BLOG HOP!! I LOVE this time of month! And, there's extra this month! PLEASE head on over to Lovebug Scrapbooking Web Site -- and check out the last week of the Halloween AWESOME online crop they are having! SO AWESOME!

Now back to Halloween! I've been a busy woman! I made a whole bunch of cards to give out this year. Here are some of them! I LOVE THEM! Since Christmas is such a big deal for most people, I'm focusing on the Halloween ... the "cursed" holiday!

Now growing up, Halloween was one of the more fun times of year in our house. We decorated the BIG front window each year, with homemade decorations. We did a big tree silhouette and then bats, full moon, the outlines of witches and cauldrons. It looked awesome. We had a real neat glow in the dark skeleton and some real neat stuffed headless "horse man" that sat on the deck. It was a BLAST!!
Okay, what else is near Halloween -- my birthday! So, that added to the fun each year. We did Halloween parties a couple years. Doing Trick-treating with the girls was a blast!! I loved it!! We did a whole "Adam's Family" theme -- I was "mama" and looked like some massive freakie old lady with awesome hair. My best friend then dressed up as Morticia and FROZE! It was so much fun! We sure got good loot that year. :)

Anyways! I'm just babbling because I'm happy about Halloween! I did my front entry way up -- with a carved pumpkin, decorated planter boxes with fake bones all over (they look awesome!!) and my front bushes are covered with strange mesh with bones sticking out all over. (I'll try and take a picture before this is posted -- so we'll see!!). I'm VERY proud of my pumpkin skills thies year though.
(BTW - when did the insides become soooo darn stringie!! It was horrible carving it - the front looked awesome, but around the edges behind where I cut was all "stringy" and really annoying!! But, it worked)

Please, don't forget to pop on over to Lovebug and get your Halloween mojo working! :)
