photo friday: costumes

January 30th, 2009 No Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve participated in the photo friday challenges, but this was one that I couldn’t refuse! This is one of my favorite photos. It’s Halloween 2006 and I am dressed as the corpse bride (so much blue skin!), handing out candy at my parents drive thru trick-or-treat.

I recently purchased some new toys for making: a stack cutter and a wire binding machine.  They are amazing and wonderful and it’s amazing how much time I can spend cutting things and then putting them back together with wire.  This weekend I made several little notebooks out of vintage playing cards, and a handful [...]

Just a little belly/baby update.
Yesterday was the 33 week mark and I met with my Doctor. Everything is going swimingly except that I only gained 1 pound in the last month. I am ok with that. Childbirth classes are on their way.

good morning loves.
Shortly I will be traveling to the airport to begin my 10-plus-hour journey to Pensacola, FL.
I’ve packed up 20 years of journals (30-something in all) into a large suitcase and a box to be checked on to the plane. They’ll ride in it’s belly, as Jack rides in mine.
The more I have, [...]
