Halloween and Creative Storage

Okay I think I will add the photos after. I just lost the blog I was typing! I found a cool way to store stickles while browsing on scrapbook.com. I posted it to the Yahoo group I belong to. Then another member posted another way to store stickles. This way is more portable and it's what I ended up copying. At first I thought it would be better to get the stuff off my desk, but the portability factor won out. I couldn't find a large acrylic photo frame (holder). I tried the dollar store and JoAnn Fabrics, since it was nearly 7pm already and the streets roll up pretty early compared to Milwaukee on a Saturday night. I stuck with what I found at JoAnn's. They had their frames on sale for 50% off. I found 7x5 frames and thought those should work for two rows. The first one I put the first row of velcro about 3/4" from the top. So only the DB sugar coating fit on the bottom row. The other frame I put it up at about 3/8" from the top and was able to fit more stickles below. These will work until I find a 11x14" acrylic frame on sale or at a garage sale.

















Here are some pix of Halloween. Noah and his
friends getting their scary faces on to go scare people. No, they're not going trick or treating. Hmmm how come Noah had some candy today huh?


Tim and Ian handing out candy.

Yes, the squirrel did not give up! Once this week I went to check mail and peeked out the window on the front door. There he/she was with mitts full of seeds stuffing their little mouth full! I said you little monster and off he/she scampered!

Have a great weekend everyone!
