Full Moon Dream Board

I've wanted to make one of these for a very long time.  I've wanted it to be a monthly habit.  I've collected lots of magazines to make them.  But I've only made a few over the years.  I finally just sat down & did it.  I hope to repeat the process!  It was fun... ^-^

This one was for The Full Frost Moon, which according to Jamie Ridler asks, "What is clear about your dreams? What further clarity do you seek?”

I had a lot of words on it, which seems strange & unlike me, but it's how it worked out!  Perhaps I needed more concrete thoughts this time...

What Clarity Do You Wish For?

I wish for the clarity to see which path will bring me the most joy and happiness.  The clarity to find my way out of the mess I feel I've made and back into the joyous, prosperous life I envision.

Mosaic Monday Bunday

Welcome back to another Mosaic Monday Bunday!  This past weekend, we got our first snow-that-sticks of the winter.  Saturday we woke up to a light dusting that didn't quite melt by sunset, and as I create this, Sunday morning, the snow is falling in fat fluffy flakes blanketing everything.  So today's Mosaic Monday Bunday pays tribute to SNOW and the upcoming winter season...

Pinterest?

While scrolling pinterest the other day I saw a few versions of a disclaimer.  They weren't very pretty and didn't say exactly what I would; so I made myself a pretty one (you can see the original here) and decided that if anyone else wants to use it they should have one without my signature.  Therefore I made this version!  ^-^  Please feel free to pin this and share with others!

Wishcasting Wednesday

I've been avoiding answering Jamie's Wishcasting Wednesday questions for a while now; they've all been hitting too close to home and answering was too painful.  This week's is no exception...

What peace do you wish for?

The peace I wish for is the peace that comes from knowing your bills are all paid.  The peace to answer the phone without fear that it's a bill collector.  The peace in knowing the rent and electricity and all the other little bills are paid, and will be paid on time in the future.  The peace in knowing the available transportations is reliable, that work and income are steady.  That food can be purchased, and all the other little non-food things like toilet paper, soap, etc. that a family needs.  That no one can take any of those things away.  I feel like it's a peace I shouldn't even have to think about, but I've been living without it for far too long...

Zombie Madness

Halloween has passed, as has La Dia de los Muertos, but zombies and zombie movies are always in vogue nowadays, so I was not surprised by aquariann's choice for her autumn blog hop...


That's right!  A ZOMBIE blog hop!  I don't often choose the macabre as a subject matter, but every once in a while inspiration pulls me that way and I wind up with something like this...


Undead Mermaid ACEO
Or maybe it's a challenge that motivates me to reach outside my comfort zone, and come up with something like this...


Magical Menagerie Pendant - Zombie Bunny Rabbit
But whatever the reason, a muse, a challenge, or the season, zombie art is always fun to play around with... 

Don't forget to check out all the other Blog Hop posts for more Zombie goodness!

Halloween

Last night we took the kids out in the car to trick or treat over the many miles that comprise our neighborhood, they had fun dressing up and collecting candy, but we got no photos. >.<  D'oh!

However on Saturday we attended a super awesome costume party at Jacqueline's sister's in honor of her neice's birthday!  And we got pics!  ^o^

First, check out my nails... I created my own version of the galaxy manicure!  (yes, i do still have my shiny sparkly snowflakes up from last Christmas!  I love them! :P)


Base coat topped with China Glaze (CG) Smoke & Ashes, then sponge on Blue Iguana, Glittering Garland, Senorita Bonita, Some like it Haute (all CG), and Orly's Rococo-a-Go-Go. Dab on some CG Techno, and use a dotting tool to make a few white dots.  Then the fun part: top the white dots, and Some Like it Haute with glow-in-the-dark nail polish!  It doesn't distort the colors and makes your fingers glow!  ^o^  Quick dry top coat a must - 2-3 layers!


Of course these represent All of Space & Time to go with my Rose costume!  ^-^  (I tried a TARDIS, but failed; my brushes are too big!)


The next regeneration of the Doctor returns to find an older and heavier Rose Tyler... XD ...and her sonic screwdriver has been replaced with a NORMAL screwdriver! I bet the Silence did it... (Get it? The Silence, *sonic* screwdriver... HA!)

I digress.

Antonio went as a Demo Man from Team Fortress 2...


We were kinda bummed that he didn't go as Black Iron Man as he had originally planned; he had made the coolest arc reactor!  It actually lit up!  :D

And Lia and JoAnn were SOOOOOO cute!


They did Pinkie Pie & Rarity cosplays!  (You better go look at that awesome photo on black!)  Lia made her complete outfit, and JoAnn's ears... Are they not totally adorbz!?  ^o^

Anyhooo, there are a few more shots on my flickr, check them out if you want!
