Spooky Fun Party Ensemble

Bats and witches and things that go “bump!” in the night – it’s time for Halloween. Create spooky fun party favors and decorations with the Spooky Fun Stamp Set and Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. The gate fold card can be used as a greeting card or as a party invitation. If you decide not to host a party, the luminaries will light the way for trick-or-treaters and the favors can be your treats for the goblins and ghosts at your door. The best thing about this project is that you can substitute another bundle and turn it into an ensemble for any holiday or celebration.

I had a great time at therapy dogs this afternoon.  My favorite retired pediatrician is finally feeling better and had great stories for me today. My gals in Memory Care couldn’t get over how soft and cuddly Molly was today.  It’s funny, I always going there hoping to bless someone and I always come home feeling blessed by them.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

It’s a beautiful weekend here in Iowa!  I got lots of walking and gardening done.  Yesterday when I got back from my walk, I was surprised to see Superman busy painting the foundation on the south side of the house!  What a sweetie!  Now we only have the door on the back of the garage and I also want to touch up the front garage doors.  The house will hopefully look great by the time we have Abby’s graduation party the end of May.  While we aren’t doing these things for the party per se, I’m sure no one would notice, but I always get more done when I have a deadline.  So my deadline for house projects is Memorial Day weekend 2017!

Abby’s excited that Heartland Youth Choir started up again this weekend.  Keegan is excited that his brother Ryan came home from college again this weekend.  My parents stopped by Friday evening and were surprised Ryan was here.  They asked if he lived here all the time now?  No, but he is home a lot more than he used to be.  Since I know what it’s like to have Sean far away in Seattle, I feel blessed to have Ryan here whenever he wants to be, because he may move far away after he graduates from college too.

I’m now off to finish my Bible Study Fellowship lesson.  I love my new group.  I have 17 wonderful ladies!  We are studying the book of John.  I’d love to tell you about Bible Study Fellowship or answer any questions you might have.

Hope you had a nice weekend too!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I had a fun Des Moines area Stampin’ Up! demo meeting tonight.  We made these mini pumpkins with the Bow Builder Punch.

Stampin Up Rolo filled Mini Pumpkin made by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom

The idea came from Constantly Stamping.

Keegan drove his first solo mission tonight and returned home with both he and the car intact!  Success for day 1!  Please pray for many more successful driving days for my 16 year old son.  There’s a reason auto insurance is highest for these young men.  Speaking of which, it honestly just occurred to me, we need to get him added to our insurance!  On the to do list for tomorrow.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
