Deb Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 wow! Love Great grandpa in the cage!!! Some guys do deserve it!! LOL When you read the story and hear what he did, you'll cheer his "conversion". As the old joke goes, "What do you say to an angry witch? Ribbit, ribbit." heheheheheehee Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Such a wonderful tribute Deb, and done to perfection - the details are mind-boggling! I can't wait to see Sarah Ann tending her beautiful shop. Sounds like she was quite a woman! And I love that Great Grandpa has a place of "honor" as well <ribbit ribbit> :lol: Sounds like he was lucky it was only a frog he was turned into.. <_< Can't wait to see the tut on the books, they are just beautiful! The whole shop is just a real joy to look at. Well Done!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 A tutorial for the candles & display shelves would also be nice, maybe in The Gazette... Your great-grandma sounds like quite a neat lady! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I am happy on two counts. One: You did a phenomenal job on it! Two: You did it so that means you are feeling better!! *tapping foot* Patiently waiting for a book tut. I have a library to fill and I want some books. Love it Love it Love it!

welcomehomeminis Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That would be my great grandfather. <cackle> Believe me, he had it comin'! LOL! Any spells in those books for putting ex-husbands in cages? Jus' wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherr Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I just saw this post. It's MARVELOUS Deb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 A tutorial for the candles & display shelves would also be nice, maybe in The Gazette... The display shelves came with the kit so I can't do a tut on those. The candles are so simple that they don't need a tut. Check the grocery store in the birthday cake decorating section for birthday candles. The black and white ones are just cut down to make pillar candles. The colored candles in the gold holders are regular bday candles cut down just a little bit and stuck onto the pin part of a gold push pin. The dragon and fairy candle holders are silver charms with bday candles glued to them. Easy as pie to do them all! I finished the mass-production book tut today and it'll run in the next issue of the Gazette. Two: You did it so that means you are feeling better!! That's the very, very, very best part!! I'm building again and that means more to me than anything else. <happy dancing> Got that Adams into dry fit and am contemplating the next step. Did I mention that the Adams is going to be one of two experimental torture houses used for practicing things for tutorials? Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 ...Did I mention that the Adams is going to be one of two experimental torture houses used for practicing things for tutorials? DebIs that in addition to being bashed with the Madison? Or are you building TWO Adamses? Now I'm SO confused! Thanks for the candle info!

Deb Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is that in addition to being bashed with the Madison? Or are you building TWO Adamses? Now I'm SO confused! Thanks for the candle info! There will be two Adams. I won't be starting the Madison/Adams bash for awhile. The experimental torture Adams is a stand-alone house and it'll be used for tutorials like aging/distressing wood, plank floors, hauntings, and that sort of thing. The second experimental torture house will be a Storybook Cottage and it'll be a "pretty" house used for tuts like wallpapering, round wire lighting, window treatments, etc. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2craftnow Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well, all experiments I'm sure lookin' forward to :yes: Need all the help I can get, as most of my experiments usually end up in the "never to be seen again" file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liggysasha Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What a fab job you've done. I love all the details, just the perfect place for a witch to shop. I wish I was 5" tall, so I could take a wander around the store! I was going to ask what you were doing with your Adams. That's a great idea - looking forward to lots of useful tuts from it!

Deb Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 So I had to run to walmart tonight and, as always, I ran thru the fabric section. (FYI, that's where I found the textured "leather" fabric that I used for the books) When I got the leather I used, they just had brown, tan and black. This time they had burgandy too. <sigh> You know some of it had to come home and live with me. Burgandy books would just be sooooooo cool along with the black and brown. And here I thought I was done making books! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just adore your WWE and I could easily see myself settling in at the top floor for some serious research!!!! I am over-joyed to hear that you are building again and can't wait to see mooooooore lovley eye candy and I am so intruiged byt the upcoming tutorial as you know I have these shelves that are still sort of bare in the book store part in Her Highness...
