New! Haunted Thin House Mini and Fall Carnival Swing Ride

Hello Friends!

I don't know if it's the hot weather but I'm just longing for Fall. I love Fall! It's such a pretty time of year as the leaves change from green to those beautiful warm colors. To me it's the kick off to the upcoming holiday season. Speaking of kicking of Fall, I have created two different projects that are Fall themed...

The ELEVENTH in The Thin House Mini Collection is Haunted Haven. Full of details and a great decoration for your home. Easy to store and small enough to leave out and add to the collection. Remove the roof and the base to get to the main box compartment which holds a simple to make mini (not shown). Spooky!

OZ Fall Fair Swing Ride

The second project that I've conjured up for this Fall is a carnival ride. I love to make carnival rides...This is actually a remake of one I made years ago after visiting Chicago's Navy Pier. This Swing ride is bedecked in Graphic 45's Magic of Oz paper and has four swings that actually "SWWIIINGGG" when the ride is spun on it's hidden lazy Susan. A really cool piece!
