I really want to make a spooky house...

I mean, the leaves are on fire here.  The temps have cooled.  The sun has that particular golden color you only find in the fall of the year.  Halloween is right around the corner... and I even have the plans drawn out for a couple of small spooky houses... but my head is stuck on Christmas.  Try as I might to get involved with the Halloween spirit... it's just not happening.  So... I give... Halloween will just have to go on without me this year...

In the mean time, I have a couple of Christmas ornaments I'm going to share with you this week.  Tonight though, I'm sharing the Crafty Blogger links... check this out...

Cherie is making some of her glass garden sculptures with solar lights... how cool is that?  I'm planning a fairy garden next spring so I am definitely book marking this!  (I know she's making lights, but she also had such a sweet photo of her Genevieve I couldn't resist showing you... go to her site to see the lights!)

 

Clear Glass Sculpture With Teal Solar Light
Cherie uses glass pieces, a solar light, and some teal beads to create a garden sculpture.

And just look at what Eileen has been doing... she's cleaning and repairing a bracelet her hubby gave her when they were dating... I love charm bracelets, so I'll definitely be checking this out!
