Remember when I told you about our new vinyl warehouse find? Oh, yes. That would have been just last week…I’m sure YOUR memory is far better than mine these days.

Soooo, yes. Found great vinyl place. Made lots of great vinyl tees this week.

First we had to make some Halloween tees, what with Halloween only a week or so away!

For our “spooky” cat, Addikins:

Ohhhh…look getting fancy with TWO colors of vinyl. Which inspired us to take it to THREE…

You can’t see it really well, but that is purple SPARKLE. Oh, yes it is. And Birdie #2 had to make some for the Mama Birds to wear, too…

But it wasn’t ALL Halloween, ALL the time around here, well at least not on the t-shirt front.

I also put together some jog-a-thon tees for the girls. Each grade wears a certain color. Addie (2nd) is yellow this year and Em & Audrey (4th) are blue.

And then I did a project near and dear to my heart. My mom is one of four sisters (gee, how did we end up with two girls?!) and her oldest sister was diagnosed with ALS about two months ago. This is quite the heart-breaking disease as we are all finding out. My aunt’s family is doing a benefit for her this weekend and I cannot go, but I can (and did) create a little something for the sisters to wear to the benefit.

On the back are “jersey birth order numbers, too.”

These are one of those times that it is so frustrating to be so far away and feel so helpless. But I know that at least my mom, and my aunts, know that they are with me in my heart and never far from my thoughts.

Now, go call your sister(s) and tell them how very important they are in your life.

Or better yet, make them a little pumpkin to give to them when you see them.

So easy. Just cut out the initial out of outdoor vinyl, stick on. Tie a bow around the stem!

Plus, these little beauties work double-time all the way through Thanksgiving decor.

Well, maybe that isn’t the EASIEST craft we did this week. This one probably was. Remember when my mom made those amazing cards for us last year? I pulled them out and the folder that they sat in got kinda (totally) messed up. So I made a Halloween banner with them. Literally stuck them on a ribbon. Doesn’t get any easier than that.

Yes…that is our mantle falling apart. The Master Plaster guy is on our to-do list. God bless old houses. They will always keep you busy.

So tell me what has been keeping you busy this week?
