I know it's Random Tuesday but I've got Halloween on the brain.

So between rambling here are some goodies I've unearthed. Click on any image for more info.
When I was a kid Halloween was my absolute favorite holiday. Not for the sweets (though I certainly devoured more than my share) but for the projects & spooky stuff.
Plus it was the one time of year my morbid tendencies were socially acceptable.
I've always loved making things & I would start prepping for Halloween when school started each September. My mom was really crafty & we'd make tons of decorations. I used to spend hours coming up with new ideas each year.
Life really was much simpler then. I remember being so proud of my giant black squid made out of hefty bags & tinfoil.
Or how much fun it was to hide behind the woodpile at twilight with a sheet covered umbrella. When my little sister would come outside to get the kindling, I'd make spooky noises while opening & closing the umbrella, making my "Ghost" flutter.
Poor kid - I used to scare the willies out of her every chance I got. ( She tells me it is my fault she can't watch scary movies even now)

Great spooky picks and I love that silly story about scaring your sister. It always backfired for me while waiting to scare my sis I would get scared myself!
