Hi LCMF! Were you afraid I had befallen some sort of trauma? I don’t think I’ve ever gone that many days without a post. I just returned from helping my sister with my BRAND NEW NIECE! Aren’t babies scrumptious? We had so much fun dressing her up and taking pics. And I had so much fun sniffing her newborn baby face. It smells like heaven!
If you hangout on the LCMF Facebook Page you’ll know that I have gotten myself into a “creative funk”.
‘Member when my basement flooded? (about 10 days ago) Well….it unleashed 2 loads of washing machine water onto my CRAFT ROOM! In general, it was a best case scenario because the room is tiled, I caught it super quick, and I had JUST cleaned it so everything was in its place.
Also, craft supplies aren’t exactly irreplaceable items. So…..I’m glad it wasn’t photos, or other things that I couldn’t replace.
It’s made it VERY hard for me to “create” though. My poor hubby needs a pair of pants sewn, and I cannot find the needles OR thread in the pile of displaced things. Looking at that mess just makes me want to cry. Sob, actually.
It’s like that time when you and your friend decided to make a SUPER awesome blanket fort in the basement. With every covering available in the house. Plus furnishings. And food.
AND THEN…..
Your Mom said you had to clean it up when your friend went home.
And your tummy felt all queezy inside.
Or was that just me?
Anyway, I’ve got a goal to get my mojo back.
And pump out a couple last-minute Halloween ideas for you this week.
We can still be friends, right?
I mean after all. We’ve been through so much together. Like remember last year when I made these for Halloween?
You don’t? Oh wait maybe you weren’t around for the Halloween Popcorn Cones. And the RECIPE for the super yummy popcorn as well! (2 points to the person who remembers what we call it!)
I’m hoping some of you weren’t around last year, and might LOVE to have this fun last-minute treat idea. (it’s one of our favorites!) I know with Halloween falling on a Monday, we have a LOT of weekend plans. You might want to take something yummy to share.
There’s also a lot of fun Halloween ideas from all over the web on my “This is Halloween” Pinterest page. I make sure to “pin” things that I adore, just in case I need some ideas. I’d love for you to get inspired over at Pinterest as well! (and if you want to you can “follow” Ellie G’s Pinterest board if you aren’t already!)
You go check out these fun ideas, and I’ll go and try to conjure up the energy to uncover both my ric rac, AND my mojo. Then we’ll meet back here tomorrow. Deal?
Yeah I think it’s funny my Halloween pinterest board has twice as much as my other boards. Check it out if you want! http://pinterest.com/ashleejuanita/halloween/
I LOVE Pinterest and I love your stuff so naturally I ADORE your Pinterest! I’ve made Jell-o popcorn with my best friend in high school but your Mother Goose sounds super yummy! (Did that sound weird/creepy? Your Mother Goose? Hmmm…) Well, off to stalk your Pinterest boards!
Well, thank goodness all is well! I was starting to worry by the end of last week
I have had those funks you speak of as well – fortunately, they do pass. Perhaps you just need to snack on a bit of Halloween candy? You know, chocolate IS a mood booster!
