Link Up for Pink

Thank you all for visiting this weekend and welcome to my new followers. It was really fun to do a hop and I hope to do another one soon. Everyone is so creative and it is so much fun to share together:)

There is still time to get in on the drawing for the hop. Go to here or here and enter. Winner will be announced October 17th.

This month, as I'm sure everyone knows, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is close to home for me as my Mom had a total mastectomy back in 1985. My Mom used to work for an OB/GYN office and they had gotten a new mammogram machine. All the women in the office were having mammograms so that the employees could understand how to work the new machines. Our family was very fortunate that this event happened as she had no symptoms. My Mom had a bilateral mastectomy soon after. She just turned 81 at the end of September and is cancer free. So, get checked regularly and do self examinations too!

Celeste, Gaby and Yolie (fellow bloggers) are having a Link Up for Pink Party. I am including this card in the party. There is still time if you want to add to the party too.

So What's New Blog Hop Day 2

Hello! Welcome back for Day 2 of So What's New Blop Hop. If your hopping over from Melody, then you are exactly where you need to be. If you are starting here, you might want to hop back to Roberta and check out all the creativity from the beginning. Some of us are celebrating the hop by giving away Blog Candy so make sure you check out all the great creations.

Okay, on with the project today. Subway art is very popular right now and I thought it might be fun to create my own. Michael's was having a sale on canvas and I purchased these.

It's kind of hard to tell, but I painted the canvas with an acrylic ecru first. (Paint is still a little wet in this pic)

I then layed out design on my gypsy and cut. Love my gypsy!  

I painted glitter paint over the finished project. This was a lot of fun to make and there are many possibilities for future subway art in my mind:)

Here's the blog candy again that you could win.

Rules to be in the drawing are:
1. Follower of my blog. 
2. Leave a comment on blog hop post for your chance to win.

Make sure to leave email so I can contact if you are the winner:) Winner will be announced on Monday, October 17th.

Now hop on over to Susan and see all her crafty goodness:)

"So What's New" Blog Hop Is Here!

Welcome to our 2 day So What's New Blog Hop!!! I'm so excited to be participating in my first blog hop! If your hopping over from Susan at Croatian Crafter, then your in the right place. If not, you'll want to hop back to Leah at My Craft and Chat Cafe  and start at the beginning so you can see all the goodies the newbie bloggers have made. Many of us have blog candy to share so you definitely don't want to miss the chance to win.  We are displaying our work to help you get to know us better. We decided that anything goes so I decided to show my creativity by making some home decor for Halloween. I wanted a treat jar for my counter in the kitchen so I decided to make this little cutie.

Supplies to get started.

 Painted black and sprayed with polyurethane to give shine and protection.

White vinyl was used to create poison and bats.

Added silver glitter in the lid.

This was so easy and quick to make that I'm thinking I should rush back to Michael's and get some more glass jars. They had pink, blue, yellow, and orange for 2.99. What a bargain! I had no idea they came in colors. I was looking for clear. I'm so happy I found my pukey green bowl:). It worked perfect for my design.

Recipe:

6" glass bowl

4" terra cotta pot

4" saucer
Ribbon

wooden ball
Poison - 1.82" Happy Hauntings
Bats - 1.24" 1.35", 1.50" Happy Hauntings 

E6000 glue

polyurethane spray

silver glitter

white vinyl
sponge brush

black acrylic paint
