Something about Mary...
I am so thankful for flickr and the blog world especially since I have discovered so many nice people out there. Mary is one of those special ladies. She is very thoughtful and I consider her a friend even though we live states apart. I think we connected when we found out we had the same birthday!! Then we discovered we had some other things in common...weight, height, and looking young for our age(yes I am one year older than her). She spoils me with surprises in the snail mail. I get all giddy and smiley:D The other day I received one of those surprise packages and it had 2 unfinished cardboard houses in it. One is this cottage and the other is a church I will glitter up for Christmas. So this is for Mary...yes, I am sending it back to her and not because I dont like it . Seems odd, but now it is all glittery and pretty for her autumn decorations. I know how much her children really like her to decorate for the holidays. That is how friendship works(~~) No sneak peeks here! It will be on its way to Mary's house tomorrow. Thanks Mary!!! check out her flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/snowflakesoneyelashes/

Halloween Purpley Sugar Cottage

One more of my cottages this time in sugary purple. A ghostly roof, a trio of pumpkins, and a glitttery black cat are just some of the extras. I especially like the purple fence.

Look at the cute, I mean spooky ghosts on the roof top. At least they are happy:)

Have a spooktacular day!

New Projects finished

Creepy Halloween..well not so creepy. In my mind I was making a scary Halloween house, but it always turns to cuteness. I guess scary is not my style. The skull is
even smiling;) Maybe if it's added to a Halloween village with those wicked looking trees and some spider webs it will appear gloomier? Trick or Treat.











Recycled chipboard covered in glittered vintage sheet music. Eyelash yarn sandwiched between the 2 layers of chipboard. Black ribbon for hanging. I positioned the words of the song right in the middle of the dove. Looks equally beautiful on both sides:)














I really like the way the church turned out. It is also covered in vintage sheet music and glittered. The "stained glass" windows are a flowered scrapbook paper. The vintage pom pom trim is from my stash that I have been hoarding for myself..hehe. The trim is sandwiched between the 2 layers of recycled chipboard (my favorite supply right now).

Next time I will make the church door "stained glass" too.

I really think sheet music is appropriate for the dove and church.
