I'm ready for the school carnival

I hate being poor but I'm glad I taught myself to face paint. Now I can dress up even if I can't afford a costume. It doesn't help that I have such excellent taste in costumes. The one I want is a black widow spider and is $75 - yikes. Maybe I can get it after Halloween 75% off and save it for next year. I did buy the black fiber with my Michaels coupon so I could make my hair falls.

I'm also going to a party tonight. I think I will keep the hair falls but may change the paint to sexy swirls or maybe a sugar skull on half the face. I have to be at least half way pretty. Which half is the pretty half is up to the beholder or beer holder as the case may be.

Some creepy creations

To be added to my Witches Cupboard Swap box. Image from Altered Pages.




A Frida button bat fairy. Frida stamp from Invoke Arts.




An homage to the gothic novel. Woman is from Stampland Chicago. Web is Stampin'Up!



An homage to Poe - the beating, the beating, the beating of his hideous heart. Heart is from Stamp Francisco.

Behold - the uterus of power!

Mixed Media Monday - Famous People

Here is my submission for MMM. The Marilyn stamp is from Stampsmith.

I need input

Ack! I haven't been creating as much lately and now I am indecisive. So what do you think flower in the middle? On the side? Or no flower? And do you think I should add some more embellishment to the crown or leave it alone. Help me!

Miss Minnie

I miss little Rylee Boo. I closed my home daycare and now am a work outside of the home mom. I like my new job. It's nice to be out of the house and with grown ups but I miss the kiddos. Miss thing was going to preschool anyway but I do get attached. I had her since she was eight weeks old and it makes me sad that they won't even remember me. Her little baby sister was the sweetest. I do love the babies. They just don't stay little, bitty babies long enough. Still, it was time to move on. I was lucky to have a job with the great benefits of hugs and being told you are loved for seven years.

Mama Mia here I go again

I just went to see Mama Mia and I can't stop singing Abba songs. It was so much fun and I had to sing along at the movies.
