A spider and his web...

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a "dream catcher" that I made for my daughter.
She's away at college and had been having some bad dreams. She asked if I thought she should get a dream catcher. I told her to do whatever she needed to help herself through this time.

I had recently seen a very cool sun-catcher on Pinterest as well as a story about a spider on a Christmas tree.

I decided to combine the two ideas...along with being kind of a dream catcher. 


I used some thin wire, fishing line and an assortment of beads to create a spider.


I hung him from some fishing line attached to a stick which was hooked to a clear suction cup with some fishing line.


As I lay in bed one night worried about my daughter, words started streaming through my head. I knew what I wanted to say to her but needed it to have real meaning for her.


By morning I had come up with this...

"I may not be a dream catcher but I do spin a web.
I'll snare those bad dreams that are running through your head."

I wrapped it and gave it to her.
I don't know if she's just being kind and not filling me in or if it really worked but she hasn't texted me about a bad dream since I gave this to her.

Art Impressions Tweeter Set for Halloween!

Hello Ai fans!

This is my second post today so please scroll down to see my other post.  My card features one of the new Halloween sets from Art Impressions.  The set is called Tweeter Set (Sku#4523).


I also used the cute little bats from the Air-Hag Set (Sku#4309)


The verse on the inside is called Trembley, Shakey (Sku#I1787). 
I also used the cute little Hanging Spider (Sku#F1771).



Here's a view of all the layers.


I'm not sure if Ai planned this or not but the eyes on the costume are the perfect size for googly eyes.
