Snowman Snowflake or Snowflake Snowmen? That is the question!

I listed a couple of these little snowman/snowflake pins/ornies on ebay the other day. These can be hung on the tree as an ornament or taken off the hang tag.....they're a festive pin to wear on your holiday coat! You get double duty from these little cuties. I've added some vintage mica flakes to give them that touch of shimmer like new fallen snow! Sorry the pics don't show the sparkly effect too well.

I hope you will stop by eBay and take a look at their auction..........

First Annual Gnadenhutten Lion's ClubTrunk or Treat....

This year the newly formed Gnadenhutten Lion's Club of which I am the secretary hosted the first annual Trunk or Treat in the parking lot of the Community Savings Bank parking lot located on the square and across from the fire station. Trick or Treat was from 6:00-7:30. This being our first one and being on a Saturday and a football game night too....we weren't sure what to expect as far as a turn out. We had 140 treat bags done up plus a bag of little candy bars of about 40 just in case we ran out. Well, by 6:35....we had run out of all our treats! Luckily, the other Lion's Club members had candy that they were passing out, so we were still able to give out treats from all the trunks. We were just in shock at the amount of kids, parents and 4 legged trick or treaters! By the end of the night, we were trying to guess how many there were and we were guessing the number to be somewhere around 300 at the least....probably more! So next year, we are making up at least 300 bags of treats.

We all had a great time and the kids and parents loved our idea of Trunk or Treat. I was so surprised that so few of them had ever heard of it before. The kids were so polite and I heard lots of comments about how nice it was and how much they loved the decorations.

I hope you enjoy the pics and if you live in our neighborhood..........you are more than welcome to come and join us next year. All you have to do is drive in, open your trunk and decorate it if you wish. We encourage the ones passing out candy to dress in costume too!

We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween too!

Jadyn & Mr. Pumpkin Head Scarecrow.........

I saw this pumpkin display in a friend's yard one day and I thought...what a perfect place to take a picture!

So, the other day I said to Jadyn.....come on! We're going to go take your picture with a scarecrow! Well, of course she said SURE....because she heard the word picture! The girl just loves to get her picture taken! She definitely does NOT get that from her Nana!

SO off we went!

After after having to practically force her behind those gorgeous mums.....I wondered why she was a bit hesitant.

And then her little voice said...."I'm scared." Awwwwwww!! I said it's ok....he won't hurt you.




Well you can tell that passed rather quickly as soon as I said, "Say Pumpkin Seeds!"



Just look at that big pumpkin cheesecake grin on her face! hahaha!


Happy Fall Y'All!!!!!!!!!

Haunted Houses & Vintage Halloween Costumes.......

Wish I had one that looked like these ones! I wonder how many little Trick or Treaters would be brave enough to come up and ring the doorbell?





Wish I had this costume to wear! You know what I never noticed until now? Her headpiece is an upside down bat! They just don't make kids costumes like this anymore!

Aren't they adorable? Can you just imagine their excitement for Trick or Treat back during the Depression?

And this is my all time favorite little girl! I know she isn't dressed up...but her victorian era clothing and that Jack O'Lantern with the candle in his mouth just melt my heart!

A pic of the most amazing spider web windows from the spookiest house I have ever been in! The Winchester Mystery House..........I would absolutely LOVE to be there to take a tour on Halloween night! If you are ever in San Jose, CA.....you absolutely must take the tour!


Trick or Treat my little dearies!!! CACKLE!!!

Trick or Treat....Paint My Face........

Doesn't take mch to make a little 3 1/2 year old happy! I think she's grinning from ear to ear just like the little JOL I painted on her face! Not much time for details when you're painting on a toddler.....lol She wasn't very happy when I washed it off while she was getting her bath though. Looks like I'll have to paint another one on her for Halloween night!

Happy Halloween!

An Amazing Halloween Celebration!

Stop by Vanessa of A Fancyful Twist's blog for one amazing Halloween Party!

I wish I would have had time to participate but these past two weeks have been quite hectic here with the trip to Northville, MI for Ghoultide Gathering, a show and the redecorating of the shoppe. Hope to make it next year!

Pandora Pumpkin Painting........

I've listed this little cutie in my ETSY shop. I wish I could get my camera to not make her appear so bright because she actually isn't. Believe me when I say that my pics do not do her justice. =D

Here's HER LINK.

Hope you have time to stop by and take a peek at her. She would love to grace your wall this Halloween season, but she's really to pretty to be put away when Halloween is over. SO I would leave her out all year round! ;o)
