Spooktacular Halloween!

Hello everyone and

welcome to my

"Spooktacular Halloween" 

post!

Ah Halloween, Trick-or-treat, the one day a year

when it is OK to eat to much yummy candy

and dress up at the same time!

 Well before the spooky fun begins I would

like to share this years Halloween card and treat box

with you all!

The "Skeleton Lady" or

"Dame Squelette".

 Scary pretty!

 Fence and corner was cut with Cricut cartridge

"Potions and Spells". 

Skeleton Lady by Stampendous!

 The minute I laid eyes on this stamp I

know I needed to have it.

It's so New Orleans cemetery, Voodoo

and Marie Laveau.

 Dame Squelette out for a stroll!

 The toxic good treat boxes.

 All stamps used in the treat boxes are from

Stampin'Up! set "Toxic Treats".

 All filled with candy and lined up for delivery

to ghosts and goblins.

Spooktacular!

Witching you all a safe and

happy

Halloween!

Thanks for stopping by!

Road Trip!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all having a great weekend!

First I need to apologies for running

a little behind on posting anything

but I have a great excuse

"Fall Break"

and 

a so needed and well deserved

vacation!!!

Fall is the time for us to head south,

spend some time with family and friends,

and get some well deserved RNR!

And heading south means going home to

Louisiana, St. Tammany and 

the beautiful North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain!

 This year we were fortunate that the cabins at

Fontainbleau State Park

reopened after they were destroyed by Hurricane Issac 

and we were able to rent one of the cabins right on/in the lake. 

 A little peace of paradise on the North Shore.

 I took a few books and my knitting along

but I have to admit neither reading nor knitting got done,

the magic and peacefulness of this place just captures you,

you just sit and try to soak it all in. 

 And we did a little kayaking...

 ... fishing at sunrise...

...and crabbing.

Don't worry, Mr. Crab was released after

his picture was taken!

I don't think he is smiling!

 The cabins.

There even is a little beach in the park.

Magical Live Oaks everywhere.

 And no trip home is complete unless we stop 

in the "Big Easy".

Lee Circle with the Super Dome in the background.

 If you ever in New Orleans you should take the time to stop

at the WWII museum.

We spent all day and I think we still missed a few exhibits.

 And last but not least,

one of my favorite things

the "St. Charles Trolley". 

Sadly we are back home,

back to work and school,

but we are always looking forward to our next

road trip 

to

Louisiana!

To ya'll a wonderful weekend

and a great week!

Thanks for stopping by!
