Last week I sucked at blogging. To make up for it I will do two giveaways again. So two winners. One will win the book Wicked (Witch and Curse) and the other will win Bloodlines. I would normally do a review of each one, but I'm really running short on time. These are both great books I can tell you that! I'll get synopsis about them from their sites and just fill out the form below to have a chance to win this giveaway! Better hurry!<br />

<div align="left">
Holly Cathers's world shatters when her parents are killed in a terrible accident. Wrenched from her home in San Francisco, she is sent to Seattle to live with her relatives, Aunt Marie-Claire and her twin cousins, Amanda and Nicole. </div>
<div align="left">
In her new home, Holly's sorrow and grief soon give way to bewilderment at the strange incidents going on around her. Such as how any wish she whispers to her cat seems to come true. Or the way a friend is injured after a freak attack from a vicious falcon. And there's the undeniable, magnetic attraction to a boy Holly barely knows. </div>
<div align="left">
Holly, Amanda, and Nicole are about to be launced into a dark legacy of witches, secrets, and alliances, where ancient magics yield dangerous results. The girls will assume their roles in an intergenerational feud beyond their wildest imaginations...and in doing so, will attempt to fulfill their shared destiny.</div>

What I can tell you about this book is that I couldn't wait to read it. I loved the series Vampire Academy. This new series takes a few of the characters from that series and puts them in a story of their own. It's the same world I loved!</div>

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">Blood doesn't lie...</span></em></strong></div>
<span class="style17" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;"><span class="style8">Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...</span></span><br />

This Halloween craft I found in Disney's Family Fun Halloween Edition 2011. It a pretty easy project that you can get some of the kids involved in. Also I only spent $1 on each of them, because I already had the other things (black construction paper, hole punch, modge podge, black paint). More than likely you do too.</div>

I got these glass containers at the Dollar Tree. So $1 for each one you want to do. I got different sizes and shapes to see which would work better.</div>

You want to take black construction paper and tear strips, then small squares from them. Using a hole punch, punch two holes in each square.</div>

Take the Mod Podge and a brush to adhere these squares to these glass containers. You want them to overlap, but do not cover the holes you punched out.</div>

I added the tall one next to my BOO letters and added a candle inside. I found the short ones better because the light from the candle was able to go through the eyes more. But I am very happy how this project went.</div>

I started many Halloween projects I will be posting this week, but didn't finish any. I want to blame my new medicine is just making me too sleepy to do it. Also too sleepy to get on her and blog. Today I planned on showing you a project, announcing the next giveaway, and of course announcing the giveaway winners. Well I will do one out of the three! I hope to announce the next giveaway tomorrow night, so make sure you come back then.<br />
<br />
But who won the Nightmare Before Christmas mixed media pieces? <br />
<br />
The winner of the Sally piece is...... Ginny!<br />
<br />
The winner of the Jack and Sally piece is...... Melissa!<br />
<br />
If you can email me your addresses so I can send you your new art. I'll try to message you tomorrow when my body hopefully wakes up.

Well in the September/October 2010 of Cloth Paper Scissors I saw these amazing skeletal assemblages. Last year for some reason I never saw small skeletal heads needed to do it, so I never did this last year. This year I see them everywhere and grabbed several bags of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I went to Goodwill looking for an old wedding topper or some other doll that had the same proportions of the skeletal heads. Well good ole Barbie was there for me. Barbie did have her head when I bought her, but I got so excited I ripped it off before I thought about pictures.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hot glue the head on. I would also suggest using E-6000, I just didn't have any at the time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then attach her to a base with hot glue, a random finished piece of wood I found also at Goodwill.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took left over scarps of foam board from the "BOO" letter to make tombstones. And hot glued them as well to the wood.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yjFfy4yVW8A/ToYKt-FCClI/AAAAAAAAA3U/WihrTuA5tdM/s1600/IMG_0331.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kca="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yjFfy4yVW8A/ToYKt-FCClI/AAAAAAAAA3U/WihrTuA5tdM/s320/IMG_0331.JPG" width="289" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted the skeleton to appear coming out of the ground in a graveyard. So I had to build up a dirt mound on her and also in front of the other tombstones. I used wall plaster/caulk to do this. I also applied it to the skeleton and tombstones to give them a rougher texture. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9M70sRTwzfY/ToYK99c-OmI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/YCzjxIPVM48/s1600/IMG_0333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kca="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9M70sRTwzfY/ToYK99c-OmI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/YCzjxIPVM48/s320/IMG_0333.JPG" width="297" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is painting once you let it dry. I had to wait a few days since the wall plaster was so think. I wanted to paint the under layers and build up the paint until I was happy with the look.</div>

I couldn't believe how many there was. Granted I like the concept of the pictures a lot. Yes I called them pin up girls and sexy but it is done in a very conservative way. Sexy can be done without being provocative.<br />

I thought, those look simple but so nice looking, I can do that. I held off on making decorations until I knew I had a place to call it's home. After getting out our fall decorations, I found the place.<br />
I went to my work to check out the letters we had that could fit the bill. The ones we had was about $3-4 a piece that was large enough (not really made to cover up). Then the ones like Jen had in her blog post we had, but they were too small. I wasn't that happy with the letter choices, also I'm kinda broke. I had to take a cheaper route. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I got a large piece of black foam board.... $6?! Yeah I wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't for my coupon. Now the extra work to my project, hand drawing out the letters and cutting them out. <br />

I forgot how hard it was to cut foam board. I had a project in my 3D Design class where we had to make a dog sculpture out of foam board. That was easier since most of the cuts was straight not so curved. Here is a picture of that project. Yeah, that was hours and hours of work.</div>

It is also hard to cut these letters out since our craft room looks like this. Not much room to move around. </div>

Once the letters are cut out then you can do the same as Jen. Wrap the letters with yarn. I chose to do mine as candy corn letters. We have the warm colors in our color palette at our house. So I did one white, orange, and yellow.</div>

It now adorns on top of the dresser in the kitchen. I spent maybe $5 on it. I already had the white and yellow yarn. All I had to do was purchase the foam board and orange yarn. I was able to do one letter a night while watching tv. It's very time consuming but not hard at all. Just sit down with a movie or a night worth of DVR shows and just get to it.</div>

Yesterday I did something crazy. I started a new job and then 6 hours later I quit. I mean it wasn't that bad of a job. I'm just a full-time student, I work at Michaels as a Sales Associate and the Fine Arts Instructor, I'm a substitute teacher, I'm painting a mural for a daycare, and plus I have this blog to manage. For some reason I thought I could handle another job.... I was so wrong. I was a mental stress mess the entire time when I was working, worrying about when will I get my homework done, will I get enough sleep, etc, etc. I had never done anything like this before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my question to you, have you done anything like this? I'm still freaking out that I did this. I hope to hear your stories and maybe they will help me feel better about my crazy decision.</div>

I love making Halloween playlists every year. Most songs travel from list to list every year, but new ones come and old ones go. So I already went thru to see which ones made the cut. This playlist will be played for the rest of the month to be sure. Visual stimuli can't be the only thing to get you in the Halloween spirit, you need to listen too. <br />

Now I need to decide what will I be making this year. As a full-time college student and my part-time hours at Michael's, I don't have the time for large projects or the money. College is expensive, so thank goodness for dollar stores and recycling. So what to make.... what to make...<br />

If not, well its time now. I am jealous of those who can decorate so beautifully and intergrate it with the decor they already have. I will be trying my best this year to decorate more. Until then, here is some halloween home decor that I am jealous of.<br />

It's time for my first giveaway. This first one I will have <strong>two</strong> <strong>winners!</strong> I will be giving away two artworks that I made, inspired from the movie, The Nightmare Before Before Christmas. They are both 11"x14" on canvas. I am foremost a mixed media artist because I like to play in all the mediums. The top picture of Sally is acrylic paint and fabric scraps. The bottom picture of Sally and Jack is acrylic paint and small beads.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most bloggers out there have seen this project in some shape or form, the crayons melting. Like you I was really wanting to try it, but I wanted to try something different with it. I decided I wanted to add wood letters. I use to work at a daycare called the Crayon Club. I thought making this for them would fit so well. I'm still friends with everyone there.</div>

I grabbed different letters to spell Crayon Club. I liked the funky change between fonts and sizes. The choice came because Michael's didn't have all the letter I needed in the same style. I realized that I like it much better any ways. I placed them all in this box to spray paint them. I had leftover paint and it's so much faster.</div>

Next comes the fun part. Blow drying! Place something underneath it. I put it back in the box. First I was a blond and had it on high..... wax was wanting to go everywhere. One color flying away and I had a light bulb moment and realized it needs to go on low.</div>

My trip home was kinda eventful towards the end: couldn't find bathroom in deep fog (looked like a horror movie set up), being pulled over, rain and curvy roads, etc. It's a long story to tell it all and why it was eventful. <br />
<br />
Back from the trip I was so body tired. I've done nothing but go to class, work, and rest at home. Projects have been assigned, I'm working at Michaels all weekend, and I start working at Halloween Express on Monday. Busy... Busy... Busy... I will learn to balance this all and still have 31 Days of Halloween for you!<br />

Myrtle Beach had many weird signs.... I could take a picture of a few. One business was called "Fat Man's Dream: Dogs and Cream" Oh man that is meant to be hot dogs and ice cream but it can easily be perverted. This one building I don't know how they have any business. Oh and make sure you read rule #2 on this parking pass. Really?</div>

Well this is now when I would be giving away a giveaway. But not a since person entered in it. OK I know it wasn't a fantastic giveaway, I'm a poor college student. It's free though, I thought everyone liked free stuff. So come on everyone, don't be chicken on my next few giveaways. </div>

Today me and my sister will be leaving Myrtle Beach and heading back to Kentucky. We have a few unaccomplished tasks to take care of before we leave though. We have to gather sea shells for my nephews and get them something from a store. Also my sister is determined to get her back burned so at least she will be even. She would like to stay an extra day but I have school. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually my fall quarter at Sullivan starts today so I'm already missing one day of classes. I can't do more. With all those things to do in the morning, my sister will be driving long into the night to make sure we get home. I will be sleeping in the car, because I have to go to class tomorrow!</div>

This may be a hectic but vacations keep you sane. So as long as I keep moving forward things will work out.</div>

I had drawer paper from dollar tree that I thought was super cute and just had in my craft room. Even though the drawer will be full and I will probably never see the bottom. Doesn't mean I can't make it look cute.</div>

Once that was done and the hardware was back on, it's finally done! I'm so happy with it. Unfortunately there isn't a home for it in the house yet. We will be going thru our craft room soon to make it look nice. When we do, we will find it a home. It is too cute to stay in our garage now.</div>

Today me and my sister will be heading off on a small road trip. One of her sorority sisters is getting married at a South Carolina beach this weekend. Technically she is one of mine too since we are both alum of Pi Beta Phi. So of course I am going to join her on this little trip. Who doesn't want to go to the beach? I'll be gone until Tuesday, but I have posts scheduled so there will be something new for you while I am gone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this trip I am trying two new things! I decided to knit for the first time on this trip. I get so bored in the car. Plus I easily get car sickness. I am hoping knitting will be a nice thing to entertain my hands while it's my sister's turn to drive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other thing I am trying is my holga camera. I asked for one for Christmas and got it. Well winter was dull so I waited. It got buried in our craft room and I forgot about it. I hope to get some nice pictures with it at the beach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I'm gone though.... </div>

My mother wanted an abstract painting over our couch. Of what, she didn't know. I had picked out a color scheme for this room so it is not mainly brown. My mom approved that so I had an idea of what to kinda use. While I was still thinking though of what to do, I figured I can build up layers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had my friends, Heather and Rachel help me on the first two layers of this, since this is a huge piece. We took wall plaster and scraps of fabric to build up texture. We worked the plaster around with our fingers and combs. After that I wanted to sling some paint, so we did. This paint didn't really make a difference to the piece but it was fun!</div>

I cut out the design and used it as a stencil. As usual of lately, my dog can't seem to get out of the way. He wants to be the center of attention, not my art.</div>

I painted in the background of the design red. Which is my mom's favorite accent color of them all. That way the layer below that comes through the paint just a bit and is completely visible where the tracing paper was. </div>

I really happy with how it turned out, so is my mother. Since this was for her, she doesn't have the last say. Now that we have this up we need to pull the colors from this painting and pull them throughout the rest of the room.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the Gallery Hop the other day I saw many great pieces of art, but there was two paintings in particular that caught my eye. I had to find out who this artist was.</div>
<br />

Her name is Sarah Jane Whitehouse, she is a native of Lexington, KY. Her website is a bit out of date, but has great information about her background and education. <a href="http://www.sjwcasablanca.co.uk/">http://www.sjwcasablanca.co.uk/</a> </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of the pieces I saw at the art show, "A Slumbered Alchemy." Her other one is the first one that intrigued my interest as soon as I walked into the door. But I could not find any images of it to share with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her work is very surrealist and I love how it makes me think. As an artist, I like other artists can push my mind to think. Whether it's how did they make that, what kind of materials did they use, what were they thinking, how did they come up with this, etc? It makes me think on a deeper level of creativity. I believe it can doing nothing but make me improve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both of the pieces can be found at the Topographic Relief exhibit at the Art Place Gallery. On Tuesday, October 18, from 5:30-7:00pm they will have an exhibit reception. The artists should be there that night to talk to people. I hope I can attend so I can ask Sarah some questions. </div>

For two years now I have been trying to attend a <a href="http://www.galleryhoplex.com/">gallery hop in Lexington</a>. There was always a reason why it never worked out though. Work, other plans, no one to go with, etc. Last night things finally came together and it was a great night. </div>

This painting is so amazing of the material. There is very fine black lines when you get close. Also it appears to have a smooth glassy texture, not paint. It was interesting trying to figure out how it was made.</div>

Gallery Hop ending with the sun setting in downtown Lexington. Next one is in November. I think we might be going back to that one. The weather won't be as nice I bet though.</div>

Yesterday kicked out the 2011-2012 season for the <a href="http://www.grandtheatrefrankfort.org/">Grand Theater in Frankfort</a>. This local theater was brought back to life in the past few years. Like with most of our downtown buildings, it was falling apart and not in use. After fundraising and state money for the arts going to the building, I can say it looks very nice. It's nice to hear people working so hard for the arts to bring brought to your town. </div>

Last night for the kick-off they had a Rolling Stones tribute band play, called Satisfaction. I have not seen a tribute band before, so it was something. I know a few Rolling Stones songs (I'm more of a Beatles fan), but I figure it would be still lots of fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I did like two of the band players, the others were ok.... (Sorry about the pictures, all I had was my IPhone and if they any kind of spotlight on them, their bodies became white in the photos.)</div>

The lead singer here was a interesting fellow. It was really weird to watch him. He definitely thought he was much cooler than he was with his awkward dance/movements. My dad who was with me, had to cover his eyes a lot of the time because it bugged him so bad. His singing was ok.</div>

The drum player could play but he was the only one who did not look the part. His hair slicked back and a polo shirt and slacks, he could have been coaching football. I'm guessing he had no time to get ready after his day job. </div>

The bass player NEVER DID SMILE, not once! He had a stern look. I liked when he sung, because he didn't look pissed at least. He had a Beatles look going on though.</div>

Now these are the two guys I liked, the guitarists! They both had a very natural air to them, they didn't have to try too hard. The guy on the left was too cool to care about others. He was an amazing player too. The funky guy on the right was my dad's favorite. He was the one up there enjoying himself and ran the band. He could sing and be goofy... plus I think he's a pot head. Not that it's a good thing, just he was a real hippie. He could have sung the whole night and dropped the lead singer.</div>
