It’s Good to be Queen

We had a scarecrow-building contest at work this week.  Of course I was last-minute-Larry and my team waited until the last minute to get it together.

But we did…and we rocked it.  It felt good to be creative.  With some help from Thom {thanks!} we built the Arachnid Queen with a pillow, some raffia, and an old bridesmaid dress that has been in my closet for forever.

The dress is Alfred Angelo.  The jewelry: custom made by my friend and coworker Laurel.  Boa, crown and wig by Dollar General.  And, she’s ready for her close-up

We won the contest.  It felt good.  Competition felt good.  The anticipation of victory and the even dreaded feeling of a possible loss felt good.

So…it’s NaBloPoMo time again. As you can tell from this post I’m already not feeling it.  But I will soldier on and hopefully these posts will get better.
