Halloween Festivities

There was a Halloween door decorating contest at school this week.  Here’s what my class came up with.   The skeleton in the center has fake bugs and glitter glued to it and has splotches of “blood” and is holding a “bloody” syringe.  The curtains are made from plastic tablecloths with cutouts from treat bags attached to them.  There are fake bats hanging from the top of the frame (half of them...

A Little Halloween Help

While spending my time “studying” for class, I stumbled upon this site, Favecrafts.com.  They have a new eBook on Halloween and I just had to let everyone know about it.  Halloween is only a week away, there’s still time for crafting for it.  If not, maybe plan ahead for next year.  Yeah right.  They also have some stuff on Christmas, and it’s definitely not too late for that.

Of course not, my responses have just become timeless.  Anyway, I start classes on Monday...

Ancient Discoveries

I went to the natural history museum yesterday since it was free that day.  I go often actually so I know it pretty well.  I was looking at a map to find a specific gallery, apparently they moved Elvis the alligator to a better spot and he loves it.  I’ve never seen him look so alive.  Anyway I noticed something on the map I hadn’t before, the rooftop terrace.  I checked it out. It isn’t...
