okay, i finally got a before picture of megantron's picture on the computer!  here it is:



has lots of potential, yes?  i'm going to start working on it this week! 

woohoo i got my album from xmelinda!!  <last week, but i've been busy, sorry!> anyway, here are my 2 favorite pictures from it:

i think it's hilarious that even your fire hydrants have school spirit!


and a blue rhino truck (very close to the hippo family but not enough to scare me!)


sorry they're a little blurry, i was being lazy and just took a picture of them instead of scanning them.    anyway, thanks so much xmelinda!! 

yay jadey_mcshadey got her package!!    i was hoping it wouldn't get lost!  and she said i could go ahead and post pics so here we go:

first a charm bracelet w/ death's symbol on it:

a dream/death bookmark (sorry these pics didn't turn out very good):



next a delirium inspired tote bag:

close up of all the fun buttons and the fabric:

and, my favorite (i hope you really liked it jadey!), a Death doll: 

closeup of her face:


i got TONS of weird looks at work <i did her hair during my lunch hours> when i told them what i was making, but after i showed them pics of the real Death and my finished product, they really liked her.

okay, i got pictures taken!!  are you ready?  yeah....so i realized that if i put all the pics that i took on here, it would seriously overrun the page.  so i'm going to put a few of my faves and you can go view the rest here: http://photobucket.com/albums/v412/kendaljay/Wild%20Things/ (feel free to look thru the rest of my albums if you want) sorry about the shadows and the ugly linoleum; i was taking them in the kitchen!
so here is the front cover and the spine.  she put a window inside the front cover (that opens and closes which my sister pointed out to me!)


and the first 2 pages, she used stamps, ribbons, tags, pull out pages and all kinds of fun stuff on the pages!

the middle pages are about Maurice Sendak, the author.  btw...i did not know that he did another book with Max!  now i have to go find it!

a close up of the pockets that contain.....lesson plans for when i have my own classroom!!    and these pages where sewn together and then had cool beads weaved throughout

the last pages with another cutout and a cool sun charm inside the little window


okay...go to the above link for more great pictures!  i am so in love with this book....you have no idea!  i'm a wee bit obsessed with Wild Things.  to give you an idea, here is a small list of Wild Things "stuff" i have:
a full set of the monsters & Max statues, a monster puppet, a small max doll/stuffy and monster, a journal, the wild things stamp, the book in hardbound and 2 in paperback, hmm...i know there's more.  anyway, thank you so much Grasshopper's MOM!!! 

oohh...cute journal fadeawaydream!  great job monfrere!

Does anyone think there will be a round two to this one?

i'm sure there will be...this one has been loads of fun!!

and i got pics up finally of the stuff i sent to emmyliz...so here we go:
she had 2 books:  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (about a town where it rains food) and The Facts and Fictions of Mina Pratt (a young girl who loves music)
first an overview of the whole packie

next the bagel mobile with forks and spoons.   

and the hamburger tote that I sewed MYSELF!!! <my first time> the inside is the hamburger print all over

a charm bracelet with musical instruments

a bookmark with 2 of Mozart's pieces on each side

and a journal made from a sheet music notebook (the guys at the music store already think i'm weird for buying 52 guitar picks at a time, now they just think i'm insane for buying sheet music: "what kind do you need, guitar, piano?"  me: "it doesn't matter".  "oookay" 




have you ever noticed that you take more pics of the stuff you send?  hmm...well i'm about to take pics of my fantabulous book from grasshopper's mom and there will be TONS!!
