Zobmingo!

I went to the mail box the other day and there was a package addressed to me. I pulled it out and it was making this horrible growl squawking sound.  I quickly ran inside with it so I would not draw attention of my neighbors.  It was wrapped really well. I looked at the box as it wiggled and  growled, almost afraid to open it.  You only live once, right?  Then you become a zombie...

So I open it....


And this is what emerged, hissing and growling at me....

Thank you Chris!!  He will fit in just fine with the band of misfit zombies here and have a very good home!!!

Big smiles...Even bigger teeth!

 

 

 

A big thank you to Jill for the incredible Cheshire Cat zombie doll and gifts!  After several weeks of traveling and visiting family in the Carolinas, I was delighted to return home and tear into this box!  I absolutely love the Cheshire cat with the dangly eye, exposed entrails, and zombie mouse snack!  The doll is beautiful, thank you so much Jill.  He will occupy a special spot in my craft room!  Along with the amazing doll, Jill included an Alice in wonderland keychain, a bag of candy pumpkins...which may already be gone..... and a spooky hand painted eyeball plate.  Once again, thank you Jill. 

I am overwhelmed by the talent I have seen on this swap.  I am a first-time swapper here, and a very novice crafter.  Over the past few weeks, I have watched this blog for updates and sneak peeks- and I most certainly felt that I was in the company of some seriously talented artists.  I can only hope that the recipient of the doll I made is half as delighted as I am!  Thank you all for welcoming me into this group.   

The Great Pumpkin Patch

I wanted to share my pumpkin patch with all of you...since you helped create it!

First we have The White Rabbit from Jill,  Little Red from Kerry and The Mad Hatter from Debbie!

Then we have a mummy zombie from the first ever zombie doll swap I hosted

And here we have Dorothy from Spring.  I created for myself mini Raggedy Ann and Griselda. 

The full view of my Undead group!

I haven't finished the leaves on some of the larger pumpkins....and I need to put some black cloth on the mirror...but you can get the idea of what it will look like come October.

Apparently zombie dolls are like Lay's potato chips....you can't have just one!

Alice is here.

Alice is here and she is dead, well undead! The queen managed to almost chop off her head and it is hanging by a thread.. Thank you Micki for package.

Malice has come home!

My zombie package arrived yesterday afternoon – as I was on my way out the door to go to dinner so I quickly ran inside and opened the box and found the most amazing Alice, I mean Malice in Wonderland! She is awesome and scary and I love her!

Not only did Malice arrive safely but she arrived with the coolest little birdhouse I have ever seen, complete with a base full of eyeballs! So, creepy, cool!

To round off this sweet package of zombie goodness are a set of 3 Halloween ornaments spelling out the word BOO.

Thank you Melinda, Malice is amazing and I just love everything you sent! You made my day!! Soooo, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My Package Came!!!

This was inclosed.....
Deep in Wonderland, White Rabbit will never be late again for the Queen of Hearts. You see, he lost his head- and found it again and sewed it back on. And he came back, sought his revenge on the Queen, and then settled himself in a patch of colorful mushrooms and ate until his eyes went cross... It was a wonderful trip.... and at the end of his long , strange trip, he noticed his tail was just a tad more colorful!!!!

 Bloody nub holding torn fabric cards!

 No leg and the stitching around the eyes is all colorful!

 LOOK AT THE TAIL!!!!!

I LOVE it!!! So very awesome Sarah J!! Thank you so much!!! Look at all the sweet tuck-ins she sent too...mmmm. Taffy, candy corn, chocolates and adorable Halloween tissues. What a wonderful partner.

The Hatter is Spectacular!

Mr. Hatter flew in today.  As I drove up to the house, I could see his box thumping across my front porch.  Kaela quickly jumped out to snatch it up before it fell off and into a puddle!

I ripped off the wrapping and....lookie lookie!  The Hatter and lots of goodies....including a handcrafted pumpkin for my Halloween tree.

"The Jabberwocky lost the fight as you can see, and now his leg is a cane for me!"
