Liquid Death, a Skeleton, and Some ATCs

Do you ever fall for super creative marketing?

I couldn't resist buyigg this Sparkling Water after seeing the name and the image on the can.

This water is almost as expensive as beer, but it is soooooo cool.  

Even the wording on the can is cool - here is a little bit of it:

"This infinitely recyclable can of stone-cold sparkling water came straight from the Alps to murder your thirst."

"Once cracked open, no thirst is safe from Liquid Death."

Love it!  It is also my ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog.

I plan to serve this water at our family Halloween party.  We are going to do a skeleton charcuterie  board too.  We bought a cool skelton at Target to fill with candy and treats on our board  The Grandsons all loved it, and one of them strapped him the car seat for the ride home?


I am still on an ATC kick.  Here are three versions I did for a multi-level Back to School Swap - I signed up for three diffeent ones.

1.  The top one is a book cover theme  - we were supposed to come up with an ATC that looks like an old fashioned book cover.  I had a lot of fun with that one.  I kept this as it wa my favorite. 

2.  The left one was for a cool kid/nerdy kid  theme.  I used a book page, part of a sheet music page, a TH paper doll, some bright ink, and a fun title. 

3.  The right one was for a swap focusing on school supplies.  I kept this one because it was so cute with the mouse but also because it ddn't have a school supply other than the library card. I had intended to add  pencil image, but coudn't seem to find it.  

Happy T-day!  

Hugz,

Nancy

  8. That is a cool design for a can of water, and I love the pic of the skeleton buckled in safely for the ride home:):) Fab looking ATCs! I used to do lots of swaps over many years and really enjoyed it but have given it up. Enjoy the Halloween fun and happy T day!

  12. I am late visiting because my electricity was out from shortly before 5:00 p.m. last night for around 19 hours. My apologies if you think I had forgotten or was ignoring you.

    I love those ATCs. You are definitely on an ATC kick.

    I look forward to seeing your Halloween party. That skeleton will surely liven up the place. And that sparkling water was to die for!! I can see why you will be serving it for drinks at the Halloween party. Thanks for sharing your ATCs and your sparkling water with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

  13. That is one cool can of water. The name is perfect for Halloween. And it is perfect for an October T post. Your grandson is adorable too. I like his idea to strap in the skeleton. And fabulous ATC's also. Hope it was a wonderful T day Nancy. Hugs-Erika

  16. Ohh I am with you I would buy the water for the can. Very cool. Love the car partner all strapped. The art is just beautiful.

  17. What a cool way to market their sparkling water! Your ATCs are wonderful. I like the variety.

  18. That's a clever bit of marketing. You are actually just paying for the can (as water doesn't cost anything). But I can see it is fun.
    Your ATCs are beautiful. No wonder you want to keep them yourself!
    Sorry I'm late but as you regulars know, we are away on Tuesday, and today we had a power cut so I'm even later (It's nine pm)
    A belated happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  20. How cool is the water and the can…love it and also the skeleton. Love how your DGS strapped him in the car. I bet it will look fantastic on the board for Halloween. I love all of the ATCs. The fish one does look like leather. Happy Tuesday Nancy. Sending hugs. Jx

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!
It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
