New Colors... 09/14/2010
 
I went out this morning and bought some new markers...Which, to me, is almost as exciting as buying new shoes!...I waited these babies out forEVVVVERRR!!!...They went on sale for half price (then I tried to use a half price coupon on top of that--- but the sales lady was not buying it;)...24 new PRISMACOLOR markers...Makes me feel fresh and wanting to add some new art to the ETSY shop;):)...

Took the kids after school to check out the new Halloween decorations at Target...That was not a good shopping trip for the bank account-- but I DO LOVE HALLOWEEN...plus, I had these two chirpping birds in my ear convincing me we needed these things!... Check out the *PINK* glitter skull we picked out:)...Thats' a shot of color...and probably not quite appropriate for my mostly country decor...but, who can resist a pink glitter skull???...Not me:).

Also picked up some totally sweet wall decals and now i have bats, pumpkins, and spiders all over our living room:)...I just know I'm going to forget about those spiders and freak out tomorrow morning when I turn on the lights:)...They are super creepy!!...

While browsing around the fall decorations at the mall last week, Niamh and Philly found these jewel colored potion bottles...and simply had to bring them home and have a swig:)...I absolutely love holiday traditions-- and saw some potential here.  Now they have a sip every night, right before bed...(Just water inside:)...And it magically turns them into a monster of their choice while they sleep...AAAHHHH!!!-- I love their ages!!  They will believe anything 100%, and it makes for some great fun!...Philly will be a skeleton tonight and Niamh is turning into "the prettiest ghost in the world", as she put it.  The only problem is that Philly calls the drink his "poison"...That makes for some interesting looks when he decides to beg me for it while we stand in line at the grocery checkout:)..."Mom, can I PA-lease have my poison when we get home?"...Oh well, it's worth it:)...

Hi Krista,
Great that I can sign in with Google!
Now you know what I feel like at the
Haberdashery store. Fabric, colours,
patterns, bibs and bobs all call out
my name;) I go to the art store for
fabric paints and I leave knowing how
those starving artists feel.
The Crabs sound good. Love to try some
USA Style sometime. Fun to hear all
your holloween prep and decorating.
Australia doesn't celebrate it :(
