Halloween night is just around the corner and that candy bucket needs to be filled. Here are some cute not too spooky Halloween treats and a tutorial on how you can make them using Glue Dots® and The Craft Lounge Sparkle Fluff. I am a new designer for Glue Dots® so stay tuned for more projects using their wonderful product!

Vintage Halloween G.C.D. Style

all is my favorite time of year, along with celebrating Halloween. The air is crisp and cool, the colors are vibrant and magnificent, it's that time to slip on comfy jeans and a sweater get comfortable and spend hours being creative!

When my daughter was little I used to start sewing her Halloween costume in August and finish just in time for the exciting night of trick or treating. Now that she is all grown and in high school she isn't in to being my cute bunny, piggy, bat or pumpkin. Although I miss dressing her all up I still love getting into the holiday spirit by decorating my home.

Here is an adorable Shabby Chic door knocker using G.C.D. products. I will be displaying this piece in my home this Halloween. Our facebook challenge was to use Black/Cream and one eye popping color, mine Orange to create our home decor.

Thank you for all your sweet comments!

A new school year is upon us and I LOVE it! Routine is my friend, the air is crisp, and the year brings a fresh start with lots of new goals and possibilities. To start off the new year a little gift for the teacher on the first day of school is a must, just to show her or him how much you appreciate their hard work. Here is a little gift bag with matching card I made using G.C.D. supplies that can be filled with candy or desk supplies.
