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

  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!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
