The Leaf Coat, The Night Sky and Pumpkin Banana Pie!

Two of my most recent ACEOs. A rattie is using a pretty fall leaf as a coat while a mouse prowls under a night sky.

Tomorrow I will be going by mom's to test run a banana pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, which will be at my brother and sister-in-laws. Saw the recipe in a magazine and thought it would be more interesting than just a plain pumpkin pie. But just in case it didn't turn out good I thought it would be a good idea to make one to taste test. I will keep you posted on how it turned out!

Have a great weekend!

This, That and NFAC

NFAC ends tonight and the top two pictures are my entry this month for the theme 'Halloween'. The bottom two are my last two for Halloween this year. I had bought a pack of Colorfix paper in various colors and really like this shade. I guess my color correction needs a bit of work since the bottom two should have the same color background, but the overall tone is good.

I have updated my Zazzle shop with a few more items today, if you have any requests for items you'd like to see, let me know and I will add them. They are having a contest for designing a recipe binder, so I have been working on that too.

A few weeks back we mailed a package to my nephew in Mali and he received it already, I wasn't expecting it to get there for another few weeks! He is doing well I am happy to report.

It's rainy and chilly in NJ today, not a good combo, although a bit better than hot, humid and rainy.

Wow, look at the time, I better get cracking!

Have a nice day!

Zazzle Keds shoes and ACEOs

Yesterday I was happy to receive this picture of an actual pair of shoes I designed on Zazzle. They were purchased by the sister of a talented fellow artist on eBay, ID golders. I am so happy she sent me the picture, so a big Thank You! to golders. Check her out on eBay, she does beautiful work, like this adorable Hedgehog journal.

The shoes trims are customizable, which were made a pretty pink. It is always nice to know the customer is happy with their purchase!

And below I have my two newest ACEOs, which are drawn on a smooth bristol paper. The first little rattie is being chased by a mean raven trying to steal his Halloween candy, and the second rattie has made a wrong turn in her walk to meet up with friends.



Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Halloween Rats and TV complaints

I am starting on my Halloween ratties, one is happy with his pumpkin basket and the other just loves his turkey costume. I will have fun the next couple of weeks deciding how to dress them.

I am so not ready for the new shows to be starting. I am peeved that they took 'Without a Trace' off the air so I am boycotting Tuesday TV. NCIS is ok but why did they make another one in LA when they could have kept 'Without a Trace'? And then sticking another new show in it's 10:00 slot, I don't care if Mr Big is in it or not, I won't watch.

They always seem to get rid of the shows I like so I try not to get too attached. First they get me hooked on 'Vanished' and 'The Nine', they just pull them off the air with no ending show of what happened. And I really liked Everwood, and that was pulled too even though it had better ratings than some garbage they kept on. Arrghh. The good news is I won't be a slave to the TV this season.

I am hesitant to name my favorite shows for fear they will pull them off the air too. (Yeah, like the network execs hang on my every word, haha)

Oh well, maybe I will have some rats protesting about my TV shows. In the meantime I will go back to my book, 'The Neighbor' by Lisa Gardner, which is excellent. Can't wait to see how it ends.

Have a great evening.
