Eat Drink and Be Scary

Tonight is my last minute push to get all my Halloween goodies completed for tomorrow....yes I know it is last minute.  Luckily I started early on a few items or I would really be in a frenzy.  I knew I was going to be behind schedule and doing a lot last minute things as I had surgery last week, but I figured I would be stuck to the couch and I could  maybe work on a few things.  Well, someone had other plans for me.....I slept for about 5 days straight, did nothing as I could hardly sit up for more then 5 minutes.  I am thrilled to be back and feeling much better.  On that note, I better get back at it.....enjoy!  Will be posting throughout the night.

Go Jo Benefit

I always love back to school time! Kids' love shopping for new supplies and I love making fun gifts for the new teachers. These handmade backpacks are great to fill with goodies or even a gift card for your special teacher or even your child on the first day of school. These backpacks also pair up nicely with a stuff animal! These are just a few samples of what I have made for my dear friend who is fighting breast cancer....I am selling them to raise money for her benefit which is taking place in a couple weeks. Nothing better then using your creativity to help others.  I hope to be updating soon with lots more colors and styles.....Enjoy!
