Lynne sent this from Philadelphia - and she used one of my all-time favorite stamps. It's very fun how the eagle on the postmark looks like it is just about to land on the stamp. Dreamy dark blue ink continues to be a favorite.
The next three or four posts might be dismal - because I just have to get them filled before my trip to Chicago. Maybe I'll load photos and come back and fill in blurbs later.

There have not been very many catastrophes during my project. I had only two very minor encounters with the hot glue gun. And then there was that time Big Bertha fell off the upper tier - and that's a story for another day.
The three tiers of the ofrenda stack up to almost 8 feet tall - so the 2 foot skull goes on top of that. I had to set up something so I could view the skull from below and figure out where to include the doodles. The highest place in the house was the garage - so I made a stack - which was still 15-inches shorter than where it will actually be.
Then the designer texted me that he had paint to deliver - and that he was standing outside my garage door - so I hit the garage door opener - and the garage door ran into the skull. Luckily - there was no damage. But after big Bertha's big fall - I didn't even panic when the door hit the skull.
