It's the Great Secret Pumpkin Exchange Blog Hop day 2

How are you all enjoying the hop so far?  

Pretty cool yeah?

Today I have something a little bit different to share.  I have Some fun pictures from our own little maze we put together every year.  Each year we save up all the donations we receive from visitors and add to the maze.  From last year's donations we were able to put in two new scenes... a Zombie Babies ward, and the Widow's Lair scene.

Here is the Zombie Baby ward.. pretty creepy if you ask me!

 Baby Jimmy Jugular

 Baby Hungry Harold

 Our Nurse Rotting Rio, and proud Mommy Looney Lyndsie!

Our Widow's Lair With Crazy Christina!

I have already shared my secret Pumpkin so I thought today I'd share a bit about me, my crazy family, and our loony ward (our home) during October!  We do this every weekend starting the second weekend in October, and this is our fourth year.  We had an outstanding night tonight!  I will of course share more pictures tomorrow with tomorrow's post!  And well it's Halloween!!!  Now here's an awesome picture of me, and two of my ghouls... However your next stop is Cyndi (which was my secret Pumpkin hee hee)!

Here's the blog hop list for today in case you have lost your way!

It's the Great Secret Pumpkin Exchange Blog Hop!

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is my absolute FAVORITE Halloween movie!  I love it, watch it all the time, Halloween or not!  

So as you have already read on the SBS blog... I had this crazy idea of doing a Secret Santa... or Pumpkin as I much more prefer Halloween goodies instead of Christmas goodies!  

This is what I got from my Secret Pumpkin person... LINDA!!

An awesome card Featuring Draco the Ghost, a Chocolate Dollar, and an awesome box made with Witchy Wednesday, and of course the socks below... 

 Here's a close up of the card...isn't it fabulous!

My warm Pumpkin socks!  Whoot whoot!  Have I ever told you all that I have a Sock obsession?  That's why I did this Secret Pumpkin exchange and made my gals include Halloween sockies!  Aren't they like super, duper awesome!!

Well I hope you are enjoying the whole Secret Pumpkin Trick or Treat Blog hop so far, I will have a new project tomorrow for you, no more Secret Pumpkin goodies, but I do have a few other fun stuffs!

What's New Wednesday at Canadian Nickel Scrap'n

Hello, hello all you happy bloggers!  

Today I am super excited to be Guest Designer for Canadian Nickel Scrap'n blog!  Whoot whoot! If you are new to her blog you are in for a treat!  She has the most amazing projects, gets sooo much done and still has time to be a mean baking and cooking mommy and I am sure awesome wife!

Check her out she is fun, fun, fun!

First, off I want to thank Nicole for having me... she and I go way back, and the love of Halloween is something I think will bond us forever and ever!  

As many of you know, I am the owner of Simply Betty Stamps. I am a crafter by heart.  Have always been, I think I started the scrapbook trend! HA HA HA!

I remember having a polaroid camera, taking pictures of my friends constantly and making my own scrapbooks with my doodles, and stickers I found here and there.  Again, all this before the Scrapbooking industry hit!  I fell in love with rubber stamping in High School.  I remember walking in to my first stamp store called Stamp, Stamp, Stamp.  I looked at a few stamps and thought, "Oh my gosh, these are expensive I will never have a collection!"  Well, here we are 4355 wooden stamps (that's after two months of purging), 285 clear stamp sets, and well not to mention my own lines, later!  

Nothing is more soothing to me than sitting, stamping and coloring!  Crafting in general really!

Here are a few cards with our new line the Coquettes!

I would like to offer all six clear stamps as a thank you prize for Nicole's What's New Wedneday.... she can figure out the distribution and give you all the details on how you can win these cuties!

Thank you for stopping by have a great Wednesday.
