Spooktacular Handmade Collection

Last Halloween, I was up in the Lake County, Orlando area and boy, do they know how to celebrate Halloween there, all of the homes were decorated to the point that I had to head out and get something for mine as well. Well, this year, I am in South Florida and the vibe is just not the same, it is a little sad, maybe it is due to the 80+ degree weather down here as opposed to the 60s a little further north, I am not certain, but am determined to enjoy Halloween just the same, so I decided to put together a handmade Halloween collection.

Now, to me, Halloween is the kickoff of the holiday season, right after Halloween we have Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years and we all know this time of the year goes by in a flash. I believe Halloween is thought of as all about the kiddies getting candies; however, this collection displays handmade items for everyone, including our pets. Okay, I know some of us consider pets to be our kids as well, except they don't eat candy, well, my little chi-chi will eat candy if she can, especially Sour Patch Kids, with popcorn! Here is a little something Spooktacular for all."

I am leaving you with a great video about the Haunted Mansion in Disney. I have gone on two occasions to Disney with my granddaughter (See trip reports) and both times, she has declined going into the mansion, this year saying "I will go later grandma, when I am bigger"...ah yes, the instant change of heart when seeing the dreary mansion. This was one of my favorite rides as a child, I also remember having the LP story, which I would love to find...even though I have no record player...(dern advance of technology!!) Anyway, this is a great clip (Note, there are two parts, both are really great) for all you Disney and Haunted Mansion fans. Lots of neat information. Until next time.
