Halloween Coloring Contest

This month our apartment complex held a coloring contest. They gave each apartment three pages to choose from. I thought about it for most of the month but wasn't sure if I would take the time to actually do it. Well on Thursday I wasn't feeling too good so I thought I could pass the time and be creative. I made four copies of the coloring page so that I could cut them apart and do some paper piecing. I didn't have any glitter so I used some fingernail polish. I think I spent about three hours or more on it (yeah a little silly). Overall I was happy with my end result. Tom turned it in for me and the two ladies that were working at the time thought I had a pretty good chance of winning. The prize was a mystery so we had no idea what to expect.

This morning I got a call saying that I had won! I was so excited but hoping that the prize wasn't lame. The last thing I would need was some gift certificate to a coffee house or a bar. Well we went to pick up my artwork and the prize and were excited with what I won. Here are some pics and we hope that you all have a wonderful Halloween!
