Long picture heavy post........

 

.......Real quick.... those that wanted to know how i did this.. I don't have step by step pics but i can tell you.... Started with a hardcover sketch book and put texture paste through a feather stencil then painted the whole thing shades of blue... then used sandpaper to reveal the feathers... easy peasy... 

Let's start off by showing you my Halloween themed Belated Birthday Tea Party pictures! See the Witch Fingers? I made those! I think the pink 'nail polish' really made them great.. lol

Everyone had their own special tea cup... sugar cubes were a big hit as you can imagine... 

I spent an entire day and a half pulling out Halloween decorations and setting it up... fun but i was pooped by the time the party rolled around and i had to put it all away after... 

Found the perfect pumpkin color roses for the occasion.  

I had a skeleton sitting by the front door holding a sign that said 'Knock three times for the party'... That was a big hit... 

And this guy sitting at the table with us was a big hit too... They loved to go over and make his jaw move and pretend he was talking... lol ! Had me laughing alot...lol They both showed up dressed like the most adorable little witches... :)

The littlest Grandlittle is very much into little boos..So i tried my hand at painting her one... I think it came out adorable... I'm more into a scary Halloween but the Grandlittles like cute so hey i can do cute...lol

If your still hanging in there thought i would show you how tall those plants are getting! I didn't crop it in close because i wanted you to have something to compare them too so you could tell how tall they are!!! 

And they have produced a few flowers... Wasps are crawing all over them... so i guess thats who will pollinate them.. .I hope to collect the seeds.. 

Wow you made it! If you made it to the end thank you so much for hanging in there!  Its hot and humid here but we've had no rain since that BIG rain and flooding event.. The grass that sprouted with that is beginning to die back .. thank goodness.. We seem to be back to our typical hot dry conditions at least for the moment.. with some humidity thrown in .. Hubs is doing well ... he's been off playing alot of golf.. does my heart good to see him out and about and active.. Right at the moment he's in his shop building a bird house.. :)  Take care till next time! Hugs!deb
