Day 282 Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas

Day 282

We went the "The Gathering 5" which is put on by The Usual Suspects Network.  It's held at Planet Hollywood.  It was impossible to write my blog from their "free" internet connection. So I will post a several days at once. 
Bob was given a handmade pipe by a knifemaker from Canada Pete Rassenti.  Awesome!

Richard Rogers won the show award for the "Most Inventive Knife."  It was his first time at the Gathering.  Way to go Richard!!!!!  If you want to see his latest work, and his new blog:

This is the knife that won. No bigger than a sharpie!


Each day is a gift, open now.

Day 280 Vegas Baby!

Day 280
copyright 2013 polkadot magpie
Sam is set for Vegas.  She's going with us for the Usual Suspects Gathering #5.  She loves her knife people! 

As this adventure unfolds, I am seeing Sam develop as a character would in a good novel.  She's been dressed up in may ways.  This look, with the strawberry wig and the skull jacket seems to fit her well.  I wonder if she was a showgirl at some time.  She sure has a flair for the dramatic!

I will try and post when we are there, but if not...we'll see you when we get back! 

Each day is a gift, open now.

Name that skeleton!!




So it's time for a contest, which I don't do very often.  I need to name the 3 new skeletons I bought at Costco.  Although they are not anatomically incorrect, I feel they look like boys.  So I am looking for 3 boys names.  I will give a free 8-10 photo of your choice from SamieSam's shop on Etsy:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SamieSam.  Or click on the boxes in the right hand corner to get to her shop.

 HOW TO ENTER:

1. Leave a comment below with a link from an item you like from  Sam's Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SamieSam copied and pasted into the comment.

 2. NAMES !! I will choose the 3 names, and give a signed photo to each name winner. You may enter more than once with a different name suggestion. If I choose more than one of your names, you get more than one photo!

3.  Contest ends August 30th at midnight mountain time.  

Easy right?
