Day 2 of Nicolette's Fall/Halloween Blog Hop

***Okay so before I get to my post for the 2nd day of the hop let me fill you in on ..... my day yesterday.... Okay if you saw my post from yesterday then you should remember that my kids and I were volunteering at the Pardeesville Haunted Trail... Okay so last night at 10:30ish while I was sitting in my car taking a breather I got a tap, tap at the window and I looked up and it was my son's friend's father  telling me that my daughter took a spill and that they really thought that I needed to take her to the hospital for x-rays!!!  The vote was something was broken let me tell ya it looked real BAD!!!!  Swollen and black and blue.  Good news is she wasn't crying so I was relieved.  I'll sum it up real quick.... my daughter said it wasn't that bad it just hurt and she thought she jammed her pinky (which she does alot with basketball)

 

so I had someone find my son and we rushed home.... my hubs works at one of the hospitals  and he was done his shift and he was on his was so I wanted to wait for him.

 

When hubs got home he said that the bumps and lumps on her arm weren't normal and they were bone and she should go to the hospital so by 1:30 we were on our way to the hospital.

 

 

At 4:30 after x-rays they tell us it's too swollen to get a good read so her arm is in a brace and we need to wait till Monday for them to call us so we can take her back for x-rays and see what's going on.

 

I went to bed at 5:45am then I got up at 11:00am and finished up my project, let me tell ya nothing went as planned ..... so, i'm sorry I was alittle getting this up late.

Welcome to day one of Nicolette's Fall & Halloween Blog Hop

I'm so happy that you are joining us for this fabulous blog hop.  Autumn/Fall/Halloween happen to be my most favorite time of the year it's awesome!!!!

I'd like to say thank you to my bloggy friend Nicolette for letting me be a part of this blog hop.

If you just happened to stop by my blog today I'd love for you to hop on over to Nicolette's Blog Beyond Scrappin right here .

Blog Candy:  Please read each blog to see what they're requirements are as to winning.  For my blog candy, I am hoping to hit 500 followers and once I do I'm going to having a giveaway of many different items that I've picked up along the way.  I'm opening it up to my followers.  My regulars and I know who they are will have extra chances to win.  So if your not a follower and you like what you see please feel free to sign up and if you do sign up leave me your blog addy so that I can return the favor to you.

If your making your way thru the hop then you should be arriving at my blog by the way of Leslie's Blog leslierahye. Isn't her blog beautiful?  I love looking at all of the different types of crafts she does.

Okay so for my project today I'm going to be sharing with you two signs that I had to make up for a haunted trail that my kids volunteer at every year, in Pardeesville, Pa.

They have a huge section of the trail this year and there are two different sections so here's the sign for the first section.

This sign is for the section that they actually have roped off so that you can't enter Heaven, of course!!!

I bet you can guess what the next sign is going to be related too...

Yeppers it's the "Gates of Hell"  Come on it's a Haunted Trail they want to scare the b'geesus out of people.  The hell sign happens to be my favorite.... the hubs added the red food coloring for the look of blood ..... I love how it came out.

The, "You can check-in anytime you like but you can never leave"  Wasn't a total rip off of the line in the Eagles song Hotel California but, it was our small shout out to the song indirectly.

I'm pleased with how these two signs came out and it was a snap making them using both my Gypsy and my Cricut E2 and with the ability to do these in my new Craftroom or "Brandi's Bedroom" as it's now referred to.... ( for those who don't know who brandi is.  She is our 3 year old German Shepherd who is super intellegent.  In her head she knows that there are four bedrooms and, Jordan has his room, Brittany has her room and The Hubs and I have our room so there's an extra room.  That I leave the door open too and several times throughout the day she will take herself in there and spread out on the floor... she even goes in there at night when we're asleep.... I think it's funny and cute.  She has claimed my craftroom as her bedroom.

Okay I wont keep you any longer.

I will be sending you on your way to the very capable hands of  Pam over at Scrapbook Flair another one of my favorite blogs to visit.  I hope that you will come on back tomorrow and see what I've got cooked up.  I'm still working on a Fall wreath... if I finish it up I will have it for you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Before I let you go for the day I'd also like to remind you that I will also be participating in

Nicolette's

This weekend.... boy do I have a ton of projects to share.... I've been very busy.... so, it should be a good time and there's a good chance there's going to be some blog candy throughout the blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciate reading all of your comments.  If you comment and have a blog please leave the address in your comment so I can stop by and return the favor.  I'm finally slowly getting back into the swing of things from the move..... right now it's hectic with the kids doing the haunted trail and, I've got this stomach bug that just wont go away..... I know it's going around cause the hubs has people going to the ER with it at work....

Enough about my tummy troubles.  TMI (right?)

Come on back this weekend and see what else I have ready!!!!

Be Creative today,

---Michelle

Thank You!!!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by this past weekend for the:

I'd also like to thank our wonderful hostess Kathryn for pulling off yet another great and very inspirational hop full of ubber creative ladies.  Girls you all were wonderful and I myself have seen some things that I would love to recreate in my own way.

I'd also like to remind you that this weekend I will also be in another hop this one is being hosted by the ever so crafty Nicolette!!!!

This hop will be featuring more fall fun.  I'm sure there will be more Halloween fun and some wonderful ideas for Thanksgiving. 

Where I live leaves have already turned thanks to all of that rain we had and, they are now falling from the trees.... ( My kids are gonna love it!!!! They get to rake!!!!)--- it's okay they are paid handsomely for doing so.  It's the same thing every year we wait for them to turn and then it rains, gets chilly they turn and  before you can enjoy it they are already gone seems like it takes the most two weeks!!!!

I'm finally slowely getting back to crafting.... boy moving has really taken alot of me and during all of this I switched pain meds and they knock me out!!!  I take them they make me sleepy I take a nap and then I'm good to go and I'm up all night would be nice if I could sleep normal hours.

Enough about me .....

I hope that you will come on back this weekend and join me for the hop.  I really do appreciate those regular followers of mine.  You are the ones who show up to all the hops.  I really appreciate your support it means alot.  I cherish each and everyone of you.... I have some things I'd love to do next year with my blog and I'm hoping that I can make it happen.  I just have to put my mind to it.  I may be calling on a few of you for some help.

Take care and be creative today,

----Michelle
