Her Hero!

I received my package from Jeanette yesterday, but would not allow myself to dig in until I had my package for her ready to go. Such a delight to see that my 2016 surfer girl has a handsome lifeguard to rescue her -- or not. He seems to be in a bit of trouble himself. I cannot get over this cute little shark who just refuses to let go.

I love all the Jack and Yoda goodies included! The high school friend who was there when my name was misheard as "Yoda" will get such a kick out of the bottle. This new bird will be happy perching in the windowsill, waiting to peck out the eyes of an unsuspecting victim. Thank you Jeanette for all the love and talent you've put into this project. I feel inspired to try working with felt more often!

Thanks again Val, for hosting this swap. I know that over the years you have gotten busy, but the fact that you continue to make the Annual Zombie Doll swap a reality makes me very grateful to continue to be a part of it.

Hugs and kisses, iara

just a peek . . .

Sneak peek . . . . this little zombie will be shipped out tomorrow.

I love sending zombie dolls off to a new home . . . almost as much as I love making them.

Undead Zombie Mailing

Dear partner,
Your zombie is in the mail. I repeat . . . there is a zombie heading your way. I hope you will be pleased with your zombie. I had a great time creating for you! Seriously, sometimes I think I enjoy creating zombie wounds way more than I should. Here's a sneak peek of some zombie wounds.

Thank you to Val for hosting this swap. I always look forward to it!

Jill

Now to get us in the mood....here is something my brother sent LAST YEAR that I've been dying to share!

Enjoy!!!!

A VERY ZOMBIE HOLIDAY...turn on the speakers for this "instructional" video!

2018 Zombie Doll Swap

Registration is CLOSED...try again next August!

It's that time of year again!   I'm hosting my annual Zombie Doll Swap!  Grab the badge and spread the word!!!

This year's theme: " EMPLOYABLE ZOMBIES!"


This swap will make you look at your waitress, repairman, pool boy, doctor, personal trainer, banker and hairdresser (this list could get seriously long) in a whole new light!  Just thinking of a zombie with a name tag on cracks me up for some reason.  Maybe you have a co-worker you'd like to turn in to a zombie for some reason....well, here's your chance!

Here is what we are swapping:  


You will create one "EMPLOYABLE" zombie doll for your partner and then add a minimum of 3 tuck ins to round out the package.
Please give your zombie doll a NAME TAG of some kind.   
*The add ins need not be handmade.  They can be purchased, thrifted, re gifted, etc as long as they are clean and undamaged. 

This is a USA swap only.
The sign up close date is August 11th so I can announce partners the following week.  I retain the right to close the swap early if I choose.
If interested, please don't wait to join up.

Ship date is September 22nd so the dolls can arrive to their new home by the 1st week of October.

If you want to join, leave a comment here and then email me at valpowery(at) yahoo(dot)com with the answers to these questions:

1. Name and address
2. List of 3 occupations for your partner to choose (one) from. 
3. Colors you decorate with for Halloween 
4. Choose either "creepy" or "cute" style
5. List what you decorate with at Halloween
6. List any things you collect or hobbies you have for "tuck in" ideas.

Please read:

My swaps are made to encourage creativity, not bust the bank.  That being said, your package should equate to about 30 bucks before shipping.  Please create a zombie doll that you feel certain your partner will adore.  Also, be considerate when wrapping items for shipping.    
When shipping, I suggest using tracking.  If the doll does not arrive within 10 business days, you will be responsible for making and sending a NEW zombie doll package.  Any flakers will be banned from future swaps.

2017 ornament swap

   I received my ornaments yesterday and couldn't wait to open the box up.  THANK YOU ALL!! 

They look great on my tree. 

 

Thank You Val for hosting another fun swap.  Chris 😍😍😍

 

Everyone seems to be running a bit late this year.  No worries! I’ll mail by  mid month!
