Bang Bang Shrimp by Fake Ginger

Last night I made this Bang Bang Shrimp and they were delicious to say the least.  They were fast and easy to make.  I've had the ones from Bonefish Grill and these are just as good.  Go over to Fake Ginger and check out her blog and other delicious recipes.http://fakeginger.com/2011/10/02/bang-bang-shrimp/comment-page-1/#comment-49615

Halloween Witches Hat

Since Halloween is just around the corner I have been working on some related Halloween Crafts.  Today I completed an Altered Paper Mache Witches Hat that I had found at Michaels.  I used the DCWV Midnight Spell Paper Stack.  This is a collection of gorgeous papers in all the favorite Halloween Colors.  I loved how it turned out and wanted to share it with everyone. 

My First Scrapbook Job

Hi Everyone!  I've just completed my first scrapbook job for a customer.  Such a great gift and way to preserve memories.  With all this technology around us today, this has become a lost art.  It feels good to bring joy to someone.  I love seeing the reaction on their faces when they open memories.  Anyways, I hope Tanya is happy as she is coming by today to pick it up.  I just wanted to share some of the pages with you.  Suggestions are always welcome my way, so I can improve.  For the front I braided some Red, White and Blue Ribbon and wrapped it around the binder that Tanya provided.  Her husband is retiring from the Navy and she is giving this to him as a gift.  So some are patriotic themed while others are St. Patrick's Themed as his birthday fell on St. Patty's Day.  Thanks for letting me share my work with you!

Altered Halloween Candle

Costume Jewelry Piece to the Top of Candle Lid

Spider Bling All The Way Around Entire Jar and a Cute Tag!

Fall is in the air and Halloween is just around the corner.  I love this time of year.  The fall colors are just gorgeous.  I also love the Halloween colors.  I'm participating in a Halloween themed candle swap over at Lil' Scrap of Heaven and I made this altered candle for my partner Kristina.  I hope she enjoys it.  I usually make my own from scratch, but instead I chose to use this store bought jar candle.  I really used a lot of bling on it, but it just made the candle so pretty!  On top of the jar I use a piece of costume jewelry I found and attached to the lid using a button on the bottom.  I distress the Recollections tag with Tim Holtz Distress Ink  So Cute!!  Now I want one!

Photography

I love taking pictures of just about anything.  I'm not a professional at it, but I don't do so bad.  I especially love flowers, birds and butterflies.  Most of the time you will see my love of these transferred into my crafts.   I saw this beauty on my Latana just the other day and snapped this picture and thought I'd share it with all of you.  I just love nature and the beauty that God has bestowed on us.  Enjoy!
