Cupcake Crafts # 62 – Things That Go Bump In the Night!

Challenge 62 - Bump in the night

With Halloween fast approaching our challenge at Cupcake Crafts this week is to make something with a spooky feel to it!  I have made a little Halloween treat holder (the jelly snakes you can just about see peeking over the top were eaten within 10 minutes of this photo being taken)!  I have used a Lauren Meader template called Petal Pockets and used my favourite Doodlebug papers.  Our sponsor this week is our very own Jeannette so make sure you pop along to the blog to check out all the other girls amazing creations.

Hugs,

If at first you don’t succeed…

Michelle's card

I made this card for my DT card for this week’s Mo’s Challenge then realised I had used WAY more than 2 embellishments so had to start again!!  I decided to send this card to my fabulous ProMarker DT bud Michelle for her birthday which was on Friday. I have used a gorgeous image available from Mo’s Digital Pencil called “Tuesday’s Child and coloured her of course with PMs.

Right, off to have another cup of tea – have a teeny tiny bit of a hangover after a party last night – I really should stay away from wine!

Hugs,

Shameless plug alert!!

A few of you may know that in my real life I manage our portfolio of approx 40 properties around the Wirral / Merseyside area.  We started building it up around 7 years ago and have now taken the plunge and set up a Lettings Agency.  Here comes the “plug” part.  Our lovely new website went live about 3 weeks ago and we are trying to get it optimized in Google etc so eventually it appears on page 1 for Wirral lettings searches.  This will obviously take some time but I thought to give it a wee boost I would ask all my lovely blogging friends to help us out by just clicking on our link so that it tots up some hits and helps push us up through the Google pages.  

FIVE ESTATES LOGO (640 X 480)

You don’t need to do anything except click the link – the more unique hits we have the better.  Why “Five Estates” I hear you ask!  Well, it took three months of trying to come up with a company name that was available at Companies House, as a .com and .co.uk domain.  EVERYTHING we tried had already been taken so we then came up with Five Estates simply because we have 5 children!!!!!  No mystery!

Ok, thanks to everyone who clicks on us – I’m eternally grateful!  If you feel like telling anyone else about us too it would be fantastic – the more clicks the better for us.
