Drum Roll Please . . . .

Finally, I would like to introduce . . . . . .

the long-awaited-limited edition-Christmas 2008

"Fa la la"

{bettcha didn't guess it!}

I stayed true to Christmas colors - red, green, white and lime. I'm really into this fun mod look. As last time - it is a set of 3 5x5's. They will have paper backing and a saw tooth hanger on each. Ready to hang OR sit!


I actually will keep this set - I didn't get a set of the "boo" to keep - {boo hoo!} - and this set was really only the practice set. There will be a few things that I will do different for each of your sets.

For one - the lime green tick marks on the "Fa" are tooo straight. I really like the way they look on the top {above the "F' and "a"}.


Another change is the background - I actually didn't pearlize these like I always do! Your set will have a pearl shimmer {unless it looks ghetto!} I'm not having any ghetto-ness on these!



And as much as I can't believe I'm saying this, I am - "the lines on the sides are toooo straight" - what, me{?} - paint a straight line{?} - I know, I really can't! But somehow, I did{!?} And I don't like it!!! So, expect yours to have some slanting going on. Not in the same direction - all "which-a-way" slants.


Now give me some opinions - what do you like?? And as hard as it is to hear the "what you don't like," I'm open to that, too . . . . just try to keep those at a minimum! tee hee


So, come on . . . . tell me! Leave a comment and let me know! Love it - hate it - don't know about it . . . .


A little 3-D embellishment {another "always" on small words art.}


There you have - the Christmas 2008 limited edition piece. I have to tell you - you guys were cracking me up! I was getting emails for several months trying to guess what it was going to be! I came close to "ho ho ho" - but this was more my style! The set sells for $50 {plus shipping.} Go to the site. Click on order form and type in "Christmas 2008" into the slot labeled "desired name or initial". Since you have to fill out the form completely - just type me a note or something like that in the last slot labeled "your chosen design and size."

I hope you love them - and they are as great as you expected {if not better!} For all the pre-orders, you will be receiving an invoice shortly!!!

Again - leave me some feedback!

Haunted House = B-U-S-T!!!!

Boo hoo!! Here is the deal - it was really taking a lot of effort! Not that I mind giving the effort, because I don't - it's just that I should do one for "me" before I try to bust out with some "awesome something" for somebody else!! It was actually going to be for my sweet and sinister partner - not Rachel. The reason I said "this is for you Rachel" is because she wanted me to show some pictures.

Well, since it didn't quite work out for me with the haunted house - which I will pursue later "for me" - I had to whip out something else! Now, I was already behind as it was - so the pressure was definitely present. Let me just say that this is something that I told you guys I was interested in doing - this situation just lent me the reason to just do it! Now, mind you - this had to be something Black - white - And orange. It was very hard for me to stay within this color range - but I did. And I love how this turned out! Okay, are you ready?? Seriously - this is going to be cute!

Here it comes . . . .






ahhhhh - So, what are you thinking?? Lovin' it{?} - hatin' it{?} - tell me!!! The suspense is killing me!

Yes, these are 5 x 5's. I am going to offer this size on the site. Bad thing is I can't really find the size as cheap as I wanted to - so, I'm going to sell this size for 20 smacks for each individual letter. Now, I will give a discount when you buy more than one - I've just got to work out those details.
I know that Halloween isn't everybody's holiday - but you guys have to tell me what you think?? I'm probably going to bust on myself and tell my partner to check out this post. I just can't wait - I have to tell her - that is why I'm NO GOOD at Christmas!! Or birthdays for that matter!! If it is from me - you are going to either get it early OR I'm just going to come out and tell ya'!! Sorry, just not a secret keeper when it comes to gifts!
I really like painting this size - ALOT! It is one of those instant gratification things - I think? I just start painting - and "poof" - there it is - the end result!
Look at that "baby" spider! If spiders looked like that, I wouldn't smoosh them! I actually hand stitched some shiny ribbon for his legs! And in between each orange dot is a tiny dot of orange glitter {Have I ever told you guys how much I love glitter?} This spider was my husband's fav-O-rite!
So, there you have it - different designs - different fonts - but it all matches just as well! Tell me - is this size good OR bad?? I thought they would be great for the small, neglected walls or sitting on a shelf or nook?!

BTW - Arsty Mama is opening up another sweet and sinister swap - so, if any of you are interested, contact her.
