forever Halloween friends ...

Forever Halloween gourds looking for a good home! Born and raised in McPherson, KS, made it all the way across the USA to the East coast to obtain a personality. Painted by me and embellished with custom Dana Bates beads ...

bats, ghosts and candy corns


perfect Halloween party hostess gifts

you'll never have to buy another pumpkin again

spiders everywhere

best friends (the uglies)!

created ...

... this little tag for some Halloween gourds

that need to find good homes ...

waves kiss your feet ...

Roger rescued this piece of driftwood for me (from a secret place)

but it needed a message ...

waves kiss your feet,

sand is your seat

and your friends outnumber the stars

Bella approves!

(perched on the table with her pumpkin)

"don't you just LOVE my mom's stuff?"

love,

bella
