I love the bubbles up my nose!

It is always October at Haunted Design House. This week their challenge was to make some with an Eerie Inspiration. When I think of eerie I think of something just a little off. Just off enough to give you a double take and maybe raise a few hairs.

Here is my take on the challenge.

See what I mean? lol

Macabre Monday

Haunted Design House hosts a Macabre Monday challenge. This week it is Purple Haze. I entered twice this week.
The first being a funny layout with a pic of me in my purple fairy outfit. I used four different papers, stitching, staples, metal embellishment and a news print flourish. This picture was taken on a day of fairy fun in the park.


The second a card with a creepy bride doll.
Three papers were used and I changed the color of each of them to have them better fit the theme. I also changed the color of every flower that I used because all of my flowers were white. The creepy doll photo was found online. I added the watch showing the start of the witching hour.
I hope you enjoy.

Bad Fairy Ball

So what do you do on the night of a wolf moon and blue moon? Go to a bad fairy ball ... what else?



I went into town and picked up Sara and Mingy then headed over to the fairgrounds for a free Fairieworlds vendor fair. There was music, workshops, a free kids corner, food and lots of fun stuff to buy. After wishing a had a thousand dollars to spend we left empty handed, but with tons of ideas and lots of smiles.

(I made fairy houses when I was a kid. Maybe I should take it up again ... this one is $235.00)

(Some of the lovely costumes)

We went home, had quick naps and then got dressed for the ball. I went in a steampunk outfit and helped dress Mingy and my son Jake. A little makeup and off we went.



We arrived at the McDonald Theater about an hour before the music started so we had time to check out everything, meet a few people and take a couple of pics.

(The monkey moved his head and arm being controlled by his masters fingers)

(this teen was having fun in his bad fairy outfit.)

( you can see that there were loads of people and lots of different costumes)

The bands were great. I couldn't dance too much because my foot is still healing but I had a blast anyway. There were all ages from 4 to 80 and everyone had fun together. Looking forward to this July for their summer festival.

New Year

Well I'm hoping to post more than once a year. lol Sooo lets get started!

Fun at Work...
In Sept we got 2 student teachers from China to join us for 5 months. It has been so much fun getting to know these girls. Now on the eve of them leaving us to return to China I have decided to continue last years resolution with a little twist. Last year I explored and tried a new local restaurant every month. This year I shall seek out and find at least 12 new Chinese restaurants in hopes of sparking memories of my new friends and my taste buds. Stay tuned for reviews.

The Many Faces of Me

Wow a blog, is this the next step into the electronic age? A place to share my thoughts, goals, and screw-ups? lol

I can't wait to get started!
