Four days down...

...and only 27 more to go.
The days are just flying by as it is.
Hope I can keep up!

About a month ago a dear friend gave away almost all of her
earthly possessions and moved to Texas with her son.
Don't even get me started on living in Texas, but let me
just say it was the worst eight months of my life. Period.
Anyhoo, I digress.

One of the various treasured items that I now have of hers
is this Disney album.

 That is some vintage shit right there.
Super nice, right? Not in too bad of condition either.
Although the album's inner sleeve is (of course) missing.
Meaning, that the album may be a little worse for wear.

She said her Dad used to play it every year for Halloween.

I remember those kind of houses while trick or treating.

They were so much scarier than the houses with just a porch light 

and a lit jack-o-lantern. 

I mean c'mon, look at those titles!

You can already hear most of these just based on your own Halloween memories.

I'm guessing that by the time you get to side two, you may be ready to call
it a night. Not sure just how many screams and drips I can handle in one sitting.
I'll probably be popping this gem into a frame and hanging it up as art.

And speaking of art, here is a nice shot of my mantle the other evening.

It's a good view of my bugs and a beautiful framed art print from and by

Mitzi Sato-Wiuff of Aurora Wings. 

Check out her shop for gorgeous art of all themes, but her dark art is

of course, my favorite.    

And now for the crafty portion of our show...

I made this card, and I love it.

I tend to try too hard, but this is so simple, and it came together

fairly quickly, for me anyway. 

The image was a freebie from Paper Whims(?) years ago,

but I can't find a link for them anywhere. It may have been from 

a now defunct blog. Anyone else have this in their stash? Donna?

EDIT: I reverse image searched it and found it at Beccy's Place, along with

a few other cool freebies. You are welcome.

I really like the Victorian feel of the damask dp, the label, and the

combination of black lace and Burton-esque ribbon. 

I like it a lot.

Thanks for stopping by again, today.

All of the hop links are in my sidebar for your hopping convenience.

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

Geesh! 

The day is almost over and I have barely even gotten started!

After getting my monster off to school this morning all decked out in his

finest Amanda Bynes costume and wig, I must have watched all of the 

Halloween movies back to back, starting at 7 AM. Nothing like a little

horror in the morning to get your day started off right!

  I did manage to complete a few Hallowe'en projects

that have been on my 'to do' list for quite a while.

Like this cute card featuring one of the sweetest Pumpkin Sprites ever,

and her kitty. The image is from Aurora Wings, by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.

Mitzi is our sponsor this challenge at HDH, and she is also one of my favorite

artists. She has such a unique and beautiful style of artwork. I'm a huge fan.     

I have been trying my artistic hand at relief carving/sculpting.

This was my very first attempt. I thought I'd try to keep it

pretty simple. All made from white Sculpey polymer clay, painted in acrylics, 

and then some glitter and rhinestone bling was added. 

This is my second attempt at relief sculpting.

A little more involved this time around.

I'm still learning and acquiring the right tools, but overall,

I'm pretty pleased with this Lycanthrope.

This piece (and the other one, too) measure about 

2.5" x 3.5", like an ATC. I really like this type of sculpting quite a bit,

and I have some really cool ideas for lots more of these!

Thanks for dropping by, and 

Happy Hallowe'en!!!
