halloween surprise . . .

What a fun surprise I received in the mail a few days ago!

Lorraine from Paper Vernissage is always so thoughtful!

Thank you Lorraine!

 I hate putting Lorraine's cards away . . . they usually find a place where I display them for awhile.

This cute little skull!!!!

I need to make some of these.

charlotte & chalk . . .

 This is the skeleton that Charlotte came up with.

I love how it turned out.  

She seems to be into making things look creepy these days . . . 

. . . I wonder where she gets that from?

making me smile today . . .

This is when I start having fun making a doll . . . 

I am not sure what I am going to do with these yet - but that is also part of the fun.

 Avery came to visit me at work yesterday. . . 

. . . evidently she likes to doodle also!

 . . . and a new coffee mug.  

Happy Friday!

Happy Tuesday!

Just a reminder . . . 

Find JOY in the everyday stuff!

Happy October . . .

I cannot help myself when it comes to decorating for Halloween.

I thought I would share some of the decorations I have out this year.

I am not sure where this obsession with Halloween came from . . . but it just keeps growing.

HAPPY OCTOBER!

Derby has been delivered . . .

 Once again I participated in Yarnigras' Zombie Doll Swap

Now that Derby has been delivered . . . I can post picture of her.

This year we had to make a miniature zombie.  I really need to make 

some more of these little dolls.  

 Derby is a unique little zombie . . . smaller than most.

She is fun loving, competitive, kind, and fun to be around.

When she is not wandering around looking for delicious humans

. . . you will find her skating and spending time with the

people she cares about. 

They don’t seem to mind that she is a zombie . . .

. . . they just love her for who she is!

Derby doesn’t mind being a zombie . . . if she gets knocked down,

she simply gets back up and keeps going.

Be her friend and she will roll with you until her wheels fall off.  

 Derby with the other items that went along with her in the 

Zombie Doll Swap.

Sometimes little zombie dolls like to hide out . . . 

. . . what better hideout than a black lace bag. 

Zombie Cat . . .

I received this great zombie cat in Yarnigrasswapperspot's zombie doll swap.

It is always fun to participate in this swap.

My swap partner this year happened to live very close . . . so instead of shipping our dolls we met in person to trade them.  This little zombie cat and her zombie mice are so much fun!

She also had this great coffee mug in her bag . . . and the great bone pens below.

My granddaughter Charlotte had to take one of the bone pens to use at school   :)

Thank you Natalie - I love my little zombie cat!

It's October!

. . . let the decorating begin!
