There's a chilly wind blowing, the leaves are falling and it's almost HALLOWEEN! OK, yeah, who am I kidding...I know it's almost two whole months away, and it's finally just a little bit cooler here, but why not start the fun now?
This week, I am working on Halloween costumes for the grandkids, and thinking about how that tradition has been passed down in our family. Rarely, if ever, did my sisters and I get a Halloween costume from the store. My mother made some of the most elaborate and wonderful costumes for us, and we were the envy of all of our friends! Thankfully, we got to share those costumes at school during the annual Halloween Party Parade, because Trick-or-Treating quite often involved snow, heavy coats and awful rubber boots.
If you're looking for the perfect Halloween Greeting, why not hop on over to Greeting Card Universe and check out the excellent selection of spooky, creepy and funny cards. Below are a few fun examples (the first is from a mixed media painting I did last year)...click on any of them to be transported:
