Halloween is a comin'!

However, here at casa De Roberts it has already begun! Tonight was our second weekend, 3rd Annual Halloween Haunted Forest Maze! My husband, my kids, and I are big Halloween fanatics! Every year we have a party, but the last three years we combined it with a Haunted Maze in our back yard! All the kids at the High School and at the Middle School that know my kids flock over here on Halloween night and weekends before the big day to walk through our Haunted Forest Maze! It's a free maze for the community to enjoy. Our neighbors know that during October to put their plugs in on weekends! They all make sure to come through the maze at least once too... each year they scream their heads off!

So, let me show you some of the make-up I do on the kids to prepare for this...

Here is my son Christian. With some latex, face paints, and messing up his hair I can do this in 15 minutes flat now! What's really cool is that, that really is his wild hair and he can actually move the jaw and upper mouth because it's not a mask that you slip on.

Here are my crazy Rag dolls. The belong in our Doll Factory... it's haunted with all the dolls Rio has abandoned. I love making them up to look this creepy!

My kooky husband lost his head! Imagine this coming toward you in the dark and instead of the top head talking the one being held in the middle is the one talking! LOL my husband is 6'2" then the costume adds about another 6-8 inches!

Close up!

This is just my Puhrty fireplace with all my puhrty Pun-kins!

And the scariest of them all! This is my Jude... he is 23 months old. He was sooo funny tonight, the boys would growl and slide on the ground to scare people and he would do the same! He is such a brave little guy doesn't faze him! Too cute, then as the guests are leaving he says, "Bye bye Q Q! The Q Q means Thank you! It's so cute, I have to get that on tape! He also ran around tonight and yesterday singing "Mamamaa Maish!" It's the Monster Mash he is trying to sing! Soo cute! My little guy!

There is so much more to come next weekend too! It's the big Halloween Weekend woot woot! See you all soon hope you enjoyed the pictures of my fun night with my family!

Jude and his Shenanigan Crew Christmas Blog Hop!!

Merry Christmas! Okay so it's not Christmas really, but I do have some new fun Christmas images for you all! Jude and his Crew have begun to decorate the halls and our blogs!

My little Jude really does light up my life, so I thought this a perfect card and Sentiment for him! I am going to put this little card in his album for him to enjoy in the future! After all it is Jude, and believe it or not last year he got into the Christmas lights and tangled himself and his sister up!

I used We R Memory Keepers paper Merry and Bright Collection. The Light string is from Jo-Ann Fabric in the Misc. Christmas Crafts. I used my Copics to color up Judester and Lables 14 from Spellbinders!

I hope you like him and have enjoyed your hoping around! All the Shenanigan's are now available and on sale until October 31st so go ahead and stock up! Christmas is coming up fast!

Punky Teens Christmas new Release blog hop!

Hello everyone and welcome! After getting together this amazing blog hop, some snags in the road, and lots of sleep deprivation I am so excited you are here! You probably made your way over here from Angela's blog and again I welcome you! These new images are quickly becoming a favorite out there! The Punky Teens may not hit a very large audience, but they have hit quite a few of you and I am so excited about it! Thank you for the continued support! Now let's meet the Christmas Punky Teens (now available at Simply Betty Stamps .com)!

First off we have Becky... is that not the classic face for I am sooo addicted to Candy Canes! Love those cyber locks in her hair too!

Next up is Jimmi... he is looking pretty upset that he went through all the trouble of taking of his sock to find nothing in it! Maybe he should have hung it by the fire place eh?

Now Margo... she is one of my favorites in this line, she looks so sweet with that gift hiding behind her back, her furry hoodie, and cool messenger bag!

Randy is a little bit quirky, holding on tight to that big Santa Sack of hers!

Tristan is ready to trim that tree! Is he the cutest little guy or what!?

Trixie really got into the spirit of gifting!

I hope you enjoy these images! I look forward to seeing them pop up all over the place!

Here is the blog hop order and don't forget to head back to the Simply Betty Challenges to upload your card for a guest DT spot in November!

Here is the hop list in case you get lost along the way:

Knott's Scary Farm!

What a night! It's the second time we hit Knott's Scary Farm, but this time we had a group of 10! It was totally awesome! So much to see, so much screaming... my voice is super raspy today! LOL I had the pleasure of being in between my husband Christopher and my ex husband Christopher (yep both Christophers no typo) during the haunted mazes! So I was semi-covered! But the ghosts, goblins, monsters, and dead people can smell fear! So they would single me out every now and again. Of course they singled out my daughter Rio, her friend Meghan and my friend Lyndsie! The three of them were so cute huddle together at every maze, and then would scream all together as if in sync! It was like stereo surround sound at times! Those girls have a set of lungs boy! Here are some really awesome pictures we took. Hope you all enjoy the pictures we really had a blast!

Rio and Steampunk Ghoul

Me and the same Steampunk Ghoul! I still have a little extra maternal tissue but I am working on it! LOL

My ex-husband Christopher to the right and his friend Sam with one of the clowns stomping around scaring people half to death with his horn!

Same clown, with Rio my daughter and her friend Meghan.

Lyndsie, Meghan and Rio waiting for Inferno. A super cool fire dancers, they did really awesome stuff with fire torches, fire hula-hoops, all sorts of fun fire stuff!

Turned out that Sam my ex-husband's friend is a good friend of one of the dancers from Inferno so the kids got to meet the cast... That big kid with the goofy smile in between the two dancers to the left... is my husband! I let him slide this one time with the sexy girls lol!

Now the ex-husband with the sexy girls.. I am so telling his wife! LOL Isn't it funny... both the ex and the current are Christophers but they are so different! Guess our tastes change as we grow... Christopher #1 was during my rock and roll days and I was very young. Christopher #2 is more mellow and slow and family oriented... not that the first one isn't but he's still very comfortable being alone more than surrounded by family all the time!

This vampire lady followed Rio for 10 minutes! Finally Rio said, "Okay mom take a picture so she leaves me alone and see's I am not scared anymore!" Aren't the costumes just rad!?

Traivs with the same Steampunk Ghoul! He was so funny, he would put the dead head he was carrying around in your face and make kissy noises! He wanted you to kiss the head! He was on stilts too so super tall and would come out of nowhere!

The kids waitin for the show from left to right: Rio mydaughter, her friends Meghan and Lynsdie, Travis is Meghan's brother and a complete fun fool to be around, my son's girlfriend Paige, and my son Christian. The six of them had such a blast it made it super fun for me and the rest of the adults!

Not bad for a night out with the kids eh? Super fun stuff. We still have to check out Magic Mountain's Fright Fest! Woot woot! I can't wait. Too bad the little one is still to small for all this fun!

Welcome all you Stampotique fans! I am this week's host for Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog! Woot woot! Today, being October and all I wanted to do something other than a card... something fun for Halloween. What's more fun that receiving a Treat bag? Even more fun would be a Treat bag, box, or tin with Stampotique Images! I mean they are sooo spooky and cool right? So, for this week the gals at Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog have created fun Treat containers to inspire you.

Here is mine... I used Mink and Halloween Cube 2 by Daniel Torrente found at Stampotique Originals! Aren't they just the cutest!? The paper is Haunted by Reminisce, and the alphas are from K& Co. I used my Copics to color in all the images, and the bow is from Michaels. I am so excited that I was able to give away this treat bag right away! To my favorite teller at my bank! She was so amazed and happy with it... she's not a stamper so she thought it was super super cool! Hope you all enjoy it as well!
