Countdown to Halloween Day 31!!

Countdown to Halloween- Happy Halloween!

      

Halloween is Here

by Debbie

 

It's time for Halloween,
A day for trick or treat,
When the kids dress up in costume,
And walk proudly down the street.

They ring a lot of door bells,
And collect a lot of candy too,
And if they happen to see a ghost,
They will be greated with a boo.

Pumpkins light up the windows,
And decorations adorn the front yard,
So be careful when you come in,
Because the skeleton will be on guard.

So go have a lot of fun,
And don't have any fear,
Because it will soon be over,
And you'll have to wait till next year.

National Cat Day- Cat Lovers Hop

Celebrating National Cat Day and the final day of the Cat Lovers Hop!

Cat Lovers Hop 
Thank you Janis!

From Wikipedia

National Cat Day was founded by Jason Merrill. It is a celebration that takes place on October 29th, every year in the United States. The National Cat Day website states that the holiday was first celebrated in 2005 "to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us." The day is supported by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a nonprofit organization which also works to encourage pet adoption.

 Here are 20 Ways To Celebrate!

Embrace Impurrfection

It is day 3 of the Cat Lovers Hop over @ Her Peaceful Garden! Hosted by Janis with some amazing sponsors! I am behind but catching up as a cat lover and with my new Tim Holtz Crazy Cats Stamps! I have been waiting for this hop, unfortunately life just gets in the way. 
     Today I am sharing my favorite thing to work on today which is tags!
I used squeezed orange, festive berries and bubble gum pink inks for the background. Stamping with Simon Says intense black archival ink.
     Crazy Cat was colored with an orange watercolor pencil. I drew faux stitches with black marker, added Tim's ideology word band with jute twine. Other embellishments- vintage button, ink stained seam binding, baby's breath, and white and orange netting material.

Vintage zipper incorporated into a paper envelope! I inspected and could not find any signs how she got it on there! I found out later she first stapled and then used hot glue (fantastic job- no signs of any staples or glue!)

Countdown To Halloween Day 25-Altered Paint Brush

Sharing an altered paint brush I made for my swap partner in the Vintage Halloween Loaded Envelope Swap, which was to alter an 6 x 9 clasp envelope, create pockets and load them with vintage Halloween goodies (sending mostly handmade items)
I altered the paint brush by spray painting it with black paint and adding squeezed orange ink spray by Dylusions just to the lower bristles.

Adhering a cute Best Witches wood plaque with tacky glue, and embellishing with multi color yarn and ribbons.

Day 9

Wikipedia-  Ifrit

The Ifrits are in a class of infernal Jinn noted for their strength and cunning. An ifrit is an enormous winged creature of fire, either male or female, who lives underground and frequents ruins.

 Ifrits live in a society structured along ancient Arab tribal lines, complete with kings, tribes and clans. They generally marry one another, but they can also marry humans.
While ordinary weapons and forces have no power over them, they are susceptible to magic, which humans can use to kill them or to capture and enslave them.
As with other jinn, an ifrit may be either a believer or an unbeliever, good or evil, but it is most often depicted as a wicked and ruthless being.
