Cover Girl....

A while back I told y'all that I had sent a doll to Cloth Paper Scissors and they said they were interested in her? Well looky looky ....



Isn't it WONDERFUL???!!!
I was speechless..but only for a nano second, then I emailed some of my friends and family. My run of bad luck is just a distant memory.....:)

I had to show you what a sweet thing my dh did, he came home with this beautiful bouquet of flowers for me , to celebrate my doll being on the cover of the magazine!!!He also brought me some crullers along with other yummy sweets
that I really didn't need but LOVED ... notice the past tense?!!!!:)

What would you do......

What could you do? When a couple of cute little boys turn two?
Welllllll....I would throw a FANTABULOUS, FANTASTICAL,BIG BIRTHDAY BASH, if I had lots and lots of free cash... I would order 3 cakes, cause I DO NOT bake, I'd fill up some jars with gumdrops and gumball and steak?...No No NO!!!A Ginormous big cake with the fish in a bowl and thing one and thing two, I think that should do, don't you?!!!!




But I'd have cookies and sweet drinks and candies GALORE and maybe some more!!!








Next a gigantical pool, filled with big colored balls in red and yellow and blue!!!
And still so much left we could do!!!?




Even a big blow up place to bump in and jump in at once, down and up ,up and down,
till the train came around.


It would be scarey with just me and you, but mommy and daddy would ride with us too!!!





And when that was done, we'd filled up our bellies with YUMMY GOOD cake, we'll open the presents and play a bit more!! Till your mommy and daddy say "Time to go home , this way to the door !!"















So we'll collect all our stuff, with goodies in hand, as we head out the door to our car... we'll all turn to say "We will never forget, all the fun that we had at the best birthday party by far!!"....





My Adorable twin grandies celebrated their 2nd birthday with a Dr. Seuss themed party
that their mom, my crafty and talented daughter, thought up and created ALL by her lonesome!!!!I was so proud and very in awe of her!!! Here she is with Jason her husband.

Shhhhh...it's a surprize....

The witching hour....

is nigh!!!! This is one of my new doll busts for SpookyTimeJingles 13th update,she is #3 in my "Little Witches " series.


The weather is cold and wet outside, everyone's wearing long sleeves and light sweaters at 60 degrees, Autumn is in the air!! It almost feels as if Halloween is just around the corner too and it really is? Too bad we can't have more of this cool stuff...
This one is called " Bleeding Heart "



"Bleeding Heart"

Under a blanket of night you sleep,
In that dark so cold and deep.
My Bleeding heart will have to keep.
So sleep my sweet, till next we meet.

she is the Baby Vampire I had been working on. I think she came out looking so
other worldy, but not too creepy...
I have a few more new pieces there for y'all to look at...So if you want to get the best that Spookytimejingles has to offer, You have to be first in line to pick and choice from our wondrous coffer!!! ...Why would you be late anyway??

Blessings,Flora

Head ,Fingers...

nose and toes....Getting my updates ready and wanted to show a new baby vampire that I'm almost finished with





These are the only wips I have of her, she's made of Apoxie Sculpt, I'm still not too sure of that medium. I like/need a lot of time when to do "do overs" and this stuff doesn't really give me that. Linda " The Gourd Queen" uses it all the time and I really don't know how she does it, so I figured I'd start small. I did use it another time for these two below and again the time constraints always throw me off!!





Don't forget to mark your calendar for the SpookyTimeJingles update coming up on the 13th!!
blessings,Flora

Onward and Upward....

This is so much more pleasing to the eye, dontcha think?









I've been avoiding the blogging stuff due to being so busy and my ankle is healing very nicely I might add. I got real mobile with my mom's rolling walker, I'm sure I looked like that bulldog on the skate board in the floor commercials, cause it was easier to put my busted leg on the seat and just roll....
Anywho, I can walk so much better and Josie, guess what NO unsightly BUMP!!!!YAY

Blessings,Flora

Open letter to the universe....

Dear Universe,remember the conversation we had the other night? The one where I said
" I'm ready for whatever you have to give me?" UH ,can I rephrase that, because
I meant the "GOOD STUFF"....
I feel like I'm walking around with a bit of a dark cloud,I don't mean to harp on
this issue because for the most part I'm a lucky girl!!!!
So why am I feeling this way you ask?
Well for starters I came down with a staph infection that had to be excised in the doctors office, ( FUN STUFF ) then packed every night at home ( MORE FUN STUFF)#1
My computer crashed, #2
I have had a bad earache for the last 4 days#3
And the lastest just happened today #4
See the lovely little egg growing from my ankle?



I was getting ready to go see my mom,when low and behold I stepped wrong and fell.I remembered hearing a loud cracking sound as my ankle twisted underneath the weight of my body... I was more in shock than in pain,as I sat there in a bit of a daze.
I was able to get up with some help, so I thought hey I'm ok, afterall I am a lucky girl!!!?
So I'm in the car for the hr drive to mom's home and I'm having discomfort, I look down and see this bump,awww S**T!! I thought bad luck was supposed to come in 3's?? So who's the wise guy who changed the d*** rules and why wasn't I told about it, HUH!!....?

Blessings,Flora

You can't keep me...

down too long, but it sure as heck felt like it!! Anywho here are some of my latest pure sculpt offerings at SpookyTimeJingles for the 13th update

Kris Kringle


Does He know?

Down the chimney passed the flue

nearer to the tree he drew.

Quickly, back to bed I go!!

Heart pounding, does he know?

By the stairs, I sneaked a peek,

the smiling face, the ear he tweaked.

‘Neath the Christmas tree I see,

many presents left for me!!

Griffin



"Griffin the Goblin"



The doorbells will ring though out the night,

Someone will answer then scream with fright!

Griffin the goblin laughs with delight,

While making his way to the next house in sight!

Now I can get back to nursing this earache as I hum "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all"!! I really shouldn't complain but lately it just seems like one of those " when it rains it pours " kinda times, yeah,yeah I know, cry me a river....
Okay then,
Remember there's no better place to be than at Spookytimejingles for some special and yummy delights with it's oh so deliciously frightful sights!!! SEE YA THERE!!!?

And here ya go...









I had to redo the fat legs because I tried to use the last of my " sculpt it" clay and it behaved badly , so off with his legs, I added thinner shapelier ones.
I like them better.

Blessings,Flora

What a fine mess...

I've gotten myself into!!!! My computer finally crashed and I don't think there is anyway to bring it back to working order, so I'm using my laptop to get the basics
done. It seems like if it's not one thing it's another lately...I'm not sure if I'll be able to upload my SpookyTimeJingles dolls in time for the Sept. update.
Wish me luck...

Blessings,Flora

I have to share!!!!!

One of my most favorite customers sent me this email after seeing my " Red " , Dana was the one who inspired /challenged me to create her. She's good for what ails ya and then some!!! Just look at what she said:


Now, let me tell you I just almost gave my poor Marty a heart attack, screaming for him to come quick. I was looking on your site whilst at the computer with email and such. (It's so wonderful to have had only one case today and a little down time!)
Any way, you know what I saw, you little stinker. I was practically having to do the old paper bag trick to stop my hyper ventilating and Marty was standing over me going "What!? What!?" while all I could do was point at the monitor with a big stupid grin before I was finally able to squeak out, "That's my Red!!!!!" (She is my Red, isn't she?!?!) Dibs, dibs, dibs, dibs, dibs!!!!! Simply Red - PERFECT!

FLORA!! I love her already. She's beautiful even in her naked clayness. That lip between her teeth and the cut of her eyes gave me goosebumps! I already see her voluptuous, seductive wickedness. Rufus C. (the C stands for Canis of course) Lupus will definitely howl for the spells she will put him under and enjoy every wavering note! (I have to admit he and I have been doing a happy dance around the library).

BRAVO! BRAVO! I'm on my feet, this is a standing ovation! You my friend leave me speechless, and believe me, ask anybody who knows me, it's not an easy feat. I am awstruck by the talent within your creative mind and the hands with the ability to make your visions live right before the eyes of your wondering audience. You my dear must have one of the original Greek muses occupying your soul. It is my pleasure and my eternal delight to have had theprovidence to meet you and the honor to own some of your creations. Pick up your roses, Flora, they have showered your stage!

I'm a fan! I'm a groupie! I'm an acolyte!
Dana

Sweetie you are one of the reasons I love what I do....
