Morning Peoples day 31 has arrived


Morning peoples. HAPPY HALLOWE'EN / SAMHAIN to you all.

We made it!!! Last day of this marathon organised by the Smeared & Smudged Forum for the 4th year running. How many are still with us? I know that there have been a few drop out for many reasons. Such a shame.
For all the rules the forum and Terra's blog are the best places to get the info. Including that of all the fantastic sponsors that have been lined up. There is a list still over on the right hand side bar of my blog should you find your self lost. What celebration would it be without the pumpkin? That modern day symbol of fertility and to scare the evil nasties away.
I used Evil Skully from Delicious Doodles as my template for this pumpkin. I have another to carve - but wanted to get this post up before taking son to the dentist.
The dark isn't dark enough at the moment to get a true piccy of the true effect. Forgot to take it last night.
You get the idea though?

I also made a couple more candles
Using stamps from Tattered Angels onto tissue paper.

That's me done for this 31 days. Just need to finish decorating.

Valerie is the very talented lady you will, no doubt have visited before me, and now is the turn of the beautiful blog of Sharon.

 Thank you all for every single visit and comment this last month. I don't know if I could have done this without your encouragement.

 Same time next year?

 EDIT
I managed to get a pic tonight of my gourd.

 I'd Like to enter this into the challenge at
