Trick or Treat!

Here are the Trick-Or-Treat Bags!

I've spent the last 3 weeks working on them, I am selling them for $10 each and $3 from each sale will be donated to my local Women's Shelter. Which in doing so gave me the great idea for my Etsy shop- So from now on every month I will choose a different charity to donate a percentage of my sales. Yay!

Remember me?

Gagh! I apologize that it's been so long since I've blogged! I have been so busy the last few weeks making trick or treat bags! Which has been so much fun and I will have to do another post today with pictures- unfortunately I did not start this project early enough to list them on my Etsy shop but oh well! That's another thing- I haven't listed any new items on Etsy for quite some time but I do have a few new items waiting!

Family and friends have kind of taken priority lately. Plus it's fall. And what a crummy fall we are having- rain and snow! What happened to to a cool crisp (dry) fall with the leaves changing colors. It snowed before the leaves even changed colors. wtf? Must be related to all that Global Warming hoorah...

ANYWAY! A friend of mine had a purse party and my hubby told me to go ahead and pick out what I wanted as an early birthday present. My birthday is November 12th by the way. So I got this beautiful imitation Prada and matching wallet. I am thinking of having my own purse party sometime soon so I will keep you all posted!

Toodles!

Agh! I need a costume!

I found the cutest shop for Halloween costumes! Dirty Birdy Vintage on Etsy... God bless Etsy... now if only I could decide what I want to be...

Yesterday's Look

Yesterday was my husband's 24th birthday! I threw him a very successful surprise party! It was a blast and I gotta thank everyone that was able to make it! In addition to a great party Stefan branded himself, it's the Libra scales, and while most of us were pretty freaked out- it turned out great! Love ya sexy!
Awhile back I purchased a beautiful handcrafted blue rose ring from Destination Design on Etsy- I loved it so much I asked her to make me a matching necklace and she did! It's so beautiful I just had to show it off!

The Gala

Awhile back I mentioned that I was going to be volunteering for the Historical Society's Gala. Our job was to look up the guests name, get them a bidder number for the action, and try to get everyone to choose Express Pay. Very slick. This was a very high class social event!

These are the lovely ladies that put the event together: Char and Andrea. They are posing in front of none other than Elizabeth Taylor's Rolls Royce!
Isn't she beautiful?

Myself, Polly and Brooke goofin' around! The three of us all work together at the bank. OH and by the way the event was a 20s theme-- didn't find out until 2 days before the event and I had already made my dress! I was so bummed cuz I would've loved to have made some crazy fun flapper dress and hat! I think I may have to do that now... Anyway, so that's me in the dress I made...

The cigarette girls were selling flashing necklaces for $15, wine corks for $20, and tv remotes for $50. The necklaces were for fun but the wine corks you had the chance to recieve anywhere from a $20-200 bottle of wine! As for the tv remotes- if your turned on the 42" HDTV flatscreen it was all yours.

Miss Polly

They served the best food (good thing too since it was $25-45 a plate! good thing I didn't have to pay since I was a volunteer hehe) The Food was Absolutely Amazing.

This lady had the most adorable dress and matching hat- box cut dress cinched at the waist with a tiny pink belt, light and bright pink verticle stripes and the most adorable hat! Ugh I wish I got a better picture! She was so cute dancing- I think it was the fox trot.

A live jazz band!

Here we are with Paul and Betty! Paul was the man that helped put the event together- he's a real character! He really did a wonderful job, we had a great time!

I think I'd be fair competition for Betty Boop lol
