The Perfect Day ~

The perfect day to receive this perfect gift from my BFF Denise. Its been pretty heavily raining here in CT for about 3 days now. Which is fine because we need it.  And I do love good rainy sleeping weather. When I woke up this morning it was soooo dark, humid, pouring rain and spooky.....my kind of day.  I knew instantly what Roro (2.5 year old daughter that gives me grief about everything) and I were going to do today. Get out the Halloween decorations and start spookin' up the joint.  Then make some cupcakes, a walk in the rain and maybe a Dora Halloween DVD.

Well, a few hours later, its still really windy and spooky outside ~ I mailed out some orders ~ put up a few decorations (Rowan lost interest after the bouncy spider) the cupcakes will wait till brothers come home from school ~ we did take a walk outside the blustery streets with our umbrellas, which I have to say was pretty fun. But the BEST, and I mean the BEST part of my day was opening my mailbox and seeing the familiar writing on a package for me. Denise and I shared some pretty fun Holidays together - but Halloween was our favorite. She pulls off a mean Queen Maab (sp?) by the way. Since she has up and moved to Montana, we correspond often and send/receive many small gifts throughout the year.  Just take a look at these great ATC's she made for me. As well as an amazing person ~Denise is an accomplished paper artist and when she has time, she makes amazing paper crafts for FrenchBleuVintage.com. I begged her to make more of the Holiday Tag Cards that she made last year and she did. I'll put them in the "Papier" and "seasonal" section very soon. At this time, I only have 4 sets (she is wicked busy these days) so if you are interested, shoot me an email before they even get to the shop. I just love my ATC's and may be able to grovel and beg for her to make a few for the shop ~ you can never have too many ATC's. She also made these super cool banners which I need to take better photos of: SPOOKY & MAGIC , also on sale at the shop. 

Thank you Denise - your gift made my day just a wee bit more spooky. And you know how I love spooky.
