2nd Annual Octoberfest Blog Hop 2013

I keep asking myself,

"Just when did October get here?"

It seems like this year just flew right by.

This time of year is always my fav.

Basketball, the world series, football and hockey..

Oh wait that should be saved for another blog. HA!

I love the changing of the colors,

the oranges, reds and yellows just amaze me.

Colder weather means lots of hot cocoa and good books.

Rita of  Toltec Jewels, put out a call for her 

2nd Annual Octoberfest blog hop,

I had to get in the fun.

Last year I was just a newbie to creating.

and was very afraid to show a piece.

To anyone!

This year I made a bracelet that 

represented October to me.

I also made a pair of earrings.

 One more bracelet.

All of these pieces are available at my etsy

I want to thank Rita for allowing me to be a part of this years hop.

I always enjoy your hops.

Here is a list of the other participants...

Lots of talent here.. 

So grab something to drink and Enjoy!!

Octoberfest 2012 Blog Hop

Happy Octoberfest 2012!

Rita from Toltec Jewels

announced she was hosting a blog hop that had to do with Octoberfest, 

I wanted to get in on it..

October brings lots of fun to our household...

Halloween,  The World Series, Fall & Friendship.

I wanted to share two things that I love but have come together as one.

I have a love for horror films and graphic designs.

So I decided to share some of my fav tags that either I have made or have been made for me.

I hope you enjoy them as I enjoy making them.

 A good friend of mine Dina made this for me as I love 

Jack Skellington :)

Saw is definitely one of my fav movies.. 

 The Walking Dead is a fierce tv show about Zombies.

A tag collection is not complete without a

Halloween taggie.

Halloween without Thriller is like

trick or treating without candy.. lol

A few Frankenstien taggies

 I hope you enjoyed a few of my tags.

I know I enjoy making them.

I also wanted to share something I made

with some seed beads..

I know it is something small, but this is my first attempt at using a pattern..
