TA DAH ......

Here she is, the most fantastic zombie doll ever !!!!

Thank you Aniko - you are exceptionally talented. The detail on my doll is amazing, right down to her brains popping out the side of her head. She looks very much at home, nestled amongst my other Halloween decorations. Now, you may ask who is she ...... Well, she came with her Proof Of Identity ....

One day her Prince may return, and she'll need to prove she is Cinderella :-)

My package was filled with lovely goodies .....

 These little bags contained Finnish candy ...... some of it was delicious (I had to hide it from my kids), and some not so yummy (Aniko had warned me ahead of trying it, that it was ikky!!!)

Look at these super cute felt ornaments she made ...... the detail on them is quite lovely. Now if I could just finish my Halloween tree!!!! They will have pride of place on that tree:-)
The letter she sent me with the package, had me laughing ..... It read like a story, it was wonderful !!!

I've always said that one of my very favorite parts of taking part in a swap, is making new friends ...... this swap was no different. It was fun getting "to know" Aniko, we emailed back and forth often, and I'm sure we'll keep up that contact even though this swap is over.

Aniko, thank you for the most AWESOME package - it was a real joy to receive. You most certainly brought a smile to my day :-)
Val, thank you for organizing another phenomenal swap ........... your hard work in putting it together, and keeping us on track, is so, so, so appreciated !!!!

It's the zombie apocalypse

What a fun swap this was. I really don't decorate for Halloween but I did this last year and it put me in the mood. I was paired with a new friend...Heather. Heather wanted to use clay so I said I would too. What I didnt realize is Heather is wonderful clay artist. what I made for her looks like an art project gone wrong in comparison, but I hope she likes Little Dead riding hood despite her many flaws. Ironically, she sent me a Little Red too! She is so delicate and pretty I think in a past life she was a fairy.

She even made a pet wolf on a chain...The details are wonderful. She made soldered clay charms that I am going to make a necklace out of and an adorable bag that everything went into with chocolate too! Woohoo....

I love this little skull charm! absolute coolness...

Now for little Miss out of control Dead and just in case you missed it, she came with a disclaimer.....

Instead of bringing Grandma a basket she is sitting in one. I made her some halloween cards in the shape of gravestones and included some thin ginger cookies ( I LOVE these things) and some Hot Chocolate....

So I put Zombies from last year as a centerpiece for my table and here they are...A zombie tea party.

One last thing...If you want to read a great zombie apocalypse book for young adults read "The Hollowlands" and its sequel by Amanda Hocking...They both are page turners....Happy Halloween all...xoxoxmelinda

Laura and Spring.....I need to hear from you two please.  Halloween is quickly approaching and zombies are MIA!!!!

I'm So Excited!

I can't wait for my partner to get her swap package!! 

 

 I'm so excited to see if she likes it!!

 

  Come on Mr. Mailman!!

Zombie Swap 2012

They are all sitting on the buffet and looking really scarey

Pippi Long"stalking"

Here is the package I sent Spring.  Pippi has been well received so I thought I'd share.

I got a book from the library and copied her from it ...here she is posed in front of the goodies I included in the package:

Here's what I made :)

I think they turned out cute :)

My partner wanted Cat in the Hat inspired zombies. One of my friends saw them and said "OMG it looks likes either Thing 1 or Thing 2 met with one of the Walkers from the Walking Dead."

Mission accomplished LOL

Poor Thing 1, had his head, hands and feet chopped off.

My dd still loved them an awful lot and was sad to see them go.
