Holiday Happenings on eBay....

I've listed a couple of things on ebay to start of the Holiday Season.

First is this little snowman hang tag ornie made from a paper hang tag and designed using watercolor pencils, mica flakes, tarnished silver glass glitter, twisted rusty wire and a vintage button.

I also listed these little snowman paper mache bell ornies. Both auctions have the Buy It Now option.

Halloween Give It Forward Clock....

Last year I was the lucky recipient of this adorable Halloween clock hand painted by Artist Terrye French of Thepaintedpearbasket! She posted this clock on her blog and my name was drawn to be the keeper of this clock for one year. Now....it is my turn to Give It Forward!

This little clock has a secret compartment in the top that will have a hidden treasure that will be yours to keep. When it is your turn to Give It Forward, you may keep the little treasure and replace it with something of yours.


The bottom of the clock also opens to reveal another compartment in which there is a scroll that Terrye signed and now it is my turn to sign the scroll before I Give It Forward.


You have from now until 12:00 midnight PDT to leave a comment here for me about your favorite thing about Halloween or a Halloween memory of yours.

Good Luck Everyone! Tell your friends to hurry and sign up and if you are a lucky little ghost or goblin....next year will be your turn to give this Halloween clock forward!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I just have to share with you one of the most amazing things that I have ever won! Last week, I was lucky enough to get to sign up and then even luckier to have my name drawn as the winner for this adorable OOAK candy bucket entitled "I WANT CANDY" from the wonderful and talented Laurie Hardin of Monkey-Cats Studio!! Laurie was kind enough to offer her blog readers a chance to sign up and win one of her amazing pieces during her blog sale. If you haven't seen her work before, then click on the link above to go to her blog.

Isn't he the most adorable little guy that you have ever seen?! Just look at that face!!

And my little granddaughter just couldn't resist giving the little guy a smooch on that chubby little cheek of his!

I can't wait to fill him up with some Halloween treats! I still haven't bought my candy yet!

Ok J.......back away from the Jack-o lantern! LOL

Thank you Laurie for making my day, my week, my month, my year!!!

"Praline Pumpkin Girl" Hang Tag Ornie on Ebay! Ü

I just listed my little hang tag ornie that was published in the Autumn 2010 issue of Prims magazine on ebay! She's one of the most detailed hang tags that I have ever designed and I am so in love with her. She will make the sweetest addition to your Halloween tree or as a little mini picture to your wall.

Just click on any of the pics above to go see her Ebay aucton and make sure to add her to your watch list so she doesn't get away.

Thanks everyone & Happy Halloween!

So Excited to be in the Fall Issue of PRIMS!

I was lucky enough to have two submissions published in the current issue of PRIMS magazine along with my article on the Penny Feather Tree! Which also got a mention of the front cover...A Tribute to Penny McAllister. Penny would be so proud! We all miss her so much!

I hope you'll have time to stop by your local book store and pick up a copy! Or you can simply click on the picture of the front cover to order your copy today! :)

I will be listing the two pieces of mine that were featured in the gallery section on eBay as soon as they return from California next week. Oh how I have missed them!

I am especially proud of my little hang tag/ornie that is published in there. She is so detailed and I think she is one of my best to date! Her picture here just doesn't do her justice.

And the little chunky canvas painting that I submitted was actually for our EHAG Black & White Fright Night Challenge. Instead of listing her....I mailed her out along with my hang tag. And off to Laguna Hills, California and the Stampington & Company they went! My fingers and toes were crossed hoping and praying that they would make the cut and be accepted into this issue. Then several months later.....after my fingers and toes were all cramped up....I got the email saying that my submissions were going to be published along with the Penny Feather Tree story! YEEHAW!!!!

I promise that I'll be back to share their auction links when I have them both listed on ebay. Oh....and thank you for listening to me gloat......hehehe I'm a happy little Halloween camper right now! =D

Newest Piece of Vintage Palette Art....

Here's looking at you Pumpkin! ;o)

I knew when I saw this bowl come into the shoppe that I would have to transform it into a pumpkin candy dish! I had the perfect little knob to give it too! A real pumpkin stem that I had kept the past 2 or 3 years just waiting to be used! I think it fits perfectly...don't you?


I gave her that eggshell crackle finish that I love also!

And that double paper collar or ruff adds a nice touch also! ♥

She's listed on ebay right now and ends this coming Sunday evening at 9:45pm EDT-6:45pm PDT. I hope you will stop by to see her! You can CLICK HERE to do that! =D

PFATT Tuesday Offering on Ebay...

PFATT Tuesday is here! The members of the Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea ebay group are doing a themed challenge and the theme is "Miss October 31st". You will have to stop by and check out all the amazingly creative PFATT Tuesday auctions by CLICKING HERE.

And here is my contribution to PFATT Tuesday! May I introduce to you......Elizabeth, "Miss October 31st"!

"Mirror, Mirror in my hand...
who's the fairest in the land?"

Since winning the title of "Miss October 31st", Elizabeth just can't stop looking at herself in the mirror and admiring her new crown and sash. I guess you could say that winning the title has "went to her head". ;o)

Hand painted on a vintage wooden hand held mirror with acrylic paints and using vintage papers, black mica flakes, german glass glitter and a very unique vintage celluloid button.

Elizabeth was a joy to create! I hope you will stop by to see HER AUCTION. She ends next Tuesday evening...July 27 at 9:45pm EDT-6:45pm PDT.

New Ebay Vintage Palette Auction.....

It seems like forever since I have had time to paint! I was so busy with the Fireworks Festival festivities that I haven't had time to make anything for months!

I found this little vintage wooden shoe last at a garage sale and just knew that I had to paint something Halloween on it!

I just love making OOAK Halloween art pieces that you wouldn't normally find anywhere else. The penny rug fingers were made using vintage papers, little tack nails, vintage style paper trim and black glass glitter.

I hope you will stop by her Ebay Auction before she ends this coming Sunday evening July 18th at 9:00pm EST.
