Funny for the Day

I always keep a tube of chapstick type lip moisturizer in my craft room close at hand, my lips just get dry sometimes so it is great to have it right near me for when I need it. Today I am sitting in my craft room, working on some Christmas tags and noticed that my lips were dry so without looking, I grabbed my chapstick and proceeded to apply it to my lips, it felt a little stickier than usual so I looked at the tube and it was my GLUESTICK!!! hee hee hee! Luckily I didn't get too much on before I noticed it but I'll tell you, I had a very good laugh at myself!

Seeing I am in the funny mode, I thought I would post some of my felt pumpkins that I have been working on. I love the whimsy pumpkin faces so I thought I would create a few of my own and make some cards and tags. I drew some faces out on paper for ideas, then freehand cut out the pieces, then glued them on with my chapstick, (hee hee) I mean my gluestick to the felt, then stitched around the pieces.


And a Christmas card using Melissa Frances papers and chipboard. I painted the snowman hat and arms with acrylic paint, then added a layer of glitter over the whole thing.

Not much else going on with the house. Terry is still working on installing the duct and HVAC system and is hoping to finish up this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

LOL! Did you ever make me laugh with your chapstick story! Too funny!
I am totally in love with your pumpkins, Annette! They are fabulous! I love their wonky eyes. And what a gorgeous snowman card. I've been telling myself to get started on Christmas, but I haven't gotten very far. ;)
The store you asked about on my blog is called Garden Supply, and it is in Apex. I've got a link to it on my blog if you want to check them out. Their Christmas open house is absolutely fabulous!

Your work is stunning, I love the pumpkins (we don't really celebrate Halloween here in South Africa) but just looking at them makes me wish we did. I love your blog and hope that you will pop over to mine.
