Sorry I've been MIA

These past few weeks have literally been flying by! I feel like I've been so busy, but it also seems like nothing's getting done. In fact, just this morning, I decided to shower and then get out early to run some errands that I've been putting off. Well, I also decided to empty all the garbage cans while I was in all the bedrooms collecting laundry. When I was in the downstairs bathroom, I decided to wash the throw rug, and vacuum the (always seems to be dirty) white tile floor (thanks alot DH). I ended up vacuuming every nook & cranny that I could reach without moving to a new outlet--quite a bit more then I anticipated, and I ended up cleaning the foyer, half the family room, every set of stairs, the kitchen, and half the dining room. I finally got downstairs to put in a load of laundry, and before going back upstairs, I decided to check my emails to see if there was anything that needed my attention right away. I also decided to place a few orders, catch up on my blog reading (I follow several blogs as you can see from my list), and here it is now, 1pm, and I still haven't gotten out!

OK, now to my point ... my last post was over a week ago before going to my workshop at Stampingly Yours where everyone made the adorable little Halloween coaster book. I ended up with a few sets of supplies left over, with complete instructions & color photos, and I've decided to offer them to you for only $20, which includes S&H.

I also wanted to share some great cards that were posted on the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Website. The top one was made by Kathy Bethune, and the bottom by Lynn Weiss. I wanted to share these with you, since they are both using the House of Haunts stamp set which was my SSTM for September. I love the one with the tree so much, that I'm going to have to make one so I can show everyone at this week's technique class.

I also have a few quick reminders ... October is almost over, and if you still wanted to purchase a birthday set from the Stampin' Up! Birthday Promotion, the Decor Elements Spooky Spider (see the specials to the right), or take advantage of my SSTM (Upsy Daisy at 15% off), you only have until Oct. 31st, which is just 4 days away. Contact me now if any of these promotions interest you so you don't miss out!
