I have a few more Halloween Cards to share and then I will move on to Thanksgiving for the month of November. Stayed tuned for all the Fall Fun!! I have been working on a fabric project--covering a hat box. I will share photos of that when finished. I plan to use the hat box to hold table linens in the dining room. I hope you are having a great weekend. I hope I can get outside and do a bit of clean up work in the garden. It is time to put away all the garden ornaments and clay pots. Getting colder every day here in good old Michigan. So, see you next time for more Halloween Scariness. Love ya.
