Mini Halloween Decorations

When mom is putting up all the awesome Halloween decorations and you really want to help.

You’ll need a happy little witch on a broom…flying adorably backwards.

Frankenstein–of course. Duh.

Pikichu with a pumpkin headband is a particular favorite.

Annnnnnd chocolate candy corn…lots of it.

Oh, and see that push pin?

That’s how big these cute things are.

I’ll let you know when she’s ready to be hired out to decorate YOUR place.

Just so you know, I’m first in line.

 

 

 

 

The Witch’s Cat

I have two or three October puzzles. Enough you say? HA!  When I saw this cute black kitty…

with his bushy tail and autumn leaves…

and pumpkin friends, I knew he was the perfect addition to our puzzle collection.

Don’t you agree?

 

 

 

Rise and Shout

 

I haven’t been to a BYU game in a million years!

We had great seats but oh myyyyyy were they ever high up at the top of about a million stairs!

Dane even got a CougarTail…

which he was pretty excited about!

Don’t worry–he shared with all of us!

It doesn’t show so much here but it was a very bright…

very sunny day and we were pretty dang excited when the sun…

finally, finally went down behind the front stadium.

Ahhhhhh–

at last we could watch the game without shading our eyes from the glare.

On top of the great football loving company–we even WON!!

Go COUGARS!!!

 

 

Salem 1692

Haha! I LOVE this shirt and I would absolutely wear it. But first, let me ask–do you “get it?”
If you don’t–you’ll just need to Google it. If you DO get it–let me explain why I love it. No, I’m not now, nor have I ever been into the dark arts or anything satanic or creepy like that. But as it turns out, neither were most of the poor souls who were wrongfully put to death, in Salem–back then.
Many of those women were midwives, birth workers, herbalists and healers who used oils and plants and tinctures to actually, honestly help people in pain. For that- thousands of them were accused of witchcraft and hung or drowned or burned.
By those standards, my daughters and I would certainly have been on the hit list. It was a crazy, terrible time.
I know the world is pretty nuts right now, but I think it’s still a better time to be alive.
In fact, I’d wear this sweatshirt proudly, with gratitude…and a big old grin. 

 

Salute To The Flag

I accomplished my goal of finishing this Patriotic puzzle before the end of July. Now, you know I love my puzzles–but this one was a tough one. The pieces weren’t interlocking, which means they slid apart after I’d put it together. Plus all the pieces were so similar that I had no idea if things were in the right place. I know, I know. “Wahhh–wahh.”

I love the Norman Rockwell picture here, especially since we don’t see this print often. I’ll have to find this painting somewhere else because I’m not doing this misery puzzle ever again.

Haha.
