Halloween Tissue Box

MY COWORKER INSISTED THAT I USE HER

FABULOUSLY FESTIVE TISSUE BOX ALL DAY

TODAY, AND I AGREE, TISSUES WORK BETTER WHEN

THEY COME OUT OF A STRIKING BOX LIKE THIS.

IT'S HOLOGRAPHIC BUT THE PICTURES I TOOK

DIDN'T CAPTURE THE SECOND IMAGE WELL.

SO I TOOK A SHORT FILM OF IT BELOW-

FILMING A TISSUE BOX PERLANA?!  REALLY?!

 

YES.  THIS IS WHAT I DO.

Lego Man Costume

FOR HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR I WAS GOING TO GO
AS A BOX OF SALT TO ERNIE'S SNAIL BUT I CHANGED
MY MIND AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DECIDED TO PAIR
UP WITH GALEN INSTEAD.  HE HAD GRAND IDEAS....

THE ORIGINAL IDEA SKETCH

WE MADE THE HEADS OUT OF TWO DOLLAR STORE 

LAUNDRY BASKETS (PER HEAD) AND THICK PAPER .  THE 

TOP IS A PVC CIRCLE WE  FOUND AT HOME DEPOT AND 

GLUED ON.  LOTS OF YELLOW DUCT TAPE AND SPRAY PAINT.

READY FOR FACES!!!

WE STARTED BY FREEHAND DRAWING THE

FACES BUT EVENTUALLY WENT TO TRACING

THEM OFF OF A PRINTED OUT VERSION.

WE DECIDED THE STANDARD SMILEY DIDN'T HAVE

ENOUGH BLACK TO SEE OUT OF WELL ENOUGH.

LOOKING GOOD, BUT WE WANTED THEM PERFECT.

 NEXT WE DID THE HANDS-

ALSO MADE OUT OF PVC AND YELLOW PAINT.

GALEN DEFINITELY SPEARHEADED THIS PART OF
THE OPERATION.  PERLANA AND POWER SAWS...
I THINK I CAN END THAT SENTENCE THERE.

 

ALL THE ELEMENTS COMING TOGETHER.

 GLORY!!!  AND NOW THE FASHION SHOOT-

WE ARE GONNA GO OUT TONIGHT AND SEE IF

WE CAN'T WIN A COSTUME CONTEST OR TWO.

I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

Sunday at Dad's

KIND OF A SHORT BUT SWEET ONE HERE-

FALL IS FINALLY HERE AND EVERYONE IS
STARTING TO FEEL REALLY FESTIVE!

DAD AND LINDA MADE A FALL THEMED DINNER

LAST SUNDAY.  THERE WAS SQUASH INVOLVED, YES.

AND OF COURSE THERE WAS A GRILL INVOLVED.

AND THE DAY ENDED WITH ANOTHER AMAZING SUNSET.

THE MOON, MY FAVORITE, WAS OUT
ADDING TO THE SCENE.

☾ ☾ ☾

Workplace Centerpiece

THIS IS NOW A BIT OUTDATED, BUT A FEW WEEKS AGO
I DID SOME SCAVENGING (LIKE LAST YEAR) AND I MADE OUR
WORKPLACE A LITTLE FESTIVE FALL DISPLAY.

I INCLUDED SOME OF THE ELEMENTS THAT I USED

IN LAST YEAR'S THANKSGIVING CENTERPIECES.

I THINK IT HAS GONE OVER WELL BECAUSE I AM

PRETTY SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN FROM IT.

THAT IS THE ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT I AM LEARNING.

THE UA HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARY TODAY. THEY 

BOASTED A DAY OF THE DEAD ALTAR THAT TURNED

OUT TO BE REALLY LAME.  BUT I DID FIND THESE

PINK BREAST CANCER FLAMINGOS INSTEAD.

THEY HAVE BREAST CANCER STATISTICS ON THEM.
