THANKSGIVING 2018

This year has just flown by.  Thanksgiving was fun.  I made some adorable turkey candy favors and yummy treats. 

HALLOWEEN BAKING AND CARD - A LITTLE LATE

I am way behind on posting my Halloween creations, but better late than never.  I had a blast making these Halloween chocolate pops, marshmallow pops, dipped pretzels and gift mugs.  I think my favorite was the mummies. 

 

The Halloween card was made using all Stampin' Up materials, including the cat punch from last year.

 

I go to an SU card class a couple times a month and I've met the nicest ladies and made good friends there.  Two of the ladies made these cuties for us - Dee K. made the little bags from SU Paper Pumpkin kit and Dee D. made the gorgeous sewn pumpkins with candy corn.

 

I WALK FOR MY MOMMA - ENDALZ

So my sister and her two daughters and I did the Alzheimer's Walk.  The facts about Alzheimer's are staggering:

• Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States
• 16.1 Million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias
• 5.7 Million Americans are living with Alzheimer's.  By 2050 this number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million.
• Every 65 seconds someone in the United States develops the disease.

If you are or have been a caregiver, my heart goes out to you.  You are a warrior!!  There are a lot of Facebook Groups, Live Support Groups and organizations that can help if you are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or Dementia.  You aren't alone.  God Bless

HALLOWEEN - MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY

So you'll be seeing more Halloween stuff from me in the upcoming days as I finish off my cards and goodies.  It really is my favorite time of year. Chocolate witches finger pretzels, marshmallow pops, my kitchen valance, and a re-done wreath.  Enjoy

SIMPLE GAMER CARD

All the males in my life are into their video games.  I thought this card would be perfect for any of them.

CUPCAKE TIME

It's officially fall as far as I'm concerned, so I had to make pumpkin spice cupcakes.  And chocolate of course.

FALL WREATH FOR GRANDMA

Dan's sweet grandma is 102 and just moved into an assisted living facility three weeks ago.  I made her this pretty fall wreath for her door.
