thank you. truly.
I am over the moon with the response to my shop! You have all been so sweet and encouraging. Thank you. And double thank you to those of you who purchased something. You sure know how to make a girl feel good. Your packages will ship today- Enjoy!
If there's anything left that you're interested in, you better go snatch it up. I'm planning on pulling the remaining items off this Friday. Everything has been spoken for by family, that is, IF it doesn't sell online. Of course I'd rather it all sells, so go for it! : )
I'm scheduling the next update for Wednesday, November 7th. I want to have some more paintings and other ready-to-ship items to offer, but I'm also going to include the custom baby dolls for "pre-order". I'll explain when the time comes.
These photographs are from a pumpkin carving party we attended Saturday night. I didn't carve one- we just helped J carve his. But after seeing how serious everyone was, I'm already scheming for next year. (Have I ever mentioned that Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday? Well, it is.)
Have a great (spooky) week!

I'm glad the shop opening went well!
We'll be carving this weekend -- but nothing this fancy. :)

Congratulations on the shop opening. I stumbled across your blog a while ago, and it is one of my daily reads. I would love to eventually transition from a "traditional" job more creative career. Your blog and Web site keep me optimistic. Thanks.

You know it's mine, too! Although, we are so behind on decorating this year!!!
I think the whole "are-we-moving-or-aren't-we" thing is making me drag my feet.

Fab photos - especially the skull.
My local supermarkets' pumpkins are 'out of stock' can you believe!
Well done with the shop....x

Oh those teeth on that pumpkin! My son wandered by--somewhat bleery eyed-and spotted those teeth and now is saying he wants his pumpkin to have teeth just like that.
I can't possible carve a mouthful of teeth like that! I'll chink out every other one completely by accident.....but...
at least I have a model of perfect teeth to study and attempt to duplicate! Thanks!
