Trick or treat, trick or treat. Give me something good to eat!
I’ve managed to stay away from the candy so far–but it’s still early. Normally I stock up around this time for the Trick or Treaters and end up eating all the candy before the 31st. Invariably, I end up running out to get some more at the last minute. This year, I’ll just wait until the last minute buy the candy. That should save me a few thousand calories!
My favorite costume that I remember growing up was a pumpkin costume that my Mom made for my Dad. He wore it every year–didn’t mind looking ridiculous. When my boys were little, I found some hand made pumpkin costumes at a craft show. I found this picture recently of my oldest son, Scott, taken when he was in kindergarten. Isn’t he a cutie!
I also made a larger jack -o- lantern costume that my husband wore for years. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture. Maybe I can get him to put it on again this year so I can document it for posterity.
I love these Halloween creations. Pam I am going to try gauche for my backgrounds on aquabord. Will let you know the results. I am looking for an even background.

I’ve heard of gauche, but don’t really know what it is. Is it water based ? I am really frustrated with my backgrounds–especially when painting around things– so hard to keep it even. I was just about to try acrylics. How is gauche different?

My cheeks hurt from smiling at his cuteness. He’d have been my kindergarten boyfriend.
…and lest anyone get the wrong idea, that adorable pumpkin is my husband!
