Prep Day

 

You will find me at my craft table today.  I am prepping to make a Halloween inspired spread.  

It's also catch-up day.  I will be spending a lot of time visiting friends I was unable to visit because of other commitments, like getting my hoses drained and inside the shed and covering my outdoor faucets, etc.

On my table are hand stamped images, painted images, and an example of a stamp I carved (the cross) using a kitchen paring knife.  I tried to show the best stamped examples on top.

And because the cat and the pumpkin have faces, I will be joining Nicole's Friday Face Off which will go live tomorrow.  I hope you join her by sharing a face, ANY face.

You will surely have fun making a Halloween collage! Our neighborhood is becoming more and more holiday-ready. At night, there are orange and purple and blue lights illuminating the garden decorations. I hope you'll enjoy yourself!

Oh yes, the outside stuff that needs to get done. The Almanac says we will have a wet and cold winter, ugh :( Not looking forward to any of it ... maybe the snow. I love snow and I love how beautiful it can be ... if only it didn't have to be so cold.
Your Halloween preps look fun and I look forward to seeing what you will do with all the pieces. I would think you would make use of Bluebeard for some of your Halloween ... it is a special time for cats, after all. So I am on a partial hiatus ... I have a ton of Christmas things I need to do and suddenly realized I am running out of time. I am dropping in, but not posting at Rain's and I post on FFO because I have a file full of faces and just have to pull one up ... easy peasy . So take care Elizabeth ...

Your outdoor plants always look very healthy. (I have a black thumb.) I need to do Winter yard prep, too.
