Halloween Fun! At work today, we girls decided to be RETIRED HOOTERS girls! Haaaaaahehehe, big hanging low bbbbbbbballoons! I made the t-shirts so we would look like members of the same team! Hehehe! Mary is on the left, Me, Julie and Cathy!
This is Julie and her sweet Grandbaby Ethan (Curious George)! Ohhhhhh he is a dollie! And you are right......Julie is a GREAT lookin' Grandma! She is a doll too!

It is hard to make change with those TWINS in the way! :0)

A bit more than any of us would EVER wish for! Hahehehehe!

Steve works for us at the restaurant, doing tables and trays! He was in the Halloween spirit too!
We had a laugh filled day!

If you recall......last year we were the LUNCH LADIES and this topped that I think! Customers were roaring!!!!!!!!!! Too funny! Happy Halloween!

Muahaha, here is our scary witch for this years carved pumpkin! She has a ggggreat evil nose (the stem of course) and the rest is carved and some fun added hair and hat too!
Don't be afraid! BOOOOOOO!

Fall colors here are just about past their prime, but I wanted to share some of the beautiful and inspiring shades that God has graced us with the FALL! Enjoy!
Ohhhhhh, the eagle is a carved tree some people have in their front yard.........awesome!!!!!


I did not carve this.......it is in some people's yard, but it is an amazing eagle........I would stain it if it were me........:0) I would love this in MY yard too!

Christmas Ornaments for a swap! These are little fabric ornaments with a ribbon hanger and leaf embellishment at the bottom! They are light and should hang on a tree nicely! :)

These are ATCs for a swap! Images from paperwhimsey.com .

This was an artist choice, so I just used one of my favorite colors and made them according to what felt fun to me! Some zig zag stitching edges them and the quote is about friends! :0)

1. My favorite season is FALL and I enjoy seeing the change of colors, the temperature and carving pumpkins, caramel apples and ALL the parts that make fall spectacular!
2. I am most appreciative of my artful friends who understand and join me in my art adventure......understanding the obsession and FUN of it all! :) YOU are all great!

Muaaaahaha! Time for a Halloween ATC Swap! Debbie and I found some great dimensional witches hats stickers and these cool spider stickers too.....which helped me to get my Halloween ATCs rolling! I got these finished tonight, because I just could not stop! Now my eyes are tired, time for a rest! :0) Weekends are such fun, becaus there is time for arting!!!!!!! YES!

Debbie and I had quite the day! :0) We arted like wild women and got lots of Christmas Tree ornament pillows partially done! Debbie took these to add RIBBONS and some special embellishment touches and they will be gifties for family and friends and a fun ornament for the tree! Neat right? Poor Debbie, she said I was a pretty bad slave driver! Hehehe, they tell me the same thing at work! But this was supposed to be a play day! We had a ball really and were covered in threads and the floor was too! Such fun!!!!!! Here is what we got done enough for her to take home, there is another small batch here too to be finished up! We shopped and went to a rummage sale too!Oooooooh the fun! Thanks Debbie!!! <3

Debbie took me to Hannah's today!http://www.hannahs.com/about/default.htm
They have classes and neat stuff everywhere! I loved it, it is in Illinois. What a fabulous store! Wheeeeeeee! Debbie got me this cool mini-mask! Opposite a stencil is the easiest way to describe it! You are shading everything but the mask! Anyways, Debbie and I said we'd trade atcs using it! This is the atc I made tonight! I wanted to try it just on white to start! I think it will be pretty on different things as well! You can use paint, ink , etc. on it! It is removable and reusable! It was a fun day, as it always is with Debbie! <3

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all of you who have participated in ATC swaps over the years, that I have been fortunate enough to receive yours in personal or group swap! I had these stored in a binder and changed my mind as I wanted to SEE them and be inspired with these mini-art pieces daily! Soooooooooo.......I bought a room divider...
and glued them on! Aren't they gorgeous?? I know that you might have one( or more :) on here and I thank you for sharing your art with me! I will put this in my art room once I clean it up!!!!!!! Phew, that will be a job! But this will make walking in there a joy!
