Warts Up Halloween Treat

Hello there!!!!  I have been so busy, and I also got to actually talk on the phone to the that guy in Korea!  He called me on Thursday, and he said that I need to have an adventure and come to Korea!!!!  I actually really want to do it, but the plane tickets are so expensive!  My family and friends are telling me that I would be crazy not to do it...  I think it would be really exciting and fun!  :)  Anywho, I am so excited that tomorrow is the first day of October!!!!  I LOVE Halloween!  My students at school are already getting excited too...  All month long we dance to my favorite Halloween music, they get to dress up on that day, I read all my favorite Halloween books to them, etc...!!!  This week at Joy's Life, we were asked to create a Halloween treat project.  When I was at Target one day, my niece helped me find the perfect candy to use on this project.  It is so creepy and disgusting!  :)  Best of all, the candy has no dairy in it, so my niece can eat some of it...  Okay, here's my Halloween treat...

Blast Off Rocket Card

Hello everyone!  This is my 200th post!  I can't believe I took such a long break from my blog, then I come back with two posts in a row, and one of them is the big 200!  :)  I have been very busy ever since school started back again...  I also met a nice guy, but the timing is not ideal!  I actually ended up meeting him 4 days before he left the country to go teach English!  We have been emailing back and forth, but I'm not sure if it will end up going anywhere...  Would be nice if it did!  :)  Anywho, it's another challenge day over at Fantabulous Cricut!  The challenge this week is:  Trains, Plains, and Automobiles- make a project with some sort of transportation.
