HAPPY HALLOWEEN.........

Well each year my display seems to grow...yesterday in the mail I got my CAST bones from human bones...how morbid is that..I bought them from eBay from a university medical student who uses the casts they make to study... So now my graveyards have some pretend rib bones and some jaw bones and even a pelvic bone...LOL...I know gross. Anyway here are some of the pictures of my yard and tomorrow I will post some of the motion activated ones in video format.




Hope you all have a great day and I have to go and carve pumpkins now, even though my hands are sore from yesterday stuffing 200 goodie bags for the kids that do dare to come up my drive...last year a few times I had to walk down to the sidewalk because the little ones were too freaked out.



Enjoy.

2 Weeks today

wow this chantix really does help a lot...but some days are definitely worse than others, today would be an 'others' day...no motivation, just want to sit on my hands and do nothing except concentrate on not going outside for a smoke. Today would be the kind of day where I say..oh well I did it for 2 weeks I can have just one...SIGH...if only it worked like that.

Anyway finally got my etsy mini added back on my blog and a new Pledge to buy handmade this year. Also my ETSY GLASS ARTIST street team has a great new page for Christmas Gift Giving....you can just click on the link.

I bought some advertising on a great site called WICKEDLYCHIC...how cool a name is that...great articles and items from artists around the world...check out my ad...I am so proud.. :)

So have a great day and a fun weekend....thanks again to my mom for listening to me bitch about my life for 2 hours again on the phone...what would we do without our moms...:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM...have a good time at the KEG tonight.

Thats all for now,

Yahhhhh Day 3 of No smoking has passed!!

So the EGA sale was a success...thanks to all of you who stopped by...but my big news is I am heading into day 4 of NO SMOKING...figured since my hubby did so well and is now going on 3 months I should give it a try.

I am using CHANTIX...it helps stop the part of your brain that craves the nicotine, it definitely takes the edge off big time but I still find myself REALLY wanting one...my friend Laura told me to start pigging out on microwave popcorn.

Anyway wish me luck

And here is a super cute pic of the 'roxy' cat...you can do just about anything to this cat and she just lays there...since I am not smoking I am pretty ansy so am back to making scarves...this is some leftover wool my hubby put all over her...LOL...too cute.

Thats all for now.

Thanks ART SCENE BEADS.

(PS mine are the pumpkin earrings).

I have been busy stocking up on some new Halloween decorations..I just love Halloween...I go nuts with my decorations and costume...it is just too fun to watch the kids creeping up to the house, not knowing what is going to jump out at them next.

So I bought this crawling ZOMBIE this year from ebay...you can see the YOUTUBE vid of it.

Too cool...also got a severed head, cast skeleton bones and a new skeleton in a coffin...I will post pics when it is all finished.

Almost hit 2000 sales on MY ETSY....3 more to go...I am so excited..I had hoped to get there by Sept end...but thats okay...now would still be good.

Have a great day all.
