Work It, Witch

Mornin' y'all!  Ryan's school is having a dress as your favorite character day so he decided to wear his Iron Man costume to school today (and he plans to wear it to school again tomorrow).  This is the conversation we had this morning as we were getting ready to head out the door:

Ryan:  You know, Iron Man doesn't have to go to school...
Me:  Sure he did.  Where do you think he learned the skills he needed to build his suit?
Ryan:  They're not teaching ME that stuff at school.
Me:  You have to learn the basics before moving on to advanced mechanical engineering, kid.

Nice try getting out of school, but it didn't work.  Anyway, I'm back with a fun Halloween card today.  I know it's too late to send anymore out this year but I'm working on a stash for next year.  Here's my fun witch:


I used the most excellent sketch from the Paper Players:


And it's still spooky season for two more days so I'm entering this at Inkspirational:


And finally, I just had to use a witchy stamp for the Cupcake Inspirations color challenge:


I used Lemon Lime Twist (kind of edging into Granny Apple Green), Gorgeous Grape, and Basic Black for my colors.  I had lots of fun putting this one together : )

We all went out last night to look at shower tile AGAIN and the hubs and I managed to choose tiles that both of us are very happy with, so I'm calling that a win.  And I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that we'll have a functional shower before Thanksgiving.  Wish us luck!

Have a great day, peeps.  Um, I might need to watch Hocus Pocus again today : )
