It's Good To Meet You Mr Grinch !!!!

 

This green bundle of pure zombie goodness has taken up residence in my patch !!!

He has settled down well and fits right in.

Thank you Iara for this treasure - I LOVE HIM !!!

Look at him nestled in there amongst his brain eating friends !!!

Iara spoilt me with lots of other fun goodies .... yarn, kitchen goodies (some of my most favorite things ever) !!! Hand sanitizers - can't get enough of those given I work with preschool kiddos every day :-)

And some goodies to display on my tiered trays.

Thank you SO much Iara for spoiling me, and to Val for putting together another AMAZING swap ..... this has become one of my highlights each year !!!

Undead Bluefish . . .

Look at this amazing "undead bluefish" . . . sitting in his own fish bowl full of victims.

He is AMAZING!!!  I wish you all could see him in person.  He is so great!

(My family may be tiring of me walking around saying, "One fish, Two fish, Undead Bluefish."

I keep looking at him just because he makes me smile!  He has glitter and sequins . . . and he is so cute!

We all must agree . . . that zombies can be cute!

Shelly did an amazing job!  Here is undead bluefish sitting among his tuck-ins.

Here is undead bluefish sitting with his fellow zombies!

This swap is so much fun!  Thank you Val for hosting it!

My name is ze Lorax, I speakz for the braaaaaiins.

As I was running late, I held off opening my box from Kerry until I had my package sent out to her. Oh my goodness, what a delight from the first look! Such awesome presentation, and wonderful goodies. 

I especially love these Jack and Sally sock pumpkins and feel so inspired about how to handle my overgrown stash of worn-out socks.

I was thrilled with this AMAZING Lorax! The bones are an especially unique touch. And those teeth!

Thank you Kerry for this guy who definitely meets the definition of "creepy cute." He makes me smile every time I walk past him. 

And thank you Val for hosting what is a wonderful tradition for me. I was sad to have to bow out last year, but am grateful to be back. 

Love, iara

Daisy-Head Mayzie in Zombieland

 I literally let out an audible gasp when I unwrapped Daisy Head Mayzie re-imagined as a zombie!  She is absolutely PRECIOUS!  Can you really use the word "precious" when talking about a zombie? You tell me!

Her expression!

The Daisy coming out of her head!  An her hair is SO COOL!!

The details of her dress!

And then there is the re-telling of her story....  I LOVE this!

I was absolutely spoiled by my swap partner, Clare - look at the tuck ins!  I am slightly obsessed with Dia de los Muertos - Salt & Pepper shakers - those will be displayed year round!  So many fun things in this package!

Thank you so much, Clare!! I am giddy with the Halloween spirit!

And thank you to the hostess with the mostess, Val!

The Cat in the Hat Zombified!!!

 

I am thrilled with my new Zombie. Stacey went all out on this guy and the rest of this amazing package. I felt totally spoiled and I LOVE him :) Seriously, do you see those ribs :) His tail is partly bone, he is amazing. 

Then there is the rest of the goodies. A pirate skeleton and his companion skeleton octopus. Plus gummy octopi. I love gummy candy so this, of course, made me happy

But wait... there is more. Do you see this cookie. Not only is it adorable, it is delicious! That box below it is full of more cookies that make up a skeleton. The cookies are so beautiful! Almost too beautiful to eat (almost).

Here is most of the package. Full of fun things that I love, camping stickers, skeletons, gummies, and cookies LOL One of the cookies is gone... yes, like I said... delicious :) 

I did manage to take a picture of the other cookie before I ate the whole thing. It was hard but I had to share the beautiful work that went into this cookie as well. 

Stacey, THANK YOU!!! I love my new zombie, he is perfect. The cookies are amazing and I am thrilled with the entire box of goodies. 

Val, thank you for hosting this swap. As always, it was so much fun!! I look forward to the next one.
