Inspiration Avenue Challenge-Trick or Treat?

I couldn't resist the Halloween aspect of the challenge this week.  I created an adult version of a Halloween party with three lovely trick-or-treaters.  I had loads of fun creating these beauties.  You might want to look at the large version.  There are some details you might miss otherwise.

Inspiration Avenue Challenge-Seasons

Diane challenged us this week with creating an image about our favorite season.  I've always loved autumn.   Growing up in the midwest and living in New England for a couple of years showed me autumn's true potential.  Since living in Southern California for the past 22 years, I haven't been able to experience what I think of as a true fall.  Still, I love the brief glimpses of leaves changing color.   I guess it's a compromise living here with pseudo fall but the benefit is that I do have a tangerine tree.    Once spring comes and I catch the whiff of orange blossoms in the wind I'll forget all about autumn.

Collage Obsessions Challenge-Witches

The Collage Obsessions challenge this week is Witches.  I just happened to have this wonderful photo that I had turned into a group of 4 witches.  When I created it, I had so much fun playing with the images, fiddling around with the hats, and trying to capture that "Altered Art" mood I've seen in so many fun pictures.  See the other entries here

By the way, our Etsy team, Inspiration Avenue, is looking to recruit new members.

Pink Again?

I've started working on a set of prayer cards.  This fits right in with the "31 Days of Pink" theme which was created to draw attention to the need for a cure to breast cancer.

31 Days of Pink-Breast Cancer Awareness

Men should be delighted that they don't need annual mammograms.   

Do you think they know how lucky they are?  

I found this on Flickr in WackyStuff's photostream here.

But seriously, I had my mammogram and got an "all clear" notice.  

Have you had yours?  If not, talk to your doctor.
