Play Dead



Ok.. so I guess I wasn't done being excited for Halloween after all... I got this idea partially from a nightmare I had when I was a child, where my favorite teddy bear came to life and was chasing me. Also I was talking to my sister in law about cute skull barrettes she had seen online, and it kind of got the wheels turning... so I came up with this idea, and I think I'm going to make a series out of it, called "Toybox Horrors".. I'll definitely be adding to the series every Halloween.. but I do often get the urge during the year to go to my dark side and let my imagination run wild.. so I'll probably be adding to it more than once a year!

Well on a personal note.., I've recently been feeling a whole lot better, I was suffering quite badly since last spring with very bad heartburn... not just regular heartburn, but everyday heartburn,which bothered me almost 24/7. I went to the doctor, was put on several different meds... then sent for a stomach x-ray.. they couldn't find anything. So I decided to completely change the way I eat... I cut out almost ALL the sweets in my diet (this was particularly hard for me since I have a sweet tooth the size of Mount Everest).... but I've been feeling so good since I changed my diet! I've hopefully also solved my jaw problem... I just got back from the dentist.. I got one of those mouth guards for at night... and hopefully that will get rid of the horrible clicking when I chew, and the headaches I've been getting.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's been buying paintings, prints and necklaces from my website.. I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. The support from everyone is so appreciated!!
Special thanks to my friend Kelliena, she just purchased my original painting "Spring Fairy".
Kelliena is a great friend and she's also a gifted Psychic, she does readings at several places in Halifax,NS you can go to her website to see where she's reading on any given day (she also does phone readings). I'm an addict to her website, she has free daily horoscopes.. I check them every day :)

Well, I'm gonna spend a few more minutes tonight working on a new sketch... hopefully I'll be starting painting it tomorrow.
