Santa Goes Trick~or~Treating!

I FINALLY finished up my latest project!This will be my last Halloween piece for 2008.It is SO unbelievable,how fast time flies!Now,it's onto Christmas dollies!I've had this idea in my head,for a while now,and it almost didn't get done!But I really wanted to see it come to life,so I pushed myself,and work,work,worked,ever~so` hard,and got it done!I'm so glad that I did!It's my little daydream,of"Wouldn't Santa like to take a little break,every now and then,and go Trick~or~Treating?"Not a long trip,just a quick little getaway,to rack up on some candy for he and Mrs.Claus-then it's right back,to making sure we all get our goodies on Christmas morning!The auction has begun on eBay.Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey,Frankie.....

Your bride is ready to walk down that aisle!;)







I had SO much fun this past week,creating this dollie!She is full of little added details,her hand~made Pearl Bat necklace,her little spider friend~so many fun things!She goes up for auction,this evening at 8pm on eBay,I hope you will visit her auction!

Also,this past week has been SO much fun in TDIPT land!We had our Fall group swap~it was my first,with them~it has been hilarious!Everybody going stir crazy,waiting on their packages!

...but the VERY BEST,most treasured thing that she sent,was a GORGEOUS hand~stitched witch that she made for me,in a wonderful,distressed black frame!!!I am so lucky to receive one of her coveted stitcheries!!!THANK YOU LYNN!!!
