Goodbye Summer - Hello Fall-o'Ween...

Summer is relentless in SOFL... seems like it never ends and this year it's blazing hot everywhere else too! Everyone is ready for cooler things like Fall + Halloween... all things pumpkin and spice. I love it! Gimme some googlie eyes, candy corn and some spooky fun crafty goodness and I am a happy camper.

 

I'm sharing a throwback card for Flashback Friday and to give everyone a heads up for a fun event I am doing with some Artsy Pals next week...  

 

YOU DO NOT want to miss the OFFICIAL kickoff of Fall-o'Ween!

Thanks for dropping by today. Have creative weekend and I look forward to seeing you Monday and I'll tell you more about it!
