FALL: ARE YOU READY?


So | are you ready?

there's woodsy owls and skeletons and scary cats'
oh my!

I just | love| to make collages, especially seasonal and vintage, of course?  I do not know why I like to create collages, perhaps they remind me of working on a jigsaw puzzle_ trying to make all the pieces fit, love them too.

The Munsters

Have I ever mentioned that I met Grandpa Munster, Al Lewis? He was quite cool! I was not a young girl, this thrill occurred about 12 years ago. Yes, I was that artist child who loved the Munsters!

Have you heard they might produce a remake?
TRICK OR TREAT!

BARN CHICK PARTY!!!

Take my hand, come with me to a world of pure imagination. Don't be scared- but beware- there are thrills and chills and lots of barn pics. (Above is a illustration that I drew and was published )

It all began, my love for barns, when I moved into the Brayton Homestead, circa 1796, shown here in an old photo I found on ebay. If you look closely you can see the barn that used to be in back of the house. Sadly, it was torn down along time ago. But I want to someday to put one back.
Barns can have a profound eeeeefect on people...

What else would have taken beautiful Julie Marie from Idyllhours,
this month's quest host of this
Barn Chick Party...

to Bootiful Julie Marie?
You must visit her wonderful blog...

As I walk up a hill with just a glimpse of an old barn

I must go closer and closer...

up really close this barns is just waiting to be rescued...

others barns are for rocking....

and some are for weddings.
You may remember that my twin brother was married
in a barn turned restaurant and few Octobers past.

what a grand and great wedding it was.

then last year my twin, Kevin's (right)
son Korey (on left)
actually married on Halloween!
my what fun and so beautiful...

could not resist to make a bridal card...

can you imagine that crusty BARN hardware like this

can be transformed into
gorgeous hardware for lovely barn doors inside?
This is our 3rd Barn Chick Party- it started here..

always keep in mind,
that some places
look haunted but may not be...
and others seem safe
but may not be!

but wherever you call home
A BARN CHICK PARTY
will never be far away
please come on back to my blog on November 10th for the next party.
and THANKS JULIE MARIE!

A Wedding...

My nephew Korey and Cheryl
were married on 10/31/09
so wonderful...
It was a perfectly magical wedding
for a perfectly lovely couple...
My sister & I had fun making masks
for the guests to wear when the couple were
announced
and entered the room..
My Wedding card I made for them, hehe...
~~~
Everyone had the greatest time
as reflected by the very beautiful bride...
Was so glad my beautiful Mom, Olive, now 87
was able to attend,
here with my handsome Son...
Here I am with the couple
wearing their masks...
The decorations were elegant~ the food superb

everything was perfect~ especially the LOVE

certainly the best wedding ever!
