More Projects and Pepper Wins A Major Award!

Here's another one I've been dying to try.  Glue flat glass blobs onto a bottle, stuff some lights inside and VOILA!

Sparkly!!!

I liked this design I saw online too so I made one.  Am kind of obsessed with the rainbow motif.

When I was younger, I thought the pink/white Christmas thing was ugly.  Now I find it really nostalgic and for some reason I associate it with the 1920s, 30s and 40s, but I don't know for sure b/c all the holiday pictures I've ever seen from those eras are black & white.  I saw a tutorial online on how to dye them.  I found small white ones & used Rit magenta dye.  But they were still missing something.

Snow! Right! So I first dabbed white paint on the tips, then painted the bases & branch tips with silver glitter pain

I tried a flocking technique with 2 of the trees, using silver glitter and then white/irridescent glitter, as well as the white-tipped-with-silver-glitter paint.  Put to a vote amongst my friends, the white tipped on the right was preferred, with the center tree coming in second.

I entered Pepper in a little contest on the Will Tree Poultry Farm Facebook page.  They make the best pot pies on the planet and I reeeeeally missed them when I lived out west.  They asked people to post a photo of their mix breed with info about them.  I posted a super cute pic of her, the one posted on the right side of the page in fact, and I got a message from Willow Tree almost right away saying that she was so cute that they wanted to send her a prize.  I was quite tickled.  The package arrived the following day.

Oh boy a new toy!

"Mama makes me poze wiff dis toy".  She was so impressed.  Not.  lol  Sagan, on the other hand, snatched it away seconds after I snapped this picture.

"Stop takin pitchers!"

Beautiful sunset that day too!
