 Here is my first attempt ever at using an airbrush to decorate cookies. They are Halloween cookies......so I think they are just fine. I cannot wait to continue to get better and grow with using the airbrush. Sooooo far, I love it.
 Earl cut the spider from cardstock and I did the clouds and spooky grass. The other stencil was something I had from Tim Holtz done with orange.

 Happy Halloween!!!! We had the neatest experience today! We saw a house while running errands, that had some zombies in front. We stopped...........hehehe, I could not resist to run up and take some pictures. They were truly creepy and AWESOME!!!! After getting back into our car, the young man that owned the home came out and asked us "would you like to come in and see the rest?" He said they were having a party in 3 hours and wife has been working like nuts on the inside. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh YES I WOULD LIKE TO COME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-----------------------
 Every room was completely done up........with FULL sized items! Top of the ceiling to the floor.......blood , gore and more............
 Awesome zombies right?

 The living room was a full out funeral home and there are seats facing the coffin as well!
 They had a scary clown room with a ping pong table. All full size clowns and scary!!!!


 The bathroom was taken over by SPIDERS.........everywhere, and big egg filled nests hanging.........

 The kitchen was the butchers room.......blood splattered and body parts on shelves...........eeeeeeeeew

 Intestines on the bottom shelf...........the butcher was actually packaging parts. Haaaaaheheh gross.
 Cockroaches were crawling everywhere, she has them attached to the walls with tiny pins.
 The basement was a nightmare of caged skeletons.........a jail cell for Picture opportunities for guests.
It was very medieval looking.

 Jason was in his cottage, with a shingled roof above the window and all........the guys helped her build everything.
 There was a cemetery with gravestones........
 a creepy nook with children's dolls that were really creepy......see front right corner of the picture.......
The bath tub, made me get goose bumps. Just a hoot!!!!!!!! How kind of them to invite us in. I could not believe everything. It was magnificent! I told them they should have contacted a news station. This is BEYOND fun..........I am sure their party will be a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the end, after the excitement and telling them how spooktacular this was, I never even got their names!!!!!! Great job though, no denying that! Booooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is another pumpkin I carved today! I made this stencil myself and carved most from the flesh.....not all the way through. It needs a bright light inside to show it's detail. I love the look though! :) Hope you enjoy it too.

Repurposed Garden Chair

 Earl and I stopped at a rummage yesterday and I picked up this old chair. It was a wood brown and looked not so nice. :) It screamed reuse me............so I painted it yesterday immediately when I got home. I used a stencil to add some interest and color. FUN!

 The circle in the seat cut out allows for a plant to go inside there. I have a bucket in the hole and then a planter. I find it completely fun and repurposing the chair and making it brighter was just what it needed.

 Here it is sitting in the garden spot next to an hibiscus and rose bush.

Happy gardening and repurposing. I think the chair needs a little fairy! I will keep my eye out for something on sale at the end of the season! :)
