It really has, hasnt it? We are finally moved into our new home. We love it here,its so much better than our previous locations AND I am back to health thank goodness. I really am thankful to all of my friends who kept us in your prayers over the last month.I dont know what I would do without all of you (you know who you are!)
We actually adopted a new furbaby during our move :) We were in the mists of transfering a few items when we stopped by the cable company to arrange things at our new home and low-and-behold the cutest little black kitten came out of hiding and jumped right into my lap whileI was waiting in the car for Tim. He purred and layed in my lap the entire way home, made not one sound.He was really thin and had fleas really badly so it was obvious that the little guy was fending for himself outside all alone. Anyone who know's me knows that I am a sucker for animals and will do anything to help one in need. So we went to grooming him and feeding him as well as we could, we treated him for fleas and actually round worms/parasites since he was outdoors and now he's a part of our family. We named him Raven.... at first it was Midnight but I thought it was such a common name and we are so close to Halloween (which is so very odd because Honey's (our dogs) birthday is October 31st) that I decided Raven would suit him :)He is a really loving kitty, and he loves our other furbabies. He really gets along with everyone... He's doing a lot better now and has gained quite a bit of weight :)
Here is a picture of the little guy huddled up in a blanket his first night home after his bath :)

I would have been online alot sooner if it wasnt for our crazy telephone company! It took them 2 weeks to pencil us in to their schedule and get everything installed and fixed for us *sighs* But while I was offline I did work on a few items.
I created 2 Gothic Arches, actually the firsts that I have ever made...
This was my first attempt to make a halloween themed one. I was happy with the way it turned out in some ways but not so much with the glass effect on the actual main image. It really doesnt show up well in a photo w/ all of the glaring and everything. I used handmade paper with a fork technique I created and a few stamps and tearing... its simple but I thought it turned out ok.
My second attempt at a Halloween theme turned out much better... this was for a swap in the yahoogroup ArtJunction....

My friend Indi sent me some really nice halloween images and this was one of my favorite's of the set. I spritzed the base of the arch with black and purple acrylics and then placed the image in the center, I then took a few inchie stamped faces and spritzes them with purple and black acrylic using my mini-misters and attached them. I used black ribbons of the 3 corners, and stamped 'They all return on Halloween' for a creepy little quote effect... I thought it turned out nicely its my favorite Halloween creation so far and I think the final one of the season :)
Other than these creations and 3 new pieces added to my shop Altered Whimsey I havent really created much new... but I think for the time I have been away that I did well with all the moving and everything. I will say that Im glad to be settled and hope to start creating more soon! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
