Monday Morning, and what a beautiful day I plan to make it......I just looked at the calendar and realized Halloween is this week. Wow, where did October go? Do you have your Pumpkin? Do you even celebrate Halloween? If you do here's a treat for you, and if you don't scroll past the pumpkins and move right to Treat #4.
If you have children you know that the pressure to "buy" costumes is horrible. The stores are full of them, Batman, Wonder woman, sexy this or sexy that is hot this year and vying for your dollar. Buy me buy me..costumes, candy, accessories, pumpkins....all the ghostley and ghouley things you could possibly want. Now try saying No. Try telling your child that this year you're going to "MAKE" their costume. If you're lucky you won't have any temper tantrums and whining that "EVERYONE" else has a "REAL" Costume.......blah blah blah.....
Kids are good at pushing our buttons. People are afraid of being different, and that includes kids. I saw an adorable child as a ladybug, tights, tutu, and wings......a few dollars and a little make-up made an adorable costume. As we did when I was a kid use your imagination, and recycle what you have around the house....you'd be surprised at what you can come up with.
OK....so today I am giving you a couple Treats (that would be the big candy bars we used to get) and one trick (that would be the pencils or those Chinese finger torture thingies). Please excuse Treat #2 I learned how to get a picture and writing into a JPG, and was practicing last night.....it's too late to go back and take the Orange out, but if you look close you can see the words :) Lesson learned...less can be more LOL :)
Treat #1
What Classic Halloween Costume Should You Wear?
Treat #2
This next one is a fun inexpensive decoration if you're having a Halloween Party. In todays economic times many people cannot afford all the decorations you see in the stores.....but this is a fun one you can do with your kids (or for your own Party). Enjoy.......
Treat #3 You may take any of the Graphics on here and use if you wish....the Witch, Pumpkin, etc...just right click and save as ( puts on your computer). If you need a Graphic for your own Post feel free........
All 3 images can be smaller or bigger, as I have scrunched them to fit here :)
Treat/Trick #4
And my last Treat or Trick is for everyone out there that is biting at the bits over the election. And there's many people on here that just may turn back into the person they used to be before getting all crazy with trying to get everyone to believe their candidate is better than ours....There really are a lot of Withces, Ghouls and Goblins speaking out in this election.....so here you go, enjoy, and I can't wait till the Witching Hour is over....and life returns to normal, whatever that might be, (can you tell I'm tired of this campign already, and how people are behaving)?
Should You Be Allowed to Vote?
So all my friends and colleagues.....I leave you with this quote that I felt was so apropos to this election, and some of the top issues besides who will be the next President.
"You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is
that you meet it with the best you have to give."
Eleanor Roosevelt
Have a great day, and a great week...I know I plan to :)
