Banner Party!

Good Monday morning!  I somehow think the term "Good Monday morning" is definitely as oxymoron.  What's good about Monday! 

Last weekend was my craft groups banner making party at my house and I had a ball!  It was so much fun to see what everyone made.  As always we had tons of delicious food for snacking on and I decorated a little for Halloween since we were making Fall/Halloween banners.
 
Here are some of my friends diligently working on the cut outs.
This lady decide to just make one large rosette with a scarecrow.  I love her tassel at the bottom.
This friend made this banner for her newly engaged son's home! 
This is my sister!  I love her banner with cats and owls and spooky things.

D decided to make hers vertical with an Autumn theme

J used a preprinted banner like the one I made and added her own touches.

Yours Truly went with rosettes and a Peanuts theme.
 
Did you spot my prized tree in the background?  That tacky, gaudy, wonderful electric blue tree?
Oh yeah!  With a few Halloween decorations on it.  I don't think I am going to keep it up until Halloween, 3 months is too long for a tree in the kitchen!
These are a few decorations I made for the tree.

I love this green witch

Hope you're not afraid of spiders!
I also made all the participants ribbon corsages in a Halloween/Fall theme and of course forgot to take a photo of them before I gave them out!  But on all the photos everyone is wearing them!
So here we are, such a refined group of ladies.
Or not!
 
I also made a couple of other Halloween decorations on Sunday.
Inspired by my friends large rosette, I made a Halloween one.  This is so much cuter in person, I stink at taking photos.
I am still deciding if I like the "Eeeeek" or not.  It's not glued on yet.
Isn't this the sweetest little witch spoolie?  I love making spoolies!
 
Did you have a fun weekend?  I sure hope so!
 
Blessings
 
Linda

I bet you had a lot of fun with your craft gang! Amazing the chatter and creativity all at one table! Not ready for Halloween projects in MN yet, we wait too long for summer to get here!

I love your wonderfully tacky blue tree and it's perfect for your Halloween decorations. What a fun day with friends. Crafting and food! Who could ask for more? I wish I lived closer. I would have loved to have joined the party!
