Hallowe'en Greetings -Guest Heart Thursday



I love how this artist depicts children.  She's wonderful.  As are these kids.  You can find hearts here, of course--in the folds of those ribbons decorating dress and hair.  On the other hand, that pumpkin with his crown of leaves looks decidedly scary, don't you think?

Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

The Great Pumpkin -Postcard Friendship Friday #191


As a child, I loved Charles Schultz' cartoon Peanuts.   Of course, this postcard is not exactly the Great Pumpkin who broke the heart of poor Linus every year.  When I was a small child I loved Linus.  His love for the great Pumpkin made me smile.  That little boy had an unusual amount of hope and perseverance--and I admired him for it.

It was Linus who sadly said, "There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people:  religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."

To tell you the truth, the child inside still waits for the Great Pumpkin to appear.  (grin)  Perhaps this year he will! 

Have a great weekend!

Halloween Angel -Guest Heart Thursday



This lovely Halloween angel brings a bit of luck to October's fun.  I loved her wings.  It was easy to do a tiny bit of manipulation to bring out the hearts.  

I hope you have a GREAT day!

A Jolly Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #189


When I was a child, "us kids" loved to play beneath a tall fir tree in the woodlands behind where we lived.  We played there so often, the earth had become packed hard like a floor.  We would sweep the tree needles from the dirt floor with the fragrant ends of fir branches.

In October we sometimes would decorate our magical play place for Halloween.  Paper ghosts hung overhead from long pieces of thin string, jeans and shirt were stuffed to give the likeness of a scary headless man lurking in the shadows. There were places to sit, scraps of cloth spread over crookedly devised tables.  We had a some candles and carved pumpkins, of course.

But when it actually came time to go out into the forest on Halloween...in the dark.  We couldn't make ourselves move from the back porch to the woods.  We had so scared ourselves with ghoulish ghost stories and the like, we had become frightened of our own shadows!  Still--it was a GREAT deal of fun to decorate underneath that tree. 

Have a jolly Halloween and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
