Halloween Test Tubes

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Saturday we did our Ghost Tracks train ride. It was fun and something different!

Nothing scary at all which is how I like Halloween!

Here are just a few pictures of our Ghost Ride.

The Headless Conductor named Kenny!

Our Ghost Tracks Story Teller. She was dressed in olden day attire.

Our tickets

The story that was told on the Ghost Tracks was about the Civil War and the White House. Not sure if it was true or not but our story teller made it very interesting! Our train ride was sold out! They have many different train rides during the year. Some are educational and some are just to see the Fall Foliage. If you live locally you can check them out....

Yesterday was quite the dreary, rainy, windy day here in PA!

We hibernated in the family room most of the day with a log in the fireplace. It got quite chilly yesterday. I turned the heat on last evening to take the chill off. I even seen some places had snow yesterday! I'm SO NOT ready for that!

So, today I have one last project to share with you for Halloween. It is my last one for 2017.

I recently purchased a Paper Pumpkin Kit off of Ebay from September 2016 called Something Good to Eat. Here are the Halloween Test Tubes I made up.

I filled my test tubes with Orange Tic Tacs and put the cork stopper in. I tied the Halloween Night Baker's Twine around them and added my tag. All I stamped was the sentiment and these were completed! Wouldn't you know it, just last week I found Halloween Tic Tacs at my local Giant grocery store. I looked high & low mid September and never found them so I just used the Orange ones. Errrrr! These would have looked awesome with Halloween colored Tic Tacs in them, don't ya think?

My thoughts today....

This evening is the Red Lion Halloween Parade.

The weather is to be be windy & cool. A great way to gear up for Trick or Treat Night tomorrow!

That is all for me today!

I am headed downstairs to either work on finishing a card order or cleaning the family room.

Not sure which one I am feeling at the moment. I think I need a few more cups of coffee to get me started! LOL

Thanks for stopping by & have a terrific day!

Valentine's M&M Holders

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday I wanted to do a blog update but the day just got away from me!

Hopefully today's post will make up for my absence.

A few weeks ago I was cleaning out my iris carts and found a couple packs of test tube containers that I had purchased from Papertreyink moons ago! They were still sealed in the cello bags. I decided to make them up for Valentine's Day with M&M's and get rid of what was left of them. I think they packaged up very well and my customers went crazy over them!

I had 15 left and believe it or not but I went thru 2 bags of M&M's to fill these. They definitely hold more than you think!

I used a variety of stamps & papers on these.


Test Tube Holders:

Cut cardstock 1 1/2 X  9
Score at 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 3/4, 3 3/4
Take bone folder over score lines for a nice crease.  I used a 3/4 in circle punch to make the opening for where the test tube sits in. Then glue the 1/2 in end and decorate! Very simple!

Well, that's all for me today!

Busy day with laundry and getting my ducks in a row for my Stampin Up party tomorrow evening. My stamp room needs a good straightening up too! LOL So much too do and so little energy!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day, friends!
