It is time again for the CTMH SOTM blog hop! This stamp set is perfect for all of your Halloween ghosts and ghouls and with so many CTMH consultants participating - you are bound to find at least one NEW Idea!If you have been hopping along, then you have arrived from Jen's blog and checked out here terrific project. As for me I have lots of vintage Halloween pictures and so I am trying to sort them out and get them into the correct albums. This layout is for my oldest son Kevin's album from Halloween 1976! My dear mother passed away last month and it does my heart good to see how much she was a part of all of her grandchildrens' lives. Plus a snapshot of Kevin with Grandmas Brill - my children are very lucky!

This layout is from the new Magic Book and includes my swap item from Jen Rubio's SOTM swap.

Halloween is my FAVORITE season of the year - it is all about candy and making a costume for my boys! OK - they are all grown up now but I still love the season! I get very sentimental when the stores start stocking the shelves with Fall and Halloween decor! Just the smell of cinnamon sets my heart a flutter..... So naturally my project is a Halloween card (be sure to look for more items coming your way - SOON!)
