Tim Inspired Tags - Late but not forgotten

Ladies sorry I am sooooo late posting Aug tags. Having no laptop at present has me at a loss at times.
We had 2 tags for August Thank You Maura and Janice for taking the time to make them. 

I myself didn't even get to play in August or Sept. not sure where the months went but before I knew it, it was over and Oct. 1st was here.  But the past 2 months have been so much fun. Early in
 August I went to Ink About it in Westford Mass for a class with Wendy Vecchi, attended several local crops with good friends. and spent a couple different days shopping with either my sister, my niece and/or friends.  Sept was just as busy with crops, family,  my beautiful great niece Kaila's Sweet 16 Party,  traveling to Mystic Ct.  for the 1st Artology New England Retreat (4 days)  which was fantastic I will post pictures of that week end and what we learned from Cheryl Mezzetti soon.  I was home for 3 days  before I left for a 4-day crop on Cape Cod with Cool Crops, which was another fun filled weekend.  But wait...lol...I am not done I leave again on the 18th for another 2 days of classes with Dyan Reavely at Absolutely Everything in Topsfield, Ma., and since I will be so close to Salem, Ma. and it's so close to Halloween how could I not take an extra day to visit there since we all know what my favorite Holiday is...,  November brings another 3 day crop weekend only closer to home in Latham, NY with so many of my friends I can't wait to see them. OK, I know enough about my adventures...here are the 2 tags swapped in August...

 Janice's Tag

Maura's Tag

 

Again ladies thanks for taking the time out to make these tags.   And just a reminder that there's still time to make Octobers Tag and just because you didn't play previous months you can still play this month or any month you choose.

Update on Art Night

Hi ladies, just wanted to give you a update on Art Night.
I have not forgotten about it and do plan to get it organized and started.
It's just that when I sat down with my calendar, like many of us,
I didn't know where I could fit it in with everything thing else I have going
on over the next couple of months,  and with the holiday season approaching.

So with that being said, The new time frame to start this venture will be in January.
We can talk more about it at the gathering on Oct. 25.  I hope to see you there.

Janice's Gratitude Swap

your thankfulness for the abundance we all share. Due Saturday,

2013 Halloween Gathering

Bubble, blubber, squirm and gloop,
Boiling broth of bat's tail soup.
Wobble, slobber, liquid goo,
Add the sole of one old shoe.
Spooky shadows dance around,
Of frogs and rats and snarling hounds.
Steam swirls rising to the roof,
Add one small ear and one old tooth.
Gnarly, scratchy, tickle and itch,
Stir round and round to make it rich.
Mushy, sticky, sizzle and stew,
This Halloween’s Gathering just for you

My not so Fairy Witch Jar

Thank you Lori and Maura for hosting the Art Gathering Friday night. I think I speak for all there we had a fab time. I so enjoyed the project you had planned for us. And a special thank you to you both for the Witch fairies and ceramic cat on the pumpkin they just made my night.

Here's a couple pictures of what I made, I hope everyone will post theirs too.

The not so scary, scary pumpkin

Hi ladies; Again sorry about not getting to see you all Yesterday, but today I printed out the directions for the fairy lite and am looking forward to making mine. I will be in the hospital Tuesday for blood work and then again Friday for an IV. Wed and Thursday if all is well I could meet someone to pick up my clock as I would love to alter one please let me know day and time. Again I am very sorry but If I must take pain meds I cannot drive. So hear from someone soon Much Love Donna

Christmas in August

Due to several requests [mine included] I have postponed the August ornament swap which was due to me by August 15th.  Ornaments will now be due to me by September 10th.  If you want to send them to me earlier that will be fine - but I will not exchange them until after the 10th of September.  If you need my address or any other info on this exchange you may either call me or email me at franpascazio@gmail.com.  I hope this gives many of you an opportunity to particiapte!  Enjoy the remaining days before Labor Day/Summer!!!
