Halloween Tease...

I have been a Halloween Hermit all month! For me, May has been a blur of whimsical orange and black bats, owls, jack-o'-lanterns and cats as I have been busily working on my first Halloween product submission for Bethany Lowe Designs! I am thrilled to now be working with this very talented and reputable company, and look forward to seeing my holiday collections debut in January! If only I had more patience.....

So, this may explain why I have been missing in action. It's a relief to have this group of goodies complete, and I can't wait to share them with you next year! For now, I'll post a few teaser pics of just a few of my original samples. Stay tuned for my collection of candy containers, collectibles and festive party hats coming your way!

    Oh you TEASE!! I want to see moooooooooooore :~). Congrats on finishing your fall submissions, I am sure that Bethany will do them justice! They are gorgeous!

    Thanks for the comment on my heron, Madison spotted him.. and I ran for my digital. Luckily he did not see me taking his pic! We are a few fish short now, but the kids said they would rather just get more fish.

    I hope you can take a breather.. eat some of that yummy Belgium chocolate. My Leibniz is nearly gone, onto the RitterSPORT now!! Then the 2 370 gram Lindt chocolate noir bars :) :) :)....

    xoxo Kitty
