Getting it all done on schedule... so far... hopefully!
After working non-stop all week, last week... Sunday I cleaned, I rested, and I prepared myself to work non-stop this week!
So here's the progress:
I spent a whole evening making these "pinatas" only to find that paper
towels NEVER make for good paper mache pinatas! The just bend on
impact. After figuring out how to make working pinatas... we thought,
what could we do with these?! And walla, found a perfect decor pieces
that light up!
Here's our official pinatas! Much more apt to break, as long as you can hit them!
To see the rest, you'll have to come out Saturday!!! Or stay tuned... more to come... .possibly. muahahahaha!!!

I'm horrible with social media
It appears I can't keep this thing up to date for the life of me but today I try again to make it a habit!
There's a lot of things we've been doing at MOPE so instead of updating you on what you missed, I'll share with you what we got going on!
1. Website - we got merch up for sale. I bypassed getting any professional and slowly created it myself. It will be always growing and hopefully shrinking (which means sales). There's some Pink Elephant profiles up. There's event a calender in Your Creativity section. Trust me it seems like nothing but when you know only the graphics side of creating websites, having a calender with links is a small but large accomplishment! Looks like I might become the professional after all is said and done. PLEASE if you do stop by the site, don't hesitate to let us know what you think, ANY errors/missing links, suggestions, praise, cursing... well everyone needs both sides of criticism.
2. MOPEs Annual Halloween Festival - 2nd year running. This will be quite larger than last year which means 10 times the work. But I got this... making pinatas, collecting fishbowls, sewing tiny brains, designing and spooktacular backdrop... oi... I got this! I GOT THIS!! Because I have amazing help!!! Pink Elephants are the best help a small business owner with a huge overflowing plate could get!! From a pie eating contest, a pun battle (whaaat?! you know we always do something different) to punch and edibles, games and prizes it's going to be something NO ONE should miss! There will EVEN be professional make up artists to face paint and make someone's costume go from, "oh you're a zombie, right." to "holy shit, i seriously thought you were a fracking ZOMBIE! gees..."
3. Herb Pillows! - we brought our first Herb pillows to the Holistic Festival we went to a month or two ago and they were a hit! A yoga studio local to Orlando has asked us to sell our pillows in the studio! So in November we will have our herb pillow babies (because while making them Pink Elephant Literary Manager Glo couldn't stop referring to them as babies... bc in your arms they feel like a cute little baby. and WE made em, they are our babies, especially the elephant ones!) for sale in a yoga studio! We'll announce all the details in November. Until then we are sewing, we are stuffing, we are mixing herbs! And in case you are lost on the term herb pillow - it is our new project, we created three different recipes (Muscle Therapy, No Stress, and Get Well) to put into a rice filled pillow of assorted sizes. They are used by either microwaving or freezing for warm/cold compress. They are magical - headaches, cramps, soreness, feels like heaven in pain world with these babies!
4. Designing the next Art Show - it's been a while since we put on an art show and we got a great new idea. $5 art show and with the entry fee you get to choose a painting to keep. The art is no bigger than 5"x5" but well worth the $5. If you want more than your guaranteed piece, no problem, the rest are also $5. Our goal is to have as many as 500 tiny art pieces for sale! It's a great challenge to the Pink Elephants and great for holiday shopping for our fans! This'll be in late November.
So these are just our BIG projects in the works. Not to mention how many projects we do individually, in groups, we all work, we are all crazy, and we all still manage to make time to have fun!! So just a piece of the life of a Pink Elephant!!
I promise, I will try my best to post weekly if not more with pictures on our progress, our craze, our MOPE!!

Hard work but good creative fun :)
It's hard work to keep up with life but as we play along the game always gets easier at times.
The Art Crawls in The Milk District have been fantastic! A cold front (however long it may last) allows for those winter clothes we keep hidden in Florida. Creative juices are churning...
with that said, what do yah think of the new mugs we been working on?
Much more to come. This cool weather gets the blood pumping, the heart beating, and creative energies stirring!
These beauties and more will be available for you to take home for hot cocoa's and coffees soon on our new website OR at the next Art Crawl, November 9th.
