Spooky Monday

Happy Spooky Monday!
Just a few little things to show you....another visit to Home Goods yielded some neat things.
Some hot cocoa mix, it's Orange!

Coffee..it smells so incredible.

A view of our table..there's pumpkins at the grocery store!
Next week I will try and capture images of the Pumpkin patch girl, and the ghosts haunting our hallway.
Check out wendy's adventures in wonderland to see more spookiness.
See you later!

Pink Saturday 9/11

Happy Pink Saturday!
I took this right after it rained,I love the way the water drops look like rhinestones.
We had a very special birthday this past week! unfortunately the guest of honor is working in Germany right now,so we baked him a cake and took pictures of it to send him.Since he had no choice in the decor, Helena and I made it pink!I got this at a thrift store for 2 dollars! it fits perfectly on Helena's little bed,it would still be perfect if Gidget hadn't ripped it a little..oh well, i can mend it.Gidget
I made another little pixie.. holding little twin hearts.God Bless the people that lost their lives on 9/11/01.

July Paper Dress

Well,I've got 5 down...!
Here is my dress for July...I guess I've been peeking at the tabloids while in line at the grocery store,and it seems like every time I look, there's another awards ceremony.
So I decided to make a Grammy/Emmy dress.
I used red paper,and ribbon . A bit of beaded trim, & red white and blue rhinestones for Independence Day.
For more paper dress goodness go to Alice and Camilla's dress up challenge!
Have a great day!

Creative spirit

Hi again,this is for the Creative spirit challenge On Cindy's wonderful blog.

Song lyrics were the inspiration for this.I used a record I bought at a thrift store.I sanded it down to remove the shininess.His arms are fiber trim.The legs have a 'concrete' look to them.The song is called Bed shaped,so I used paper with a sheet design.
I added the song to my playlist,in case you want to give it a listen.
Thanks!

Three Muses Challenge:Back to Nature

A couple of days ago Helena and I went outside and found a ladybug in a bucket of water,I took it out and when it dried off a bit I set it on her hand.It crawled all over her hands and arms,we couldn't take it off of her!
When I finally managed to get it onto a leaf ,she cried and cried because she believed it was her good friend.
This painting is my entry for the Three Muses Weekly Challenge.And a gift for Helena and her friend!

snow!

I would like to thank Anna@FrostedPetunias for sharing the code for the glitter/snow that she has on her blog.You're awesome!

May Paper Dress

Another dress for the Dress Up Challenge at Alice and Camilla.
May isn't too hot here in the desert,We get a few nice evenings...
I used an old vineyard calendar for the main part of the dress,the picture made me feel like a cool fresh breeze was on my skin.The 'grapes' are pearl beads that were painted with 3D paint, then dusted with red micro glitter.



Have a beautiful day!

Spooky Monday

Happy Spooky Monday!
I went to Home Goods the other day (it was Anna's post that inspired me)and bought this vanilla soap.I love the label.

Then I made this little skele-girl out of paper clay. Her skirt is felt and glitter.

Pink saturday

Hello and Happy Pink Saturday to everyone!
I've always liked the color Pink, but now that I'm participating in this wonderful tradition,I've come to admire it even more,Thank you Beverly for inviting us to join in.
This lip gloss tastes like cotton candy.And I think the little tin looks vintage.

It's so amazing how large bougainvillea grow..had to stop and photograph them.


I made this little doll with paper clay,and curling ribbon.I had some doll arms that fit just right and I felted her wig.She has a picture of her beloved Mozart close to her heart.

Have a great day!
