Yikes!!!!! She'll cast a spell on you!

This is my daughter Selina's costume...she had fun at school with this....she will probably be in the yearbook...since they took her picture many times.

Here she is with Trix today!

Froy would not behave....he kept making stupid faces....no catnip for him!  

Freebie Friday- unhappily married photo

This is the strange wedding photo I found.  It looks like they just signed a merger.  She looks like a zombie and he looks like a deer caught in the headlights.  I wonder how it all went....did they fall in love or was it years of drudgery?  I hope it was good! 

Have a Happy Halloween this Sunday!

Growing up!

Here is my daughter Selina 3 years ago with her sister- Trix (tricks or treats is her nickname).  They love each other so much!  The cats love it when she plays outside...they play too.

Now Selina is growing up!! Here she is with her daddy and my hubby- Dana....at greenbluff.....where it is a madhouse this month.  Everyone and their brother must be up there each weekend!  She likes more grownup things now, but still loves to play with her cats.  Her middle school softball team won the tournament!!

Freebie Friday- THANKFUL TAG

It is Freebie Friday!!!! This tag is great to give to each guest for thanksgiving...give them some time to think and write their answers and then read at the table!  I love this time of year..it is already going by so fast...I want it to slow down alittle.  I need to watch some more scary movies before Halloween, go on more walks to see the leaves on the trees in all the different colors, and bake some goodies....like Apple crisp! 

My booth at the WSQ quilt show!

I had a cute vintage sign to point the way!

Here is a far away view....it was so nice to be able to spread out my booth since no one was beside me on the end.

I love using my old ironing table as a prop!  My needle felted pumpkins are always an eye catcher.

How do you like my quilt in the background?  My cat thought it was cool to lay on it before the show.  The mannequin was fun and it helped me display my patterns samples!

Halloween is so pretty!  My patterns sold out each day....it was alot of work and worth it.  This was my best show I ahve every had!

See the ornaments on the twigs and wheat...someone stole 3 of them....lets just say I believe in Karma!  Oh well, they are easy to make up again.

Spooky!

My old quilt always goes to all my shows.

The old days- back in the 60's & 70's

Remember these guys....the munsters?  How about the Adam's family tv show (not the movies)?  I loved Dark Shadows, although I had to watch them as repeats....since I was born in the latter part of the 60's.  These were great shows...how come they never play them anymore?  I try to tell my 13 year old about them and the style of the times....she is very interested.  I still have my dark shadows game and we like to play it...very spooky...but a bit like candy land....lol.  I wanted to be Lily munster, because she was pretty (in her way) and she was way smarter than anyone else...lol.  I always wondered in Herman could get any dumber....and oh yeah, he could!  I much prefer all the older hokier scarier movies ...to the new slasher, blood and killings of todays scary movies.  I will watch a vincent price or peter cushing movie any day....rather than the newer stuff.  But I must admit, I liked "the ring".  :)
