2014 Owl Lover's Calender

             Once again, I'm posting about the wonderful calender offered here.

As always, they have some beautiful images to choose from.  Like this one.....

There are several images to choose from so you can customize your own!

Hootin' Good Stuff...

Saturday I got my hooti-licious package from Jenny...

She sent a felt owl ornie with cute decorations (LOVE the buttons!), a salt and pepper owl set, some owl hair clips and owl/fall scrapbooking stickers. Thank you Jenny, it was a wonderful package!! What fun I'll have with it all!!
I've been away from blogland for almost a month so I'm not sure if she's posted her package or not. Here's what I sent her...I made two Chrismas-y owls and glued them to painted clothespins so that they'll clip to the Christmas tree. I also sent a fall-ish owl, leaf buttons, pig buttons (I added wings to the third one so that it would be a flying pig), an owl bookmark (I think, I found it at an estate sale like that) and a whole bag of bottle caps.

I LOVED the tutowlrial that Valerie showed us...in fact, I loved those little owls so much that I decided to make a WHOLE NEST of them for our churches fall bazaar. I'm really bummed that my picture didn't turn out perfectly, but it gives you the idea of how I displayed them on the table.

Hootin Cute . . .

This box came at a perfect time. ON my birthday (Oct. 29th)! (did you plan that Shawnee)?

I was/am so tickled :) I got my owl ornie that was cutely tucked in my brand new apron pocket. Lookie at that owl! *~HOOT HOOTIN' CUTE!~* A nice orange backdrop with images of ravens, owls and black cats. Totally HALLOWEEN! Polka dots & ric rac *squeals*. Got some Halloween baking cups, awesome chipboard, Halloween mini card set, some papers and stickers! *swoons*
SHAWNEE - Thank you so much! You spoiled me rotten :) I love my owl! I love my apron and extras! Thank you ~ Thank you ~ Thank you! <3

Owl package from Melinda!!!

I was so excited to open my package.. and lookie lookie at what I got!! It was all packaged in a very pretty box!! I love it all and the popcorn balls were YUMMY!! I had to hurry and take the picture because my kids were anxious to get theirs :-) Now to find a special spot for my owls :) And just in time because I have already taken down my halloween decorations ;-)

Sweet Hooters!

Just look at the sweet package I got from Messy Missy for October! I love it all!!! coasters, a sleepy owl mask, some bulbs for my fairy garden, stash goodies and my ornament! She made me a sweet charm too that I put on my tree also.
here is a close up of the wood burned gourd ornament!!!

She even signed it on the bottom.
I've never tried this type of craft but just may have to next year.

and here is the charm/ornament....it isn't as good a photo but you can still see how cute it is!

Thank you Missy, I really love everything!

October's theme!

October ornament: Owl

October's challenge: create yourself a Holiday (any holiday) garland incorporating the enchanted theme in your design.

October's activity: during the month of October, put leftover breads, popcorn, etc. into a baggie and store in the freezer.

The last day of the month, take all the goodies you've stored up and go to a nature trail, park or into the woods and leave it for the birds and other critters to enjoy.
