i think my brother almost shit himself when i can floating down the stairs looking so absolutely fabulous!! he was concerned that that was indeed my forehead ... nooooo it's not.. it's wig.. glasses are attached too .. oooh i love this wig.. i found it when i was out with my sister on thursday... we couldn't stop laughing ... we had to have it! i added the wings .. the daisy barrette & decided this is what my guardian angel looks like so i was her ...my angel for halloween :)

colman was a cannon..
my dad's costume.. he was a human cannonball one year

mel was their black cat jade....

she wasn't going to dress up
i did mention that if she wasn't in costume i have plenty & i will dress her
when she got to my house...
she showed up in costume
:)
then we had a beautiful princess & a kitten

my brother didn't dress up
but he played scared good ...

*** everyone is motivated by something ***

isn't that the truth?

maybe the skinny side of the closet... the desire to toss your spanxs... a bathing suit.. age ... opposite sex ..
or
maybe same sex, you float your own boat :)
most important health & it's good for you!

me many many things motivate me but as my treadmill reminds me daily ...

it should say totally in love with!!

*** special cake decorations ***

it was my brothers birthday

hooray !!
so his darling girls came over for a sleep over last night...
we made a cake
my all time favorite
angel food with a fresh orange icing so thick it
could be confused for frosting!
my grandma made this cake
she made pies & cookies & you name it she made it
yes even watermelon pickles!
when she passed away i was the one who asked & received her
magic rolling pin
&
square angle food pan....
ooooooooooo
totally fabulous i know..
& so
i baked the square cake & prepared the frosting ..
the girls arrived & they frosted & decorated ..

every sprinkle & cake decoration i had in my
baking box went on to this cake!!
i'm sure it tastes
extra
FABULOUS!!!

hope you are having a good weekend..
i am waiting for a large box of canvases to arrive..
i'm all out of canvases!!
while i wait i am
trying to finish painting my living room ..
i am determined to lighten up the colors in this house..
i love love
color but the long gloomy winters here as just a drag..
so i am going to get this done!!
the room has dark wood crown moldings & heavy dark beamed ceiling..
ugly stained creamy & dark green wallpaper..
remember this is a 1903 home
removed paper..
painted walls
a cool blue..
the pain is painting the dark trim ..
the windows especially are a major
drag..
i am going white trim .. yes white..
3 dogs a cat a son & a messy
husband & white trim..
wish me luck!

enjoy enjoy!!

*** my pumpkin ***

ok people .. i know you all have been waiting to see my pumpkin..

the biggest

pumpkin ever!!
well you may recall i was unsure as to what the hell i was growing
was it a pumpkin??
a
cucumber??
maybe a watermelon
all wrong
the only thing right about my guess was it
is the largest
EVER!!

yep the biggest piece of candy corn in the world!!!

amazing huh?
totally worth the wait ..
yum
enough to share !!

it has been cold.. i couldn't sleep last night.. i put the dogs out & there was frost
on the grass !!
almost all the leaves have fallen from the trees.. my favorite tree the
big sugar maple is almost naked!

i had 2 visits with 2 of my favorite little fairies
audrey & ella..
always ready to play with clay ..we made magic wands ..
i wish i had photo.. i forgot & well...
colman & i made clay eyeballs for our halloween wreath..

we will make a sign..maybe it will say

:)
it was a blast...

did i tell you i went to see kathy griffin last week???

* red leaves candy corn & pumpkin cookies *

ok so the world is going to hell in a handbasket eh??

i can hardly stand it .. i would love to turn off the tv &
just ignore it all but so much of it effects me.. my husband is laid-off &
we own a second home..
not by choice...
so i have been trying to keep all my energy positive ..
which is difficult.. but actually not as difficult as
i expected ...

i visited my dad yesterday with colman ..
sprinkled red leaves from my tree around his headstone..
ate pumpkin cookies & candy corn..
made wishes ..
hope they all come true......


a few paintings up for grabs...
