said, here a
re some of the things I've been working on. The book in the back of the picture is sort of a portfolio I put together with page protectors inside to take orders to sell some Christmas cards. (More on that later in the week.) Some version of the book may show up either at the Christmas gift workshop or at the SISF retreat class I am teaching at the Fall Retreat. I just haven't finalized those projects, yet. The cards are sort of a mixture of new things I have come up with and some old things I have updated with different colors and stamp sets. I am sure that some of them will make an appearance at the October workshop. But, again, I'm just not sure which ones. I will post some individual pictures later in the week and it will be easier to see. I apologize for my lack of photography skills, but the more time I take photographing, the less time I have to stamp!

Cute treats Steph!
I wish I had your energy Stephanie! Your quick recovery from your surgery is in my prayers. I'm so not in the mood to do Christmas card Stamp Camp, because I'm excited about my new Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, but I've scheduled mine for November 16th...I'm trying a Sunday afternoon this year. The cards in your photo are beautiful! Sonya
Great stamping examples...you have a way with mixing the colors!! Hope you are feeling better - take care!! Julia
