Christmasy Stuff and This and That

Good Morning !
I hope everyone has had a good week.
Mine has actually been a fairly productive one. We had that storm pass thru here beginning last Sunday so I was able to stay home quite a bit and get some badly needed organizing done. I was finally able to go thru my stack of paper clutter, and rearrange and organize my craft room. I love being able to work in a clean, fresh space. When things are cluttered I have a hard time concentrating.


I got one of those embellishment shelves from Making Memories at Michaels on Black Friday. (It was the only place I went) All of their scrapbook storage items were 55% off! I had had my eyes on this for quite some time and when this sale came up I grabbed it, I just love a good deal, don't you?

It looked so pretty in the morning light today that I had to take a picture and share all the glittery goodness sparkling in the sun.
All of my Spookytime Jingles items are photographed and ready to be uploaded today for the update on the 13th. Here is one of the Christmas items. I also will have a few new Halloween Pieces this month.


And speaking of Spookytime Jingles, Have you seen the Tree we have on Ebay? If not you may want to check it out. It is amazing! Filled with over 44 OOAK ornaments from STJ Artists, it is at least a $1000.00 value. Imagine having that in your living room this year.

Time to get back to work, I have lots to do today.
Have a great day and stay warm if you are in this weather system as well. We are actually going to be above freezing today, Woo Hoo!!

Cheers,
Tracy M.

A Little Something...

In case you missed it on '60 Minutes', this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

"As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!"

A friend of mine e-mailed this to me today and I thought it was so true and funny I just had to share...

Enjoy!!

Update Time Friday the 13th

Well Halloween is over for another year. I still have my indoor decorations up though. I don't take them down til Thanksgiving or shortly before. Now it's time to focus more on Christmas art. This Friday the 13th is the monthly update for Spookytime Jingles! Yay!!

Here's a sneak peek at my items for November's issue.

Be sure to stop by Friday to see everything

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like.......

Halloween?

This is what it looks like in our backyard this morning.

Yep, Mother Nature did it to us again here in Colorado.
We got a Halloween Blizzard.
Two days of pretty much non-stop snow. The good news is that it will melt pretty quickly and hopefully by tomorrow night the little ghouls and goblins won't have to wade thru too much snow to get their treats.
And speaking of Halloween, I wanted to show a redo of the fireplace mantel decor. I did some rearranging to add some new goodies I got this year.

I got black feather tree and hung skulls on it, I think it needs a few more.

I also have two new artist additions, The little Pumpkin Painting from Lisa hanging in front on the spider web. And just above and to the left a Spooky Theater from Dani. I just love them!!

And here is Mr Silver in his party hat that I won from the Wandering Witch contest on the EHAG Blog. It was made by Cathy and fits fits him perfectly!

Unfortunately that's all the Halloween I put out this year.

In other news I wanted to pass along a warning I received this morning from Jonty about a virus going around from an email supposedly from Face book. Please check out his post that will tell you all about it.

And with that I am off on my broom to fly thru the snow! Bwa Ha Ha!

Happiest of Halloween to you!

More Halloween

Happy Thursday all, been busy with some custom orders. I made these little Spider Treat Boxes for a customer who will be giving them out as favors at her Halloween Party.

They were really fun to make. I'm trying to get a few more done to put in my shop before it's too late for Halloween.

I should have more treats to share soon.

Take Care,
Tracy M.

Tomorrow Is The Day....

There are going to be some fantastic pieces this month.

Here is another one of mine.

Remember you can start shopping at Midnight Eastern time.

Woo Hoo, I can't wait!

You Know What I Love?

My computer. You know what I hate? My computer. It's a love/hate relationship. I'm sure a lot of you can relate. My laptop has been giving me fits for awhile now and last week finally crashed completely. So until it's fixed I have to do every thing from either my son' or work computer. You just don't realize how much you depend on something til you can't use it.

Anyway , enough of my griping.

I also wanted to show a few WIPs and Halloween sneak peek for the upcoming Spookytime Jingles update next Tuesday on the 13th.

This crown will be on Spookytime Jingles

Also another Crypt piece. The one behind it may not be ready for the update so will have to go in my Etsy.

And these are some painted muslin Jack-O-Lanterns, not sure if I'm quite happy with them or not.

I've got more to share but was unable to get any more pictures yet.

OOh, I almost forgot. I won a prize from the EHAG Wondering Witch Blog contest! It is a great party hat by Cathy Nash of Eclectic Company.
A fellow STJ Artist.

Isn't it great, I love it. We put it on the dog when I opened it. I don't think he was amused, but we were. Tee Hee.
Isn't he cute?

Have a great rest of the week and wish me luck with my computer.
Take Care,
Tracy M.
