Bumps in the Night Annie REVEAL . . .

Yayyyy!!! Finally! My Halloween Raggedy Ann reveal post... Just got word from my swap partner that she got hers and I NOW get to reveal my Annie I made for Becky



Remember the "teaser" ...



Here she is - in her full cuteness . . .



A Candy Corn Princess! Her dress was in candy corn fabric colors (orange/yellow/creme/white). She has a sparkly pale yellow and clearish white tu-tu that foofs up pretty good. It was GLITTERED of course! I used vintage tinsel for her collar. RickRack for her sleeves. You can't see- but she had mini pom-pom for "socks". She had orange leggings and black shoes. She has a Candy Corn wand that has clear iridescent glitter (you know me all too well folks). Candy Corn colored hair decked with a cute orange satin ribbon and a sparkly rhinestone in the middle of the bow!

She was a lot of fun to make! I almost had a hard time parting with her.

Ever have that happen to you? I know Viv does- she even suggests making doubles (even triples) sometimes. Hahah! I know how it goes! And sometimes I do make doubles and triples!

I sent some candy corn flavored DOTS candy with the doll and something else (can't rem. now tho)

We all used the same pattern: Provided to us by sweet Brenda of Lillie May's Crafts. We used her Sunny Days pattern and we got to dress her up in any Halloween fashion we wanted! Thank you so much Brenda for giving us permission to use your sweet pattern. I enjoyed working with it!

Another Give Away . . .

Happy Monday ... Nope- it's not another Manic Monday ... but I may gone manic for a bit here! Hubby worked over time yesterday and I've got my days mixed up a little! Has that happened to you? So today feels like a Sunday to me! (He works Weds. - Sat. ~ 40 hours)

It's time for another Give Away!
This time it's for a Raggedy Annie Pattern, just like I promised! Have you waited long enough? awwww- were ya'll gettin' impatient? *winks*
Don't we all love that red headed cutie Raggedy Ann!
The Give Away prize is for Cindy's PINK Ribbon Raggedies.

Note- I respect copyright so I won't be direct linking to the image! Instead- I will give you a direct url link so you can fly on over there and peek at Cindy's pattern!
Direct Linking (without permission) is a no-no. Especially when someone pays for their own website/domain! A lot of people don't realize this, but it's true!
Hmmm- maybe I detect a lesson in Copyright and Respect in the future! *makes note to self and Post-It to my forehead*

I thought it would be cool to run this Give Away along with my other Give Away: Pink Ribbon "HOPE" Earrings!

To be entered in this Pink Ribbon Raggedies Pattern Give-Away all I ask is that you . . .
1) Post about the Give Away on your blog! I don't have a fancy button this time! Shucks!

2) Comment here with your blog post link about the "Shout Out".

That's it! Simple? It is! :O)

This Give Away ends on October 12th! So that is ONE week from today!

Note: I will be out of state from Oct. 14-17. So if I haven't been contacted by the winner of this Give Away- I will resume contact when I get back! I just wanted that to be known that I will do my best to communicate with the winner of this Give Away before I leave. Either way- I will get the snail addy and mail out the Prize pattern to the winner! O'Tay?! O'tay!

Happenings for this Month: October

The month of October is HUGE for me!
I love everything about it!
Black n Orange, Pumpkins, Haunted Houses, Halloween decorations, Candy, costumes ...
There's Breast Cancer Awareness, my Birthday: October 29th WoOhOo) and then - my favorite!! Plus there's Autumn- which has finally settled in my hometown (remember I live next door to Death Valley, CA.). It's nice to get back into my comfy sweats and jeans and sweaters. This time of year I also get back into another favorite past time of mine- BAKING!

To start off - I will be posting in PINK all month long in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness!

I've been an active participant in the Pink for October event- the last 2 years and love it! I'm doing it again this year! I hope you'll join me. Now I can't won't be doing my usual background in PINK without messing up the cute Blog deco for this month- I have decided I will post in PINK instead! Sometimes you've gotta compromise! So Pink posts it is!

Hear Ye . . . Hear Ye . . . GIVE AWAYS . . .
(you knew that was coming didn't you *snickers*).
I will be having several Give-Aways on this blog - (because I feel like it and it's my Birthday month) See- I told ya October is HUGE for me :O) So you'll have to check in regularly.

If you're not a follower- now is a good time to do so.

I won't tell you exactly when each Give-Away will be posted, but I will make a separate post for each Give-Away. They'll be random!
The Give-Aways will NOT be on this post!
A link will be provided on the side bar when I make a post about a Give-Away! They won't be all at once either! So you'll have to check in! Makes it funner don'tcha think?! Stay Tuned for the Give-Away posts.

On with the Prizes . . .

In honor Breast Cancer Awareness - I will be giving away your very own Pink Ribbon Raggedies pattern. Created by sweet Cindy M. of Homespun from the Heart. I bought 2 patterns. One for me and I have permission (and purchased) one to GiveAway! This is for a great cause AND Cindy will donate funds from her sales on this pattern! It's a Win/Win! WoOhOo!



Next- I will be giving away a Glinda the Good Witch pattern. Also created by Cindy M. of Homespun from the Heart.
I thought this was perfect! It's PINK, a witchy poo for Halloween and a Raggedy! I was sold! Caute pattern too!
Besides -this is how I came up with this months theme "Raggedy Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun"! Glinda inspired the title!


I will be making a "Pink for October" inspired Raggedy Ann doll.

I will also be having a couple of give aways on my Opal Moon Enchantments blog.

See- October is full of mystery too! Some tricks and some treats - ya just never know! Mwahahaha!





Hugs & Blessings!
