DAY 31- 31 Days of Halloween, the Countdown to Halloween, and the Real Witches of Halloween

Welcome to Day 31 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN
well it's over! It was Fun, Frantic, Frustrating at times, Full of Fantastic Creations by our Forum Family and now we can Forget about it until next Fall!!   (like my Alliterations?)



Today's Halloween funny:

Today's creation was supposed to be for SBS's 12 days of Halloween, which I thought I had to today to upload. NOPE! I'm aggravated about that, my own fault for not reading, just "assuming" But I fell asleep last night, without having my other thing finished, and I felt like crap and I had a rough night and I still feel like crap so here it is, and I am also going to share two stamped candles that were epic fails! I made one week one(skull) and one week 2.  I will definitely be seeing a doctor later.
here's my 4 X 4 for 10 ghouls a groaning:

It's a scan, so because of the beads we have crappy contact.

paper-PINK PAISLEE, Girl-witch--CTMH (Halloween Dingbats)

masked and stamped 10 times, and then the ten were cutup to fit. "GHOULS just wanna have fun" stamp $1 from MICHAEL'S.

glitter foam stickers- CREATOLOGY. Red Shimmer half beads- MAKING MEMORIES.

I have made candles so many times I do not know what I did wrong that these smeared so. 

I used embossing ink and EP on waxed paper.

Skull and Flourish stamps is from BLOCKHEADS STAMPS and the Kooky Spider wheel is by STAMPIN'UP. The Skull candle will be used tonight as my Samhain candle, and the spider will become an emergency candle. (I am showing you the BEST sides)

I wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN a BLESSED SAMHAIN, and a GREAT week!!!

I'll be here on and off, but I am pretty much gonna be visiting other blogs for the rest of this week, and tallying up comments on my days 1-15 and 16-31 for my 2 giveaways for the 31 days.

To my fellow wicked bloggers, you'll see me on the forum!

XOXOXOXOXOX

Susan

DAY 28- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN for the "HALLOWEEN PARTY" (hosted by A Fanciful Twist) post ( I also have a giveaway going on)


Welcome to Day 28 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 28 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 28 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Today's Halloween funny:

Well, it would seem I have a sinus infection, I've had enough to know the symptoms...I've kind of been thinking "if I don't admit it, it will just be a cold and go away"  NOPE!  full-on body aches and last night I woke a few times in a cold sweat etc.


so...here's today's creation:  $1 pencil cup from the dollar store, it is just stretched plastic/vinyl, whatever over a metal frame. I stamped all 4 sides with white stays on, and because I had to put my other hand inside to give it a semi firm surface while stamping, all my stamping slide a bit  :( UGH!  I think I might go over it all with a sharpie poster paint pen in white.  Funny thing is, I stamped this over a week ago, and the ink in spots still feels tacky. weird, right?

ok, I semi leaned it, on top of my address stamper, and then took one pic with 2 pens inside. ALL 4 stamps are from the $1 bin at Michael's over the last 2 years. I embellished it with some fun, elasticized wide sequence and fiber trim (rec as a RAK), using red line tape. Then added glitter foam spiders and pumpkins by CREATOLOGY.

Due to the stamping being so bad, I'm not entering this anywhere. I hope you all aren't too disappointed. 

This WAS NOT originally going to be in the "use pile", because of the stamping. I am just too sick. I have one other large project almost done. and then 2 more I have to come up with. HOPEFULLY, 1 will be a coffin.

Thanks for visiting :)

Welcome to Day 13 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 13 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 13 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

I know we are definitely in Autumn now.  My yard is slowly filling up with Maple leaves and whirly-birds. There will be WEEKS of leaf-blowing and raking. Next spring, after all the snow thaws etc. There will still be leaves to deal with. We have YET to get all the leaves up in 26 years.  In another week or so, the yard, if we haven't stayed semi-caught up; will be a carpet of yellow maple leaves. I won't even mention the pine needles and pine cones, LOL!

DAY 12- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

Welcome to Day 12 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 12 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 12 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

OK, today's creepy tale, is brought you by the the arachnophobe in the house...ME.  There was one of those large wolf spiders on the wall today in the kitchen on the side of the hutch near the filing cabinet (where we have lots of stuff piled up) I asked Ron to kill it, and handed him my slipper. (I should have asked my son, younger, quicker etc.)  Well, Ron missed. Any normal person would be like, ok we'll get him later. NOOOOOO, not me! I am unable to sleep, and I am looking on the floor every time I stand up to walk anywhere, like a freak. In my logical brain I know this is irrational behavior, but I just can't help it. They totally creep me out and scare me.  Even the demon fly must feel bad for me, as he hasn't been bugging me tonight.  I know, nuts, right?  Anyone else afraid of spiders? One time in my old house with first hubby, he killed one and squashed it up in a paper towel, and then KNOWING full well my fear (which was waaay worse back then) throw the paper towel on me, I was lounging on the couch watching TV.  I TOTALLY FREAKED OUT, I do not ever think I moved or jumped that fast in my life. I was actually crying, shaking and turned white. Of course my asshole X just kept laughing .  Looking back I think he may actually be a masochist. 

OK, onto the creation for the day. Day 12...WOOT!!
Another card:

 Meet WINNIE

 she is a digi stamp by SPIDER'S CORNER (appropriate for today's creepy tale)

 Ok I already told you the Digi Stamp is by SPIDER'S CORNER,

the sentiment "Spooky Halloween" is part of a 2 piece set I rec'd as a RAK 

(the other one says trick or treat)

Card stock is STAMPIN' UP, Printed paper is the very last strip of the Red Web SPIDERMAN paper I bought a few years back 

(now I am wishing I bought more, I do not recall what company made it)

Winnie is colored with BIC Mark Its!, and she is up on foam dots, and the sentiment is also. The Glitter foam stickers are by CREATOLOGY

 This is one of my Favorite cards so far, it looks really cool in person.
