Trick or treat bag

I made this little bag for my daughter for Halloween. She's away at University and my hubby is going to be able to visit with her...work trip. I'm sending along this little guy with a Halloween gift. I always get my kids a little something for all the holidays. My daughter is a health fanatic...therefore no treats for her. I'm sending a little charm for her Chamilia bracelet. I love how this little bag turned out...easy peasy!!

Altered bag

You know when you're looking for a gift bag...you have something in mind...but are unable to find it?
Make your own. I always give my little nephew a gift on all the holiday get together meals. It gives the little guy something to do at these dinners. I always try to theme the gift and the wrapping. This year I couldn't find a cute turkey bag to save my life. I decided to make my own out of an American Eagle bag. I think it turned out great.

Recipe:

• bag to cover (recycle one)
• all solids were scraps-Bazzill, recollections and worldwin-cardstock
• patterned paper-Imaginisce-fall line
• Stampin' Up border punch
• Cricut cart-Simply Charmed

New Orleans

I just got back from a trip to New Orleans with the Hubby. We had to go for a partners conference...it was spousal so they had a lot of fun things planned. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria-The Roosevelt. It was gorgeous...the hubby booked us a suite. We had a great time. Too much food and liquor for a  normally non-drinking Canadian like me. You have to train to go there...like eating 9 meals a day prior to going. It turns out fried foods don't like me very much. I had crawfish, gumbo, jambalya, alligator, etoufille, red beans and rice, fried oysters, beignettes...hurricanes (avoid these drinks!!) We went on a French Quarter horse carriage tour. A city bus tour of...garden district, katrina, french quarter, cemetaries...it was great. We went on a Bayou tour and fed the alligators...chicken and marshmallows? They have a sweet tooth. I decided to stay out of the water as my blood type is Hershey.Bourbon street was crazy, smelly and dangerous. The police are all over...I'm not sure what they do as anything goes. You can drink anywhere, the street, malls as long as it is in a can or plastic glass. Nudity apparently isn't a problem either.Yikes! We actually had a Mardi Gras. They closed down the streets for us...dressed us up in boas, hats and beads. The police led the way...followed by a Marching band and jesters on stilts...then came 350 partners and their wives.They marched us down Bourbon Street and down the next street to the House of Blues(which was shut down for our private party) They had an unbelievable band and great food...what a blast. Anyways...long story short...this is why I've been gone and not posting. Hope to be back to normal soon. Lee-Ann :)
