Escape from Haunted Mansion

Wow...sorry for my lack of blogging, I have been seriously sick. Today is the first day that I have really moved off of my couch since Sunday. All I can say is, if you get a sore throat beware.

Any who, on to the fun stuff. The people over at Disney might be responsible for some annoying trends like the Cheetah Girls and High School Musical, but they have actually done something pretty cool for Halloween. They have a printable Escape from Haunted Mansion 3-D Board Game complete with templates and instructions. This would be a great way to complete your Halloween night after the little ones go trick or treating.

MIA

...and know I don't mean the rapper/hip hop chick...I mean me, I've been MIA for a while. I was super duper busy getting ready for my first real craft show on September 19-21. Well of course, I was working right up until the deadline. I was painting clothes and hats the morning of. Some barely even dried before we walked out the door. I tried out some new things for the show and was pleasantly surprised at how they did. There's nothing like the feeling of creating something new and see someone fall in love with it. The overall experience was wonderful. I was pleased with my sales, we had fun, saw friends, drank beer and networked with people. What more can you ask for? I even got a couple of custom orders. Now it's time to get the apartment back in order from all of the confusion and get back to work so I can be ready for next show, which is October 25th in Washington, GA.
