Seeing Halloween is just around the corner and I don't have any new cards to share, I thought I post a photo of a creepy snake! I think this is the last one, at least I sure hope it is! This big non-poisonous snake decided to visit the dog kennels and it was not a pretty site. The dogs were all barking and the snake was trying to get the dogs through the kennel fence and our one dog Jack who was out at the time was trying to get the snake and it kept lunging at him. I had my camera and asked the snake to pose for me and he did (NOT!) I just happen to click at the right time and got this photo. Thankfully he slithered away and I haven't seen it since.
Now for some crafty things, no more snakes!
I made this Christmas wall hanging using chipboard as the base and a 6" grapevine wreath that I painted and glittered up. I added some wood fencing, bottle brush tree and some little sparkly pom poms for snowballs.
A few ornament hangings......
And a snowman wall hanging. I painted the wood tree and snowman years ago and finally decided to do something with them!
I did work on a shabby photo album this summer.
And lastly some tags, I do love to make tags!
We have some very special friends from out of state coming to visit first weekend in December, they will be our first guests in our new home. So that means I've got to finish the painting downstairs as I have completely put it aside. I still have to paint the two exterior doors, 3 interior doors, laundry room doors, mud room door and lots of trim. My main priority is the guest bath, that I can do! Good thing everything is primed and is white as the rest might have to wait until spring!
(I don't like to paint!)
Wishing everyone a lovely week!

Lovely creations! I hate painting too but it always looks good when it's finally done!
Oh - so many beautiful crafty things you've made. Love the tags!
Beautiful creations Annette!!! I adore your wreath! I'm seeing bottle brush trees everywhere this year! Your ornaments and tags are amazing. Love your retro Christmas images in your last tags! I'm thinking of altering spools and making some ornaments. And what a great picture of that snake, hehe! If there's such a thing : ) You caught him in action. It's suppose to be in the 40's here this week, major cool down with lots of rain...afraid all our leaves will be gone by the weekend!

Those darn rat snakes are just SO aggressive, aren't they? YUCK!
But YUM on all your gorgeous crafty projects! I am loving all the Christmas, and so inspired by your use of the grapevine wreaths. You've got my brain spinning with ideas now. Your attention to detail is just out of this world, my friend!
So happy that you have some visitors heading your way. Good luck with the painting. I don't blame you for putting that off, as it is no fun. But what a great incentive you now have. :)
