Playing with Paint {again}

I was so impressed with my Kenny K Teamie Torreys card made using Tulip "Glow In The Dark" paint I had to have a go myself, Unfortunately unlike Torrey I don't have the foggiest idea of how to take a picture in the dark to show the glow effect so you'll just have to take my word for it when I say that the black ring around my little The Paper Shelter Witch, the words and the pumpkins all glow rather nicely in the dark!

Everyday Can Be Halloween.

Now I know not everyone will agree but to me Halloween is just a day for the kids to get

 dressed up and have fun & I love it!

I love decorating the door and waiting to scare them back (usually with a painted face!!)

Last year I spent hours making goodie bags and they were very much appreciated . For day's I had little one's saying thank you for their presents. I was just a few sweeties and a plastic toy in a bag but It was the effort that went into the bags I think they enjoyed. This year I have bought some funky bags but I have decided to make Fudge & Scary Satsumas to go in them, but more of that next week!!

Today's make is a lovely Dilly Bean's card. I haven't made a Dilly's for age's and I do so love these Stacked Sugar Skulls, I think they will make a lovely tattoo! I love "Day of the Dead Frida" too!
