The Alison Bailey ...

Christmas Card List is here. They should go out sometime next week.

Iffen' you would like a card from me this holiday season -- they're going to be amazing and terribly complicated to put together and I can't wait! -- leave your info in the poll and I will send one out to you in a couple of weeks. No info, no card!

Do you plan on sending something along for the Ornament Exchange?

He's an underwear model from the Undergear catalog -- the male version of Victoria's Secret, which I accidentally managed to subscribe to in my mass catalog binge for reference material (my friend R wasn't exactly clear on what kind of men's clothing catalog it was...) -- so he may not have much in the way of acting abilities, but man! That is exactly how I would picture a young Steve Rogers in real life. He even has the sort of thin face to pull off pre-serum sickly Steve -- as seen on this cover for The Marvels Project #3.

Internet seems to be back in working order at the Bailey estate. I'm torn between being happy about this -- I can do research for class, check my online banking, read my entire friends list before the connection times out -- and being very, very depressed -- I have so much catching up to do... For better or for worse, I'm back.

More info.

I'm making mini coloring books for my trick-or-treaters this year. They have eight illustrations of little monsters -- mummies, vampires, werewolves, etc. -- and are the size of a quarter sheet of paper. If you would like one of your own or would like to get some for your costumed cuties, drop me an e-mail or a message here.

Books are four for $1.00 + shipping. (And no I won't use my flat rate envelopes. =D) Order are due September 30. Books will print October 1 and ship the next day. If you would like one for yourself (hey, only $.25!), I ask that you wait until after Halloween, 'cause I'll probably have left overs from our kids -- some years we get five, some years we get fifty -- and I might be able to throw in some other goodies as well.

Now, normally I'd post a preview, but... internet at my place is super slow and spotty at best, not to mention uploads are out of the question. Things should be fixed later next week. I will try to get a sneak peek up as soon as possible!

YARD SALE!

On avaerage, how many trick-or-treaters do you get for Halloween?

About how much money would you say you spend on candy/treats for the kiddies?

Do you ever hand out anything other than candy? If so, what?

I have fifteen more from last week to stitch together. Ugg.

I shred a bunch of old papers from college -- worksheets, handouts, midterms, etc -- to use as litter in the chicken house. ... I'm sure there's a statement about education in there somewhere. My chicken book said it makes for a cheap, recycled litter, but we shall see. I suspect newspaper will work better. Also -- I broke our second-hand, damaged paper shredder while doing this. Haha. Whoops! Scissors for me!

I spent the morning putting together some panoramas I've shot over the past few weeks as well as making final versions of some I'd pieced together prior. Eight sweet panos under the cut, some of which you've seen before.

Boston and Lil in the studio.

1. I figured it out, obviously. I have a scanner again! I'm so happy. <3
2. Seriously -- go here, watch the preview, and fangirl with me. When you see Joe/Dirk effin' Daring gettin' off the space ship in cuffs? That right there sealed the deal for me. I wanna see this movie so bad now...
3. I drew this while my class had studio time. I found some old notes form an "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" comic a while back and felt nostalgic for polar bear doodles.

Doodle Dump will be moving back to the OLI blog soon. I just wanna go in and gussy it up a bit beforehand.

I've been wanting to make some stenciled shirts for YEARS, and since I found some nice shirts on sale for super cheap this week, I'm finally taking the plunge. But, since I will probably be making more shirts than I can ever possibly wear -- especially when you consider I seem to wear the same three shirts every week -- I wanted to get a little market research going in hopes that I can sell a couple of shirts here and there to help cover some of my upcoming dental expenses. Poll #1428552 T-SHIRTS!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 8

What is your t-shirt size?

Lady types, do you prefer a ladies cut or a unisex cut t-shirt?

I prefer to wear...

... I just wanted to add a text entry. Um... requests?
