Halloween Web Design


To some, I am a collector of curious things. 
Over time, I have become accustomed to 
the raised eyebrow and sideways glance 
reactions that my unusual objects elicit. 
The beauty of my web design collection 
may not be apparent to the masses but
I am one who finds comfort living just a 
little off center.


"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."

Artist Workshop


The numbness in my fingertips has finally subsided
but the memories of this fun-filled "Artist Workshop" 
weekend will undoubtedly last a lifetime. 

Don't let these smiling faces fool you. These dolls
were no walk in the park ...but what fun we had for 
two glorious days of what I fondly refer to as 
"Dollie Boot Camp." With Colleen as our guide 
we cut, and glued, sculpted and painted. We stitched 
and ironed, adorned and assembled. We took notes 
at lectures, revealed tricks of the trade and shared 
stories of our artful journeys.  

Colleen will be teaching only two more classes 
this year. Treat yourself if you have the opportunity.
You will come away with a treasured doll, a new
set of skills and an ever-growing circle of friends. 

The Raven


2012 seems so far away but I'm marking 
my calendar for this one. Not for the faint
of heart...

Fun Halloween find. 
Picked up this tin of breath mints at my local
Cost Plus World Market.
 Wishing now I grabbed a few extra.
