Happy Friday! I just wanted to share this quick Halloween Treat Bag.  I used the Sizzix Bigz Fancy Die Cute! I trimmed about 1/2 inch off the top.

Stamp Set is from the New Holiday Mini Catalog called 'Sweet Centers' #116521. Such a cute set! I just started playing around with it!  Cardstock used was Basic Black and Whisper White, Ink: Elegand Eggplant.

Stay tuned early tomorrow morning  I'll have an announcement on my blog for a huge give away.

Oh and one more thing, I recieved my box of NEW Goodies! Woo Hoo!  Sorry for not posting yesterday but besides it being "Back to School Night" I had to go through all my goodies and organize them for a SUPER Stamp Fest this weekend!  I can't wait! So be sure to check back and see what I'm doing!  Thanks for stopping by.

DSC02853 DSC02856 DSC02857 DSC02858 Well here is my little guy! 1st photo before we left home.  The one next to it was coming down the stairs and he wouldn't look at me. To busy looking at all the other kids. "Like are you really going to leave me here?" ; )  The one under that is him sitting waiting to get into his class.  Hey he actually sat pretty good.

Then the last photo was all the kids lining up to get ready for the day!  He is too funny! He LOVES his Transformer Backpack to.

Sorry to have been MIA all week….not by choice. Family happens and everything else gets pushed behind. After coming back from Convention and our mini vacation my son ended up getting sick with what started out to be a cough and the sniffles…well last Monday I took him in, cough wasn't getting better all was fine everything checked out. But come Thursday/Friday he still wasn't better got sick on Friday morning and on Saturday morning so I took him in on Saturday and he ended up with an ear infection and a little bit of pneumonia! UGH! He is one that never complains about being in pain and this has happened before where all is good then he's got a double ear infections etc.. So anyway, they gave him some meds to clear it up…and today he started Kindergarten! He was so excited to go, I'll share that a little later too!  So between getting things ready for school and taking care of him my stampin' was on the back burner so to speak.  But will have new things very soon as I'm working on a few videos and have some more shares.

Thanks for stopping by,
