Death by Chocolate

It's funny how life can get so busy! I remember thinking when my husband and I took our trip to Hawaii, life just seemed to slow down. Maybe because I wasn't waking up early starting my day running kids to and from school, taking kids to after school activities and still trying to do all my normal wife/mom stuff. I'm not feeling that well, might possible have an infection, but life must go on. All three of my kiddos aren't feeling 100% either, nothing serious, just dry coughs. Maybe some Chocolate will help...

I did manage to find some time to make these super cute candy bars.

Chocolate Mummy, AKA: Death by Chocolate


I got this idea from a youtube video I watched by Paper Jewels. These are super cute and super easy to make. I just bought a box of Hershey Milk Chocolate candy bars, wrapped them with white streamers, inked alittle on the streamers to make them look aged, added two wiggle eyes, than added a tag I made. So fun and so easy! I'll be giving these as gifts to the kids teachers along with some other goodies.

Wondering where I've been?

I've been in Hawaii with my wonderful husband, celebrating our 15 year Anniversary!!!





We had such a relaxing and fun time in Hawaii, we spent nine wonderful days on two Islands. We flew to Kona and stayed there for five days then flew to Kauai for four days. We explored as much as possible taking in all the amazing sites. A few of the things we did were snorkeling, mountain biking on Kilauea Volcano, touring the Na pali Coast and just spending time together enjoying ourselves and relaxing at the beaches.





After spending the day touring the Kilauea Volcano and wine tasting, I found a flyer advertising a local scrapbook store in Hilo. So of course I had to check it out. I was looking for something unique that I couldn't find at my local craft stores. I looked around and found a lot of the same items along with many papers made in Hawaii, but I wasn't really wanting to transfer paper back home. I didn't leave with much in hand, but I did come across a few items I was quite pleased with. I purchased a small plumeria flower wooden stamp which was made in Honolulu, along with two packs of precut dies, fern leaves and some luau dancers. I did buy one item by imaginisce, a small clear flower stamp I hadn't seen at my local craft stores. I received a couple "free" dies for spending over $10 as a bonus. I also managed to collect some odds and ends during our trip to add to my album, which will give it a more unique look and feel.

I usually scrap our vacations 12x12 or 8x8, but I'm leaning towards making two mini's, one for each Island we visited. I'm excited to start creating but still have a few more items I'm needing to purchase. I might also post a video when I'm done, so make sure to check back.





Thanks for stopping by!

Haunted House Mini

I've been in the Fall mood lately, so I decided I would create a mini book for "this" Halloween. I love preplanning when it comes to creating theme albums, especially mini's. All I have to do now is wait for Halloween, take a ton of pictures, then decided which ones to add to my mini.
I had a lot of fun creating this album and I look forward to filling it with all our "SPOOKY" memories.
Be sure to check out my youtube video below. Leave me a comment here on my blog and let me know what you think.
