RTT- Random Halloween Thoughts


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)

Think she'll forgive me if I sent her one of these cool cards from The Mental Kavity?

  4. What fun Stacey! I grew up in Iowa and Halloween was a big event there too. The last year I lived there I handed out over 150 treats. Everyone decorates their houses. I miss it. These goodies you found remind me of those days.

  15. Handsome Devil is most thrilled to be amongst such fascinating company - thanks so much for including him! Halloween is my favorite holiday - no presents to buy, no annoying relatives, lots of candy and you get to be somebody else - there's just no downside to all that!
