Features, giveaways, & more

Last week, a friend of mine told me some AWESOME news. They found one of our ripped out eyeballs listed in a gift guide on FearNet. Not sure if any of you have ever heard of this website, but it's kinda like a horror site. I think they are trying to get their own TV channel too. Talk about a happy girl when I found out all of that. We ended up having two sales that day & another one the next day. I'm not sure how they came across us, but I'm very happy they did :D

In other news, I won a giveaway a few weeks ago (I know I'm late on posting about it :P ). It was a giveaway for a adjustable wire wrapped ring from melted1. I chose a purple color & it's very pretty. Speaking of giveaways, I've updated my giveaway section. If you have a giveaway or know of one, let me know & I'll add it to my list (& may even enter ;) ).

For all of you Dr.Pepper lovers (like myself), I cam across a recipe my brother gave me last year. It's called Dr. Pepper Cheese Ball & you can find out how to make it on my food blog. I'm thinking about making it for Christmas this year :)

Help....

Last night I sat down & made 2 Jack Skellington Christmas ornaments. If you don't know, I LOVE Jack Skellington. Well I didn't paint it white & now I'm beginning to wonder if I should have. Below are photos of the ornaments. Should I have painted them white first or do they look okay the way they are?

On another note, I found Midnight in my tree. She is worse than a child when it comes to the Christmas tree, lol. Also, miss Calli has be found laying under the tree. Every time I look, she's sleeping under it. I call her my Christmas tree cat :D

The Weekend & Christmas

Good morning! How is every one in blog land today? This is the earliest I have EVER written a blog, ha. But I just can't get back to sleep (it's 10:10am & I was up around 8am). This weekend has been a interesting one. Friday I was sick with the flu. That was no fun. I went out & bought some *nasty* Theroflu (the kind you drink). I had to chase it down with another drink. I had a MASSIVE headache & terrible body aches, along with a unfriendly fever. After one pack of Theroflu, the headache eased up just a little. I laid down on the couch to take a nap, only to end up freezing (& it wasn't even cold in here). I had three blankets & a sweat shirt. I could feel my body heat, so I knew that wasn't good when I was still cold. I finally managed to force my self to take another pack of Theroflu (way after the 4 hour mark). That pack was the last pack I took. I went to bed shortly after, only to wake up in a sweat in the middle of the night. I knew the fever had finally broken. When I finally woke up, the body aches were gone, & so was the fever. My ears still felt a lil stopped up, but as of today, I am FLU FREE. Thank God! That mess sucks big time. All I have now is a little cough & a little runny nose. Other than that, I feel wonderful :) The hubby got sick as well, but I don't think he had it as bad as I did. He took Theroflu too & is almost 100% better as well. Theroflu may taste nasty, but it works wonders.

Getting better isn't all the good news I have. Yesterday, we finally got the Halloween decor down & put up Christmas. Yes, already. I like to make it worth while instead of only having it up three weeks. I even got the tree up & lighted, after having a battle with Midnight (the kitten) that is. However, I discovered this morning that Calli (our other cat) may just be our Christmas cat. I found her sound asleep under the tree this morning, lol. I'll post outside photos later. It's kinda cold out & I'm kinda warm & cozy :D

Also, two more costume contests have started for voting. You can find them up above the giveaway section up top.

Last, but not least of the good news, Black Water FX (our shop) has now opened a Christmas section. I have to finish up painting the items (hopefully today), then I can post 'em up in the shop :)

Now that I'm done chit-chatting, how was your weekend? Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Speaking of Christmas, should I decor my blog for Christmas, or is it too early?
