HDH087 Freaker's Free for All!!

This week's challenge at HDH is one of my favorites,

Freaker's Free for all!

What this means is, whatever bizarre, unsavory, unnerving,

bit of strangeness you can muster, just might win you a title!

If you have a project that doesn't really fit any other challenge blog

criteria, we want you!!

That being said, I have a couple of (finally) finished

projects to share with you.

I have added more gourds to my garden.

I love the "Fairy Tale" punkins and always

make a mummy or Jack Skellington every year

out of their sickly white flesh.

More happy Jacks awaiting a new home.

New listings are going up today/tomorrow on Etsy. 

The sTeaMpUnKinS are all fired up and ready to

start chugging along towards Autumn.

And finally, my lovely cherubs.

I am so stoked with how these turned out! I know they are

a bit offensive when my husband (is that thumping I hear?)

is not a fan! Yeah! Mission accomplished!!

Aww! Isn't he just an angel?

So, I'm thinking lapel pins for the smaller ones and this

big guy gets a couple of magnets so he can oversee

the happenings in the kitchen.

Bring out yer dead, your decomposed, your unmentionables!

Just play along with us this week at Haunted Design House!!  

 

40 is a bitch!

Especially if you already are one.

I would know. I am both.

And now so is my dear friend Barb,

from the Haunted Design House!

Happy Birthday Barb!!!!!!

I have made you a little sumptin' sumptin'...

All of these delicious little gourds are on their way to you as

I type this. Thanks to a questionaire we replied to recently,

I was able to come up with a gift for Barb that incorporates two

of her favorite things, pumpkins and Steampunk. 

   

I give you my latest creation,

the "Steampunkins".

Kinda brilliant huh?

I have to thank Barb for the inspiration on these though.

So, enough about me, I'd like to say that Barb Foster

is an amazing artist, crafter, collector, and friend. I have plenty of

friends in real life, but feel as though I have really found a true

friend and sister in sickness(ie, Halloween, True Blood, wit, humour, etc.)

with Barb.

It's been almost a year that I have been a part of

the Haunted Design House DT, and even longer since I have

been inspired and coaxed out of my creative box by Barb and her

awesome Macabre Monday challenges. Fellow SBS DT member,

Jennifer is the one who sent me the link to Barb's blog, thinking

it was right up my alley. Man, was she ever spot on! Thanks Jennifer!

Here is the post with Jennifer's link and comment from Sept. '09.   

I think this post really endeared me to Barb though.

It's one of my favorite cards I ever made for MM.

Didn't I say enough about me?

Happy Birthday Barb!!!!!!

Big hug from the Glowbugg.
