Halloween Eve

Friday, October 30, 2009

Excited about tomorrow and
feeling a lot better than I was last week...



Actually yesterday was the first day feeling like myself again and today I brought out some of the projects I’d been working on earlier this month. Below are some papier-mâché cats I made to decorate the fireplace. I'd seen something similar about a year ago at the Disney music center gift shop, but they were too expensive to buy:



Also, one of my most loved Dusty Springfield songs... Spooky:



Lastly, Día de los Muertos charm necklace I’ve tried to make for about a year that I finally finished... and painted nails to commemorate the holiday also!



Hope you’ve had a wonderful week!
I’m off to catch up on my favorite reads…

Gabbi, I'd love to meet you, you who write this blog. It all appears very pretty. You obviously adhere to Lenores mantra - think good thoughts. Good for you.

And I've been meaning to ask you: have you received the print from Shira that you won?

Someone today mentioned joining in (blogging). I said I never feel I need a blog or to 'join in' as I've been in for ages, highs and lows, but if you do it voluntarily it's probably more fun.

Rebecca said...

You made those cats? I love them! I can't even remember the last time I did anything with papier mache!

And your necklace is awesome as well! Way to go, Gabbi! :)

Nikki said...

The grinning cats are great.
