I'm excited to share with you my wonderful gifts from my Sweet and Sinister partner, Candice Carpenter! She was so fun to shop for...and of course receive from. Check out all these goodies. So many of the items I had been eyeing in her shop, like the giant black feathers, black and orange glass glitter, trims, candies...and so much more!
Love this crow on a white pumpkin. Perfect with my decor.
I was thrilled to recieve one of her famous handmade banner. So much attention to detail here. Everything just pops. I LOVE this!!!
Here is the package I mailed to Candice. I pretty much stuck to completely black and white besides the scarecrow image in the shadow box.
She loves vintage. I found this amazing black vintage hat with loads of huge black velvet bows. Also this box of vintage straws with a black and white circus image just screamed Candice. She was over the moon about the black and cream striped box. That was really hard to give away, but I knew she'd adore it!
I've been doing lots of old school scrapbooking lately. I'm really excited to update my books with pages telling the story through images of the magnificent fall we are having here.
If you're looking for some neat Halloween craft projects, Jennifer Pebbles posted a free online class over here at 2Peas to make some wickedly wonderful wall art.
Also, crafzine has a fabulous Halloween mask tutorial here.
Be sure and visit here as well for wonderful inspiration from the Sweet and Sinister group.
Happy Crafting!

Great gifts to and fro! I was too late to get in on the official swap but a friend of mine in Belgium matched me up with a friend of hers and we swapped. What fun! The best part is that I have a new friend too!
