Happy Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving dinner is right around the corner... why not have CANDY for the feast instead of TURKEY! YUM... I think SO!!!!!

Count your Blessings!!! It's been a rough year for allot of us, but I know we ALL have allot to be thankful for!

What I'm thankful for--
1:: An Amazing God who has guided me and directed me down the right path.
2:: A "very" supportive Family who is always there for me.
3:: Great Friends who love me unconditionally.
4:: Creativity and Cupid's Tooth for giving me a chance to create these Displays!!!
5:: My other two jobs, even though my days are long and can be rough I know that I'm gaining experience, thick skin and a PAY CHECK!
6:: Lastly, my animals. My parents Pug, my cat and my Turtle are always a wonderful blessings to come home too!

Halloween 2010

I decided to go with the cute Halloween Feeling. Freelancing for a candy store is a challenge, having to figure out how to display small pieces of edible food. I wanted to achieve the goal of bringing foot traffic in the door. !!!Bright Orange colors & Black!!!

Window #1:  Title: "Death by Chocolate"

  

Window #2: Title: "To much of a good thing; Destruction by Toothache & Sugar Overload"

Halloween....

I am currently working on creating a Halloween Display. What a  challenge this has been so far. I have a few ways I could go with this display; 1) Haunted & Scary or 2) A bit lower key and creative. Either which way I explore I have been told it needs to be OVER THE TOP. WOW... What does that mean???? If you have some ideas with what you feel is over the top----Comment!!!!

Back To School 2010

Back to School 2010

I dedicate these displays to all the Smarties & Nerds who are taken forganted in Elmentary, Middle School and Highschool. Without the wonderful brains of individuals who enjoy Math, Reading, Science Etc.. we wouldn't have such a bright future.

:::This Past Year:: Research::

It's been a year since I have graduated from Art school. Just like most graduates I was working hard towards finding the right job that would be a entry into my passion as window dresser but as we all know the economy is not in anyone's favor. Therefore, I found myself working 2 part-time jobs in which one was at the "Happiest Place on Earth". I had an amazing experience with working with a independent shoppe inside the castle. I wasn't doing my dream job but I was close enough. On my days off I would wonder around the park finding interesting window displays and document them. Here are a few images from my moments inside the park: enjoy!
