Happy National Candy Corn Day!

I'm a day late posting this, but TODAY is National Candy Corn Day!  The winner of the random drawing for the JFFRS candy corn fence stamp is...Happy Ink Designs!

I am not a fan of candy corn, but I like candy...especially chocolate! I bought two big bags of "our" favorite Halloween candy to hand out on Halloween. Whatever is left, I'm sure will get gobbled up, probably by me!

Here's to "Trick or Treating" and leftover candy...

Keep calm and eat chocolate!

What's Up My Witches?!

We don't usually get many trick or treaters on Halloween, but I decorated anyway. I like to see it when I come home! I really need to paint my front door, but it goes with the spooky decor.

I even let it overflow to the dining room...

Then I went to visit the Chapman Blondies and helped spread a little Halloween spirit there too!



So worth it to see this kid excited when we turned the lights on!



Since I was in Halloween mode, I saw these on Pinterest and thought I would make a t-shirt for Halloween...



I should have just ordered one and been done, but NOOOOOOO!!! I wanted to make one (rolling my eyes).  I didn't make a t-shirt, but I did make a card! I had to keep that witch theme going!

Sentiment created in Photoshop Elements and printed on Club Scrap cardstock. The sentiment was highlighted with a Perfect Pearls pen and dusted with Perfect Pearls to match the stamped image.[/caption]



Jeez, it looks like Halloween threw up over here! I sure hope we get some trick or treaters on Halloween, or I will be the one to eat all the candy!
