OJS Winners and Spooky Halloween Inspiration!

Spooky Friday Wishes! 

As you all know, Halloween is right around the corner! 

I have a special couple projects to share with you!!

All of them I used the *new* Halloween Owl-fits set... 


The first project is the make 'n' take for the 
*big* Susan G. Komen Event 

It's a cute brooch!


I love felt flowers... you'll noticed that 
they are featured in *all* the projects today! 


The back is nice and clean.


Isn't cute on a little cardigan?!

I'm sure the ladies will enjoy making 
a spooky brooch all their own! 


Next is a labor of love that has sat on my 
desk for a while... A set of three coffins... 
and they turned out pretty cute if you ask me! 

Here is the first... if you follow facebook, you've
seen a peek of this one..

Melvin's Coffin





And they all glow in the dark!!

(sorry for the not so stellar photo!) 

This one the inside of the coffin glows... and
it's bright in person! 


Next is Vernie's Coffin! 




This one glows too!! 

The stars light up bright!! 


And lastly we have the 

Spider Coffin!


This one can stand up or on it's side 

like this


I made those webs with my glue gun!! So cool! 


And the webs glow! 


They make for quite the 3 piece home decor set! 

Spooky and cute... and actually SO much better 
looking in person! 

I couldn't get a *good* shot of all three together on the 
table... but, I had a cool 8mm iphone video app and 
I took a short little clip of where they are sitting... 




Ok so if you've made it this far ...

(and haven't just skimmed to the winners list :) 

I wanted to share some of the fun 
I had making these by 
putting the 'Halloween Owl-fits' set
