BOO!......again....are you feeling deja vu? LOL.....I wanted to share with you the rest of my wonderful little Spooky Town. As sick as it sounds, my favorite part is the cemetery. I have my Forsaken Souls Prison inside the cemetery in which after the inmate is hung, they are carted out by Death himself for a nice spot among the others....




My queen room takes an awesome transformation during this time of year. I hope you've enjoyed the pictures. I love have people over to look at my little town.
And now for the surprise.....
And now for the surprise.....
Introducing...........My Trick ORTreat Box.....all finished by...........ready...........ME!!!!!!!!!!!! (and the crowd goes wild ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Just Nan's Trick ORTreat Box
A Silver Needle Exclusive that came out eons ago but yet I was too scared to death to get it done.





OK, now don't laugh....I wanted to pose the box outside for good lighting on Monday in the park that is behind my place of employment. Well, I forgot. As I pulled into the Dojang (TKD) I looked over and there is sat in my white little plastic bag. First thought? Oh crap. Second thought? Hey box, strike a pose on top of this white plastic bag ''background'' and just do what you do: look good.
I DID contact the finisher, Pam Hoops (Nan's personal finisher) and she doesn't do finishing work anymore (sniff....big panic attack when I hear that) but let me tell you WHAT a sweetheart she is. She talked to me for over 1/2 hour and was really supportive about this box. She told me that if I had any questions while I was doing the finishing, to just pick up the phone and call her. I can't wait to send her pics to show her what her support has done. Now if only the sewing machine would stop making me cry and run in fear I'll be all set.
So there. Fancy picture taking at it's best. I finished myself this past weekend and OMG I couldn't believe how EASY it was. I took my time and that was the key. I also had my DH help me out (just a little, he doesn't want to be accused of being a stitcher or anything 'girly' like that) by doing the great measuring for me. Yeah for me! Now, I have Halloween box envy, I can't stop looking at it! Honestly, I wasn't happy with the way the front seam turned out but I ridged it just fine. Enjoy it!
One more note. I did my 'practice' board break yesterday. It's called a Speed break. You hold the board in one hand and break it with the other. This is an inch thick board. Well, after one nasty bruise later, I DID break it. Now if I can just repeat that on the 25th. Keep your fingers, toes, and other body parts crossed. Chow for now.....
