Life has been a bit mad lately. I honestly felt like Alice falling into the rabbit's hole- my journey has been a bit more hellish. Yes, there was tea involved, gloves and Vanilla mint cookies. I was working on an art challenge and became a bit obsessed-I prefer driven.
Yes, we have struggled with Ninja Chiggers-dreadful mites that live outdoors. They love to cling to your wrists and ankles. I won't go into the horrid details-but let's just say I have been cleaning everything like a Mad Hatter. I have washed everything with hot water and those items one can't-well I tossed those out on the deck to freeze. I did see Peter the other night scurrying off in the leaves. Sorry Peter dear, the tender hearts you love are bitten with white frost. I will plant you new treats, next spring.

I was working on art to submit to Somerset Memories.
The challenge is to create art and 'Think Outside the Book'. I decided to make art which reflected Emily Dickinson's poetry. 
Yes, her hands are pencils!
I also created some art with reflection. She became a recluse-her view of the world was through panes of glass. Did she retreat because of pain? Perhaps she was ill or weary due to a broken heart? Sad...
Another project-yes, see gloves!
A future wedding memento for my daughter. You know plenty of somethings.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence for your shoe." When you submit to the magazine-sometimes you will be published for your mail art or the way you wrap your submissions. Yes, it kinda of felt like a birthday, wedding and tea party at my home.
Yes, I am pouring tea, my Mad Hatter duties are to be continued...

I guarantee Ninjas had nothing to do with chiggers though. At least not this Ninja...
Alex-Yes, Mary Ann wish is helping and so would some Ninjabread cookies-lol They were tough-another neighbor had them. They can survive three days off the body-so you have to wash, everything you get near. Pillows, coats, bedding, your clothes and that Ninja suit-*smiles*
Mary Ann-Thank you! I think a freeze would help ;D You are kind~
Createology-Thank you! One never knows-You are too kind and I am cautious of all potions ;D You are cute!
xo
Abby
Love your creations. Wishing you success!
Love all Eleanor Roosevelt quotes! She was an amazing woman!
Yes, the trick is to keep washing-those bugs can live on your clothing, bedding, pillows for three days and re-infest...ick!
Thank you!
black capri's for this time of year?!
I just got back and will comment...
Thank you!
Hi Abby-Yes, why not?! Thank you! She wore a white prom dress last year and it got me thinking~ I remember my cousins always talking about a hope chest. We could start a memory one, for them! ;D You are welcome-I am not in any hurry for this to happen!
Sherry-Yes, I might change the locks-lol! No, he knows the drill now! I don't think they live where you are-they like this humid, southern air. Honestly this experience has made me want to MOVE back to the snow country! Are you the White Queen?! ;D One never knows what they are competing against-?! I really have no idea, but thank you so much!
Brian-Thank you! Yes, I was reading you can go to the doctor and get this special cream! Things are getting better-thank you~
