Trick-or-Treat?

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween to all! Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was a kid, I looked forward to all of the Halloween activities that would happen. From decorating our house with big poster pumpkins, to the school Halloween parade, carving pumpkins and of course, trick-or-treating! Later on it was the Halloween dances and parties that I looked forward to. There was one year in particular when my sister Tiffiny and I were in high school that stands out. She was a junior and I, a sophomore. We decided to have a joint Halloween party. Not sure how we ever got my parents to agree to that one! During the party, my sister and I decided to play a trick on some of our friends. My parents had acquired a cardboard stand-up from the video store of the lady from Throw Momma from the Train. If you have seen that movie, you know she's not a happy looking character. We decided to place that cardboard stand-up in the downstairs bathroom in the bathtub. We had the shower curtain drawn just enough so that when you walked into the bathroom, you didn't see the stand-up. However, once you sat on the toilet, you got a great view of the momma. We were giddy with anticipation just waiting for someone to discover our trick. And discovered they did. Well, shrieked with fright actually. :) It started a chain effect. Once someone was startled by it, they'd get an unknowing friend and send them to their fright. Screams and laughter were coming from that bathroom all night long. It was a great night! Now, many years later, I still love Halloween, but I get to experience it all over again with my daughter. Now I get to go to her Halloween parades and go trick-or-treating with her. I love it!

Since it's Halloween today, I've got a couple of Halloween cards to share with you. This first one uses one of my all-time favorite Halloween stamps, Mummy from the Lizzie Anne Little People collection. You can find this stamp and all other Lizzie Anne stamps over at Gourmet Rubber Stamps.

 

This next card uses a Stick Chicks image entitled Spider. You can also find this image and other Stick Chick images over at Gourmet Rubber Stamps.
