MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

On this magical Christmas Eve, I want to take a moment to say Merry Christmas to you and yours! May you have all the love, warmth, happiness, joy, laughter and strength you need on this wonderful night.  Take the time to give everyone positivity, love, and hugs today as memories are made on special days like today. 

Plus it keeps you off of Santa's naughty list ; )  

NEW for November on the PFATT Marketplace...

Well, I decided to try something a little different this month.  I don't often have a chance to make a large Christmas piece, but I have recently become full of the Christmas Spirit and felt 

the need to sculpt this piece.  

It is 12 1/2 inches tall and about 7 1/2 inches wide. 

Each little elf was sculpted separately and each little wool felt coat was tailored to fit each one individually.  It was so much fun to make! 

My son named this piece for me.  He said it looked like Cirque Du Snow'leil.

I thought it was clever and kept it.

This piece will be available on the PFATT Marketplace tomorrow, Nov. 10th.  The update happens at 10 AM Pacific time, Noon Central, 1 PM Eastern. 

Just click here to go there http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/anaboocreations.html

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day!

Sylvia

Happy Halloween Blog Party and GIVEAWAY!!!

Hello Dear Friends, 

I had planned to share a big Halloween Party with you that was going to take place here in my home. But Alas, my chill has spread to my little pumpkin children and we need to stay warm and cozy so that we are bright eyed and healthy for All Hallow's Eve. 

However, I certainly will not miss this Halloween blog event. So I thought, what better Halloween Party is there to share than Ghoultide Gathering!  I have not had a chance to post photos yet, so today, I will share the biggest Artful Halloween Party there is! 

I have been fortunate enough to attend this gathering the last three years and each year it gets better and better! 

So come with me and I will be your tour guide to this magical event. 

But first, I want to offer you a special treat. After all, a Halloween Party is not a Party without a treat. 

This year's treat is a special one of a kind ornament that YOU can WIN!

I created this little baby punkin especially for this event.  She is one of a kind and she could be yours.
Details at the end of the post.

For those ready to begin the journey climb into this giant pumpkin blossom.  Come on!  Follow me.

Slide all the way down until you land in the most magical place you will ever experience, Ghoultide Gathering!

Please Be careful on landing.  We don't want to wake the tombstones.  They can be quite grumpy if woken prematurely. But don't mind them, there are so many more friendly faces than grumpy faces here. 

Wait, here is a couple of really nice guys!

 Excuse me dear Sir, could you remind me where we should go to join the party?

Oh Yes, Here we go. Let's all line up to get our tickets to the FUN!

OK. Does everyone have their ticket? Yes, well wonderful lets get in line to see all the goodies. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm sooo excited!!! 

Oh boy which line do we get in first!

Can you hear the lovely Folky music, the young gentleman on the far right hidden by the corn stalks was playing an old tin bucket!

Evil One - by the Appleseed Collective
So now that you know what it sounds like at Ghoultide Gathering let me tell you how it smells...It is a wonderful mix of Hot apple cider, Hot chocolate, Kettle corn, pumpkin fudge and little mini chocolate cupcakes with little jack-o-lanterns made out of yummy frosting. Yumm!
This is a Party for all of your senses!
Next your sense of sight will be tantalized with all the magic and mystery that the Ghoulies use to create their magical pieces.
First up some gorgeous works by Scott Smith.
