Treats, Not Tricks!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I thought it would be fun to give you all a treat on this fun filled day. And some of my buddies are going to link up some treats too!

I made 9 different chevron backgrounds, free for you!

It's up in my TpT store for you!

And some pals of mine have freebies too! A great mix of all sorts of things!  If you have any, feel free to link up! The party closes on Halloween :)

Hopping and Swapping

I'm so excited! Next Saturday is a blog hop and swap! I'll be guest blogging on another blog and I'll have a guest blogger on mine, my first one!

Check out some of the other bloggers that are hopping and swapping (and some sharing freebies) by clicking the picture:

And also that day I'm guest blogging for Chrissy. Guess I really jump into things, no guest posting and then twice in the same day! Though it wasn't intentional :) I'm super excited. 

Tomorrow is my Monday Made It post to link up with Tara. Yay!

Monday Made It

Yay, I'm finally linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It (I keep typing Made it Monday lol).

This is really fitting since yesterday was Father's Day. My dad LOVES to BBQ, well actually Traeger..it's like a BBQ but it also allows you to smoke the food too. You can make ANYTHING on the Traeger. I had a friend make cookies! Of course she didn't smoke it lol.

He's always using a plate to put the chicken, salmon, or whatever he's cooking on. Usually it's chicken though, since that's his thing in the BBQ competition.

I saw this fun and easy project on Pinterest I'd been wanting to try. Can I say again how easy it was? Easy!

This is the project that inspired my craft:

Well I had to make it less girly, so I didn't do cursive. And I didn't write a story/poem/song. But that would be fun! Instead, I used grilling/cooking terms specific for my dad.

Frame from The 3 AM Teacher

Simple materials right? I already had a sharpie. And an oven...imagine that lol :) So I just bought a cheapo $1 plate.

Then I thought about the words I wanted to write and where. I decided to just go around the border.

Then I also had a blue sharpie and used it to make those blue accent dots. Hmm maybe this is a good excuse to go buy a rainbow sharpie pack. Anyway, pop in the oven at 150 degrees for 30 minutes. I've also seen info for 30 minutes at 350. 

My final project! 

My words include chicken, chef, smoke, flame, fish, cook..

Simple project, fun, and cheap! I could see doing one for birthdays, Christmas, any potluck or gathering really. Christmas I could put Christmas song titles, gatherings I could put 'friends', 'food', 'talk'... oh the possibilities are endless. Good thing the plates are only $1 :)

I also posted this on Endless Pinabilities!

       Glass shattered as I dropped the glass with my drink in it. Not really noticing the puddle on the floor, I had to take a double glance out the window to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. My hair stood up on the back of my neck, my skin prickling with goose bumps. Descending out of the sky slowly like a feather floating down to Earth, a giant silver flying saucer was hovering mere inches above my lawn. The heat radiating from the bottom of the saucer scorched my perfectly manicured lawn, leaving a giant brown radius of grass. I was momentarily blinded by the glint of the sun bouncing off the smooth silver surface of the object. I grasped the windowsill as the silver saucer started to lower.

Paint Chips Galore and More

So you know how I help at my friend's work once a month for a class? (Well if you didn't, you do now lol.) Anyway, we made water squirt tubes out of pvc pipe and it was a ton of fun. On the way out, I was glancing at the paint chip samples and even though I knew the answer would be yes, I asked if I could grab a handful, thinking that maybe next week (or two) I can get started on a project.


Well, yep, my answer was yes. Then my jaw dropped as my friend continued talking. She told me not only could I have a handful. I could have the WHOLE display of paint chip samples because they are going to be selling a new brand of paint at her store and not that brand anymore. In fact, she said they'd box them all for me and write my name on it. SCORE!!!!!!!!

Now that I'm going to have a gazillion paint samples, I'm going to have to figure out what to do with all them. So I hopped on my Pinterest and went straight to my Paint Chip DIY board I created to get some ideas.

Those are super cute, but I don't know if I have a flower punch. Ok on to the next idea.

Now that I am going to make! I like how the colors are layered too, more abstract looking.

I think when I get the load of paint chips, then I'll do something like this. I love how it looks!

Love this! Same concept as above, but with monogram. Again, I'll wait for my big supply :)

A paint chip calendar...I love it!

Now I've got other pins, but they're holiday related and some are card ideas, so I won't work on those yet. I also have seen some paint chip garlands that look cute.

Do you have any paint chip projects you've pinned? I'd love more ideas! 

Oh before I forget, have you signed up for the "To Be Continued" Linky Party over at Michele's blog, The 3 AM Teacher? It's going to be a continuous story!

 I'm participating and can't wait! So I get this little beauty:

 You can still sign up but not much longer, so don't wait!
