Christmas in July? Well, then...

...I'm feeling Halloween in April.  I think it's just what us Halloweeners need at half time in the year, right between the last Halloween and the next.

So, be on the lookout starting April 1st for a MONTH of Halloween at The Halloween Spot!

Miscellaneous Wednesdays: A Twitter Find #1

I've really begun blurring that line between "It's a stretch" and miscellaneous...  But here is someone I found through Twitter - one of my followers ;)

This woman - LeanneM or Immortal Essence, as her site is titled - is a talented artist who works in a variety of mediums to create macabre and Halloween themed items among many other things.  I find her work to be very appealing to my taste and rather interesting to any viewers.  If I really tried to describe her work to you, I'd butcher the visual.  I suggest you just take a look for yourself!

Her bio from Twitter:

"Artist in several mediums. Odd little shy one who likes music, horror & art. Is more scared of people than Zombies. Listens to music loud because she can."

Some work:

 

Miscellaneous Wednesdays: Aw Cute!

Little time... Going out...  TURKEY DAY TOMORROW!!

Here's an "aw":

Miscellaneous Wednesdays: Eagles Jack-o'-Lantern!

This is my first attempt at a multi-layered design.  Could have definitely shaved a bit more off the inside of the pumpkin.

Enjoy!

I'm also convinced it would have turned out better had they won...
