Glittered Pumpkin DIY

I know it's a Christmas song, but I can't seem to get the lyric "It's the most wonderful time of the year"

outta my head...

because Halloween just might be

the true most wonderful time of the year!

Supplies: Pumpkins + Elmer's glue + glitter + tray

Use a tray (I actually used a box lid)

as your work space so that you can catch

(and save, of course) your excess glitter.

Spread some Elmer's onto your pumpkin.

For my first pumpkin,

I made small glue circles to create a polka dot look.

For the second, I designed a cute skull face.

Glitter away!  Shake off excess glitter into your tray (or in some special cases, box lid).  You might need to gently blow some of the more stubborn pieces of glitter off.

Ta-da!  A cute skull-faced baby pumpkin...

...and a polka dotted cutie (soon-to-be) pie!

Happy Haunting!

Angel Bayou

Swaying like a specter on a swamp-licked porch,

Angel Bayou lights her haunting torch--

Like fireflies you're drawn so eerily in

To a beatific flame's promise you'll be born again.

Happy Day!

it's not our birthdays,

but let's

eat sugared fluffy cake and

wear our favorite vintage dresses and

dance around with a rainbow school of balloons,

shall we?

After seeing "Frankenweenie" in theatres...

 ...it's time to bust out da Halloween decorations!

We've been together for one year now.

Happy Anniversary to us.

But I think instead I'll stay young and gold
