Doing combat with a cardboard tank

The fun you can have with some cardboard and duct tape.
Take, for instance this weekend, around 6 p.m., William looks over at me and says what if I made Vincent a tank out of cardboard? Now, there is something you need to know about my husband, whenever he decides to build something it turns out to be this huge production. I said sure but you'll need to get it finish before Vincen't bedtime, which is around 7:30p.m.

The pumpkin whisperer...

that I am not.

I really am not a good pumpkin carver. I don't like the smell. I do like pumpkin pie, but not the pumpkin itself.

Here's a sneak peek at the pumpkin that wil be in Saturday's Flipside Weekend section. We are having a pumpkin carving contest, so check out this Saturday's paper for all the details.

Dollhouse update

Here's, the most recent picture of my dream dollhouse...

It sits in my kitchen because it's the only room in my house that is big enough for the construction to get finished.

Building my dream house...

Ok, it's a dollhouse, but it's still my dream to build it.

Intial construction started a year ago. I purchased the dollhouse kit from a local couple, who still were working on another dollhouse for their daughter.

Here's the front of the dollhouse in an early phase.

This is the back/inside.

Here, I installed the windows to the front of the dollhouse.

Here is one of the end units.

Hopefully, this is what it will look like when it's finished.

Cute and fuzzy...

I told you I'm a lover of all things cute and fuzzy. Especially these cute and cuddly creations by my co-worker/friend Tracey. (She's the other artist in the Graphics Department)
