Glimpses of Halloween

I love to decorate
for Halloween.
 My feather tree is
all decked out for the season..
With some sweet autumnal touches
 under the tree.
 I like to add simple little touches
to the existing decor..
 and create vignettes
 and whimsical displays..
and tuck a bit of
Halloween
in unexpected places.

Happy Halloween Wishes
from my home to yours!

Spirits of Halloween Past

 From my "paper doll era"...


                                             


 

                                                   


All of these friends went to other homes.
Now that I've revisited them,
I want to make some more!

A Spooky Exchange

Have you heard of 
Pocket Letters?
That term kept popping up
all over the internet..
and I was intrigued.

It turns out that it is a letter of sorts
that you create for a partner
using one of those
9 to-a-page
trading card protector sheets.

You fill each space with
craft gifties, your own artwork
and wishes for whatever theme
is being celebrated.

A Spooky Halloween Pocket Letter Swap?
I'm in!

Difficult to photograph but lots of fun stuff...
  
a tag, a mini domino book kit, atc's

a chenille pumpkinhead ornie, altered clothespins..

a packet of feathers, assorted embellishments 
and
a witch's broom.
This was the perfect swap
to get me in the
Halloween spirit!

Anyone interested in a Christmas/winter
themed pocket page swap?
I just might be persuaded to bring
our flickr swap group back to life....

It Isn't Always Black & White...

I so enjoy my files
of vintage images. 
Around this time of year I'm particularly
drawn to the old black & whites.
Many are perfect as they are
and some naturally lend themselves
to altering spooky style...
don't you think?








Enjoy!

Must Be the Season of the Witch

When I returned to my long neglected blog
this past July it was with the intention
of picking up where I left off.
Now here it is, the beginning of my favorite season
and finally, another post.

First I must express my gratitude to all my blogging and swapping
friends who took the time to wish me well.
I can't begin to express how appreciative I am for your 
kind words and well wishes.

I am happy to report that I do not have any life threatening
illness or condition.
I do have a life changing condition..
one that I am slowly adapting to.
Chronic pain has kept me from so much of what 
I enjoy.
My time has been spent in physical therapy,
receiving epidural injections
and wandering through the world of pain management.

So bear with me while I slowly return.
I can't wait to catch up with all of you and eventually 
I would love to resurrect the swap group
if there is still an interest.

For now I'll share a couple of witchy tags
I've made for a swap.



I am back!
Must be the season of the witch!
