Well not the whole day. I did venture out to Goodwill, and ended up at the Dollar Tree for some of those glitter skulls I've seen around blogland:
which I put on top of some candle holders I made earlier and put on my mantel with on of my skully plates. Then I went through my Halloween stuff and got rid of some things and did some decorating. Here's something I did BB ( before blogging):
It's just acrylic paint on outdoor canvas (the kind you use for seat cushions, pillows etc.). I drew the ghosts and bats freehand several years ago. But then I did make some Halloween cards. It was card making day after all. I also realized I'm addicted to the K&Co line. I hadn't really thought about it until I started blogging and realized how much of their stuff I use. I bought this package of diecuts in August:

| 174 Pieces!!! And the photo looks like it's uploading right, but then flips. Oh well |
Generally I'm not a whimsical person, but these were fun and although I'm getting more "serious" in my Halloween decor, Halloween's a time for fun and whimsy so I went with that for some Halloween cards. I actually kept these pretty simple because they will be mailed and the post office and I disagree on embellishments!

| Can't see it in the pic but these diecuts have glitter already on them! Added an orange rhinestone nose |
 |
| I've since added black rhinestones to the owl's eyes | |

 |
| The spider is a leftover from some stuff I'd printed on Avery clear label paper |
 |
| I decorated this pumpkin die with separate eyeball diecuts from the pack |

I LOVE the cards -- they look wonderful!
The cards are fun and so are the glittery skulls. Don't you just love K & Company's products! I have so many of their tablets of paper and the cut-outs too! Great designers!
