deadly ever after

Happy Halloween to all. This past weekend Wade and I went to Logan to visit my brother and his family and to our friends annual murder mystery party. It was really fun with great food. Each person played a different character from a well known story (romeo and juliet, hamlet, Rapunzel ect.)

My niece and nephew wanted me to take a picture of them jumping. My niece wanted to wear my wig and help me get ready for the party. It was fun hanging out with them.
Here is my nephew as Darth Vader and me (Snow White) he just turned 6 and is pretty awesome.
Here are our hosts Tessa (Wicked Witch of the West), Mason (skeleton) and Bryce (Sherlock Holmes)
Here are Katie (little red riding hood) and Paul ( Hamlet) look at his i phone.. he has a skeleton on it.. very clever

Bryce and Steven (Prince Charming) are pretty close...friends?

I seriously cannot take a good picture!

I like hanging out with this little guy

And his mama of course =)

i am so proud of myself.

Meet my project. This side table was taken (by wade) from Wade's parents when we first got married. It was tired, it did not have any handles and it had some chips and scuffs. I was inspired by two blogs I look at "opal never shouts" and Blue cricket design and thought "I can make this look a lot better." So I decided to sand paint and antique it by sanding the edges and put a bit of stain on it. I also went to downeast and bought the handle for $2. It took me maybe 2 hours of work and maybe $7 in supplies. Here are the before and after pictures.

Here is an up close of the antiquing.
