The rest of the week

So, I got distracted and never posted my favorite pictures from the rest of the week.  So here are some of my favorites…

From Wednesday.  My favorite candy bar ever.(Cadbury Crunchie, for those wondering)

From Thursday.  The little man sneaking around in his sister’s room.

From Friday.  My dad’s first sunflower to bloom this year.

From Saturday.  Sometimes I stick my tongue out at the camera, too.

From Sunday.  The Masked Sweetheart.

Thanks for putting up with me as I’ve been trying to do this project.  I’ll share some pictures when I get the album together.

Tuesday and Burtonesque Challenge

Hello.  I didn’t take quite as many pictures today.  Here’s one of my favorites, though…

It’s dark, but I love that you can see me taking the picture in the reflection of his sunglasses.:)  (and yes, that is my husband driving the car)

OK, now on to the other part of this post.  I decided to play along this week with the challenge over at The Burtonesque Dolls.  The challenge is to use lyrics from one of the songs in The Nightmare Before Christmas in your project.  I think it’s really cool that they’re having people vote for the winner of this week’s challenge.  Now I have to admit something…I’ve never actually seen the whole movie of  The Nightmare Before Christmas.  I am a big fan of Tim Burton, however.  And I like the character designs from this movie, and after looking up song lyrics I’ve discovered that I really like Sally’s Song.  Now that I’ve made all my excuses here’s what I made…

 

It’s hard to tell, but the inside is sparkly where I painted it.

And a close up so that you can read the lyrics…

The coffin template is from Martha Stewart and can be found here.

The drawing of Sally is my own.

Thanks for looking!  I’ll be back later with a blog hop post for tomorrow.

Week In The Life Project

I decided to try to do this.  I stumbled across it through someone’s blog and thought it would be fun.  To find out more about the project you can go to Ali Edwards’ site.  Basically, you’re just documenting your life for a week via pictures and notes and other little snippets you come across in your everyday life.  So far I’ve taken over 30 pictures, which is kind of scary since I’ll be doing this all week.:) 

I’ll try to share a picture from each day this week with you.  And I’ll definitely share my album with you when the week’s over and I put it together.

Here’s a picture from today that I found amusing…

We ran to the store for snacks.  We found these cookies and had to buy them since they’re packaged in a frisbee!

I’ll be back tomorrow.  Thanks for looking!
