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...

We both are members of Halloween Artists
and Jeanne does a great job with the monthly newsletter there,
how she finds the time...only witches and ghost know.
