This was taken in September of 1976, I'm not sure where, maybe at a school meet and greet? I wish I had a photo of her in one of her famous costumes. Miss you Mom.
Once she dressed up as a witch and sat on our porch with the candy bowl in her hands. She was so still that everyone thought she was a prop...but when they reached for some candy she would cackle, the screams were bloodcurdling. Then there was the year that she and my Dad strung a ghost on a zip line between trees and across the sidewalk so that when someone walked by they could let it slide in front of them. I know ...my family has a sick sense of humor :)
She used to sew all of our costumes or assemble them from odds and ends. Tweety Bird, Sylvester the cat, and a gypsy are a few I can remember. My sister can probably name them all but she hasn't reached the ripe old age of 47 yet and still has some vestige of memory left!
Here are a set of cards I made using an older, cute line from K&Co. Why do those embellishment packs come with so many in them? No one could possibly use them all!
The diecuts were perfect card size.
Remember those Doodlebug Frills on a roll? I finally used some!!!
This goofy little owl needed a branch to sit on. Cut one out using the Straight From the Nest Cricut cartridge.
Are you in a Halloweeny mood yet?

What a beautiful photo of your mother! hugs!!
Your set of cards are absolutely adorable!! I too love to make Halloween cards, but do you send them? I don't ever, lol.
Love your cards!! I don't really like the holiday but I think Halloween is my favorite holiday to make treat bags and cards for! :)
Great pic of your mom Beth and I really love your cute cards!! That owl one is especially my favorite!! :) I love this time of year too!!
Great memories of your Mom! I think we all had the homemade costumes at one time :) At least those of us that came from 'older' generation as my nieces and nephews point out :P
You're cards are just too adorable !
I adore your cards!! They are so adorable. I have some of those Halloween die cuts that I need to use up. Loved reading about your Halloweens past :)
These are just freakin adorable! I bragged on them on 2Peas too. I have that set of die cuts and you're right - it's a ridiculous amount. Right before I saw your posts in the 2Ps gallery, I had gone to Walmart tonight and they had a box of new K&Co. die cuts in the same type box of these. Ironic. :) These are just so great!
Super cute Halloween cards! You are really on the ball...WTG! Great photo of your mom. Thanks for sharing!
