Happy Halloween, Part One
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. When my kids were little, they always had great costume ideas, and we had a lot of fun pulling them together (although sometimes nobody outside of our family had a clue what they were). They're not little anymore, though, so costumes -- if they want them -- are their own responsibilities. This year, I've been scouting some Halloween sites of my own. (Photography counts as an Artful Craft, doesn't it?)
Here's the first ... taken about 50 yards from my front door:

Stay tuned next week and I'll post a few more. And, don't forget to enter my drawing for Mostly Metals.

I heart Mondays and Halloween
OK, I know this is the third time I've posted this picture of my girl here, but I just realized she's got a big green heart and she is my favorite Halloween decoration...

I heart Mondays
Here's what I made with the millefiori hearts from my friend:

It's a delicate necklace using all the hearts and just an accent of Czech glass along the chain. Just what I need this winter to remember summer flowers and friends!

New Altered You review on Amazon
Altered You! just received another 5-star review on Amazon.com. What I love about this review is that this 40-something crafter is "altering" the projects and making them for herself. There really is something for everyone within the pages! Thanks for the awesome review, Julie.
