Almost a winner...

Here's the new face...

Somebody is about to win!!! Somebody has guessed the right item, but has not guessed the details!! I'm amazed at the guessing! Great job!


Anyway...here's the original face that was mocking me. Here's the new eye and eye make up. See the gold glimmer? Love that!


Here's a close up of the fingernails...finished and on their way.
Here's a very close up of some of the material that I also used. Isn't it gorgeous? Micro beads all over it!


And the finished face with hair! Any new guesses with some detail on how it will be used? I hope to have some final pictures tomorrow, but that might be pushing it. Thanks to everybody that has been playing along!

And what do you think this funky thing is???

Another clue...


This is the original eye...but I ended up not being able to use. You can see some of the hairline cracks in this one. It was such a pain! The "new eye" looks quite different...perhaps I'll post the new eye tomorrow. Better to see you with! Here's a clue...it will be used in a Christmas display.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Weird, huh? And kind of creepy. More clues...not a turkey, but Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

It's not Angelina either...

Norma had us all cracking up with her Angelina Jolie comment. That's just too funny. It does appear to be a "she" though, don't you think so? This makeup ended up not being the end product though...my creation was giving me absolute fits with some cracking in the clay. I told my sister that it was mocking me! I ended up trying superglue, sandpaper, more clay, more sandpaper, more glue, and paint. Ugh! I'm so glad it's done.

It's not a turkey...


Nope...not a turkey. Great guesses so far...I'm really enjoying them. It doesn't matter which one you post on...I'm keeping a watchful eye on the guesses. The first one to give me a detailed guess that is "spot on" (love that term), that will be the winner.

Amazing blog candy link!

Debbie from the UK is giving away some copics and some sugar nellies! Her blog is Passion for Crafts, go check it out!

Another clue...




I've had a few guesses so far...keep at it! It's NOT a mask nor is it a jewelry holder. I'd love to have lots of guesses...and as time gets closer to the real reveal, I'll post better clues Ü This "thing" did give me fits with some of the sculpey cracking. I've dealt with super glue, sandpaper, more glue, paint, gesso, etc.... I told my sister that this creation was mocking me.




And here are two cards I created from some blog candy I received. Beautiful paper!

Another gorgeous poinsettia...

I just love the poinsettia image. This one is darker than my other "gorgeous poinsettia card" post and I think I like them both equally. This one uses fancier paper. The sentiment is a $1 clear stamp. I used bling in the center of the flower and below the sentiment. The bling on the background is the way the paper came. Gorgeous, I know! Can you see the gold shimmer? I made my own glimmer mist with some gold powder (that I inherited and had no idea what to do with) and some water...in an old nasal spray bottle. (I did wash it really well) Ü


Another clue?


Crazy...I know...but this is actually a part of my creation that I'm working on...included with this post. The first person that guesses my actual end product will win blog candy.

I have a guessing game for you...



Ugly, right? Can you guess, in detail, what it is going to be? It's not card related or scrapping related, but it is crafting. My sister has asked me to create something and I think it would be fun for you guys to guess. I'll post new pictures periodically to help and the first person to guess the end product will win some blog candy from me. Those of you who actually know what this is are not permitted to guess! I look forward to seeing some guesses. Hopefully I'll be patient enough to add pictures slowly and not give it away too quickly.

Peter Pan and Tink


Throwing together costumes Halloween morning is perfectly fine, right?!?! We always do a theme for the kids...it won't be long until we're down to only one that goes trick or treating! We take the kids to five different houses of very good friends...visit for a bit and end up at Grammy and Papa's house for more visiting. A very fun evening.
