Halloween Hand Sanitizer

Hello everyone!  Well last weekend and this week were very busy, so this weekend I am taking it easy!  Yesterday I cleaned my house, and today I am going up to my parent's house for a nice dinner!  You need weekends like this every now and then...  :)  Anywho, it's another DT day over at Joy's Life.  This week we were asked to make 3D projects.  I saw this idea for a hand sanitizer box on Pinterest.  I think it is the cutest darn thing, and it was actually really easy to make!  :)  You can click HERE for instructions on how to make it.

I am obsessed with hand sanitizer, so I know I would love getting this from a friend.  I know my teacher friends feel the same way about hand sanitizer, so they may be getting one of these little cuties in the near future...  :)  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!  :)

Halloween Frankenstein Card

Hi there!  Well, I had a very fun time yesterday going to the fair!  The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and the fair was just right!  I like looking at the animals, the art exhibits, the different gadgets, etc...  Today we are having my sister's baby shower, so that should be awesome!  We never have a small gathering (especially when it also involves my brother-in-law's family), so we are expecting over 50 people to show up today!  Whew!  I know it will be fun...  Anywho, today is a DT day for me at Joy's Life.  Our challenge this week was to include embossing on our project.  I love embossing and Halloween, so I combined the two!  :)

There you have it!  This card was SUPER easy to make!  I'm one of those people who is always buying craft stickers and I never use them, so...  I made myself use them on this card!  :)  Frankenstein is my favorite guy, so I thought he would be cute on here...  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello and welcome to the Joy's Life DT Halloween Blog Hop!  If you just hopped here from the very talented Patty, you are in the right place.  To start at the beginning click HERE

Oh man, I am so excited about this blog hop!  I absolutely LOVE Halloween!  It is such a fun holiday, and I think all of the decorations and everything are so cute!  Every year at work, I make some kind of Halloween treat for my co-workers, so.... I wanted to make something that could hold some candy, or Post-its, etc...  I found this cute little treat bag on Mini Monsters and I just had to use it (I love the little arms)!!!  :)

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...
