GETTING READY FOR THE ART SHOW

I'm putting the finishing touches on some of my pieces for the Spooktacular Art Show tomorrow!

I've been pretty busy today, and am really looking forward to the show. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to post, and I can't wait to see all of the amazing works of art.

It really is going to be SPOOKTACULAR!

HALLOWEEN PRESENTS!

The in-laws came to visit the Manor for a few days, and they brought Halloween presents! Here are a few of the goodies..... but I can't help but wonder why they always bring me a "witch". I wonder what that means?

LET'S GET CRAFTY!

I love looking at all of the seasonal fabrics when they come in the craft stores, because I get inspired to make new pillows, tablecloths and whatever I can stitch together!

I found this pretty cool fabric design that I thought would go great as a table runner and pillow combo for in the living room. All the materials cost me about $12 and I had the look completed in one afternoon! Check it out!

REST IN PEACE

Here lies the final resting place for Percy The Pumpkin. Think it might scare off those pesky door to door salesmen? **Bwah-hahahaha*!

THE GREAT PUMPKIN

Well as you all know, I just looooooove pumpkins! Usually I love doing a cute and crafty pumpkin to sit on the front step.....but this year, I decided that I was going to go a bit more scary and wanted to have a ZOMBIE PUMPKIN to greet the guests who show up at the Manor.

Let the carving begin!

Now let's add some blood to make him "zombi-fied" and put him in his final resting place!

MY LITTLE BAGS OF TRICKS

Here's one of my latest projects, this one of a fashion nature. I made my own designer handbag! I got the black bag from Michael's for a dollar (no kidding!) and some sparkly accents, and just ironed it on the bag, So easy it only took about 20 minutes..... fabulous!

I'M BAAAAACK.....

Sorry for not posting in quite a while...so many things needed my immediate attention, and the hubby and I made a few changes at work. (We decided to move on to a better opportunity! Yay for us!) Thanks for the concerned e mails and for being very patient! More news on our return to the airwaves coming soon! (More yay for us!)

But since then.... I've decided to take some much needed time off (sent the hubby off to get started ahead of me....hehehe) and I've been giving the Mansion the Halloween Holiday Makeover!

Here's some recent pics of what I've been up to......
