REVELATIONS AND AWARDS

Revelations and Awards

October was a month of Scaryness, Hardwork, and Sweets...

all these thing at my age.... I do not need but love ! 

One of my revelations is I think I have a alter - ego menopause ...

( and it's evil sometimes).

So sorry now if I say some things in this post that may just not be me.
I made a lot of new friends thru the year online...
saw a lot of great Halloween works and blogs
yet did not have time to visit them all and make my presents known or

even let some of them know I considered them a friend.

Now remember I do talk a lot, when writing...so deal with it !

One of my new friend is Jeanne...of The Candy Corn Chronicles...

http://wildwoodsartstudio.blogspot.com/
she has a good heart, whimsical art, and is hardwroking.

We both are members of Halloween Artists

http://www.halloweenartists.com/

and Jeanne does a great job with the monthly newsletter there,
how she finds the time...only witches and ghost know.
She scares me...LOL
But I would like to say to her now...
Thanks for all you hardwork, Jeanne...
 ( I will get you for this, by the way...LOL)

Well she has also met and made friend with other Halloween bloggers
and this one below gave her an award...

and she passed it on to me.
I don't know if that was nice or a curse...LOL

Oh well...if I must !

Now I must according to the award rules
 it says let 15 of my
favorite bloggers know how
I feel about there blogs and Halloween works.
( Do I have to?) dang it !
And then...pass this award on to them.
Yes , as the song says... " I'm putting a spell on you all ... " OK !


The rules are :

that gave you the award.
2.Share 7 things about yourself.
3.Pass this on to 15 great bloggers
