Look what I made!

I love Halloween in every way imaginable. It is so fun to decorate for, and costumes are probably one of my favorite inventions of all time. I love to get dressed up. I just wish the Mr. got into it as much as I do. Oh well, he allows me to move forward with my plans (unless they involve tights) so I guess I can't ask for much else.

Anyways, I made up these cute window decorations out of spray-painted tin cans and other recycled kitchen containers of all shapes and sizes. We drilled holes and used a metal cutter in the wood shop to get these to work. Then I brought them to life with little tea candles. They span my whole window sill under the cob webs I hung up. Next project...Spiders! Let me know what you think.

Also this is a double dose of "Look what I made". I have a wonderful friend who got married this weekend and let me make a small wedding cake as a gift for the occasion.  I thought it turned out very nice, especially since Rob held it in his lap for the 2 1/2 hour drive and we almost had an accident 20 minutes before the drop off point. Yay hubby! I just love the sugar sprinkles on the top. Glitter always gives things a little bit of a boost.

Friday Morning Motivation!

...Well any morning deserves motivation. The word morning just implies that you'll need a bit of a pick me up. Watch this video and remember that today is a new day and you CAN do it!

Message in a Bottle


Today I read an article about a kid who had thrown a message in a bottle into the ocean, off the Atlantic Coast in Florida.  It was found 16 months later by another kid on the coast of Ireland.  The article relates three other delightfully, magical accounts of true-story-message-in-a-bottle-encounters.  Isn't that just dreamy?  I want to try this. Maybe I will start small and send a message into Utah lake this weekend. And the next time I'm out in the deep blue sea I'll try my luck at the real deal. Who knows what kind of wonderful/fateful encounter I could have?!

What should my message say?
