Invasion of the Spiders

I LOVE Halloween!!

These spiders are for a swap that Alana George is hosting. 

She hosted an Easter ornament swap and it was so much fun we all wanted to do a Halloween one too!

Now I need to start looking for a tree to put my ornaments on.

What's your color???

Ok so I’m trying to pick a color for my bedroom walls.

This is what my wall looks like right now.  And I still don't see THE color on the wall that I have in my head.

Aqua Walls With Wainscoting

I'm thinking robin’s egg blue ….or that 50’s aqua blue that's so popular now.  My room doesn't get a lot of light and everything seems to be a different color on the wall than on that little square in the store.  Everything I pick is too bright or too blue. 

HELP!!!!!!!

………..anyone out there in blogland have a color that they love and could recommend???

Inspired….

I had this idea in my head.  I bought a canvas……and I have never really made anything on a canvas before.  Ok maybe when I was 14 I had oil painting lessons long enough to paint 2 small pictures….strawberries and flowers.  But I don't really count that.  I'm more of a “crafter” than an “artist” in my minds eye.  Then by chance I got to take Julie Nuttings class on Saturday where we used a canvas and added layers of paper.  I was motivated to put that idea in my head on canvas.  So Sunday I created a special gift for someone.

I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  I know the person that I made it for will LOVE it.  I'm going to get more canvases……..

Oh……and here is my girl from Julie’s class
