~~~~~An update and a halloween give away~~~~~

I have two 5X7 Halloween cards for my give away.
Just leave a comment about your bestest Halloween costume.
On Monday I'll draw two names :  )
Good Luck
 
Here is the painting behind the garage .. I felt like I needed to look at it from a distance.
I laid some elephants on top to see how I liked them.
On top of  all life's crazy things, we are having a party on Saturday.
The invites went out to 4 of our neighbors and a few of Hannah's school friends with their families and
Nathan & Maria, so they can see their painting.

I saw on my friend Priti Lisa's blog this ad type thing for art journaling called The Sketchbook Project
So I decided I didn't have enough going on in my life to add another thing!
It arrived today all 8x5 of it with its blue cover.
I used a letter opener to free the journal.
I looked at it felt it I probably even smelled it :  )
Then I gathered a few spray paint cans and took it out to the yard.
The small book has been here a few hours and already it feels at home with me.
The theme they gave me was Help! Not sure where I'll go with this wee book.
I just know it needs to be handed in by Jan 15 2011
so that it can travel to museums and art libraries. Places where people will look at it hold it and hopefully get something from it.

I continue to have camera troubles...so much so it makes me want to cry.

On the menu for Saturday evening
Mikes Beef  Bourguignon & Chicken Pot Pies
My man Mike is so the best :  )
He feeds us so much good loven food!
and if you've ever eaten here...you know what I'm saying!
I hope for no rain so that we can do smores over the fire.

Love to you all
Lisa D.

Hi Lisa :)
I hope you post pic of your SBP.
I didn't know you were doing it.

I used to dress up when I worked as a bartender...when I was pregnant I dressed as a nun.
2 years ago, I was an Amish man...

Who doesn't love a giveaway, please toss my hat in the ring. My fave costume I wore was a french maid (I was 21 at the time.) That probably helped.

Happy Halloween and October to you my former sweet and sinister partner!

Dawn : ) I'll toss your hat in the ring for sure!

It's been a while since I was at a costume party. The last was themed - musketeers and wenches! I was especially proud of my husband's costume that I made for him. I discovered and fell in love with my glue gun! Not sure there was any sewing in the whole elaborate outfit!

Looking forward to seeing your SBP and what you do with Help! (I'm hearing the Beatles in my mind....)

Love these paintings. They turned out beautiful!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog Lisa, I was off having a splendid adventure. :)

most of my costumes were pretty thrown together and lame. I did dress up as a die (one dice) one year. It was hard walking around in this big box - I had painted white and put the black dots on. I I had black tights and a black and white striped shirt on. :)
