Hanukkah

So Randy and I have a new project:  The wall of things that make us happy.  Otherwise known as art on the walls going up the stairs.  Hopefully we'll get to working on it soon, but I'd like to put up stuff like this:





Or whatever we decide on, and I'm sure it will change.  It all started from our Hanukkah gifts to each other.  I painted 8 wooden signs and canvases for Randy with his favorite and motivational quotes, and he got me....


Voodoo dolls!  I know what you're going to say, aren't we trying to get rid of objects of the occult in our home?  Why, yes we are!  But these are positive voodoo dolls.  Like this little Freddy Krueger look-alike - he's for reducing stress.


This little hula girl helps you keep sunshine in your life and protects you from people who are trying to ruin your day.


You can probably read what this one does.


Apparently, Randy thinks I am late for everything.  Oh, he says he doesn't think I'm late for everything, he knows I'm late for everything.


So you're thinking, "How does this apply to the wall of happy things?"  And I will tell you, they don't  ...yet!  Since there are 8 of them and we don't want them spread all over the greater Philadelphia area, we're going to put them in some sort of display or shadow box.  Because they're cute.  And they're probably about as evil as Dr. Doofenschmirtz.  CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!

Now on to our wall of things that make us happy.


We have.

Hard to do sometimes, and it's good to have a reminder:


Randy's catch phrase.  He pulls it out at the most interesting times.



We are Philadelphians after all.


This one is still a work in progress.


So overall it was a good Hanukkah and it gave us some good ideas for making the house more like us.  Touchdown!  


Actually, we were having a really hard time getting all of our candles to light on the last night of Hanukkah.  Kind of ironic, huh?  Everytime Randy would light one, another one would go out.  Maybe we would have done better with oil.
