Happy October!


October has begun in perfection, with our first crisp day!
It has been in the high 80s here, and today it is in the 60s. So wonderful! As I mentioned in my previous post, the Maple trees in my backyard are beginning to turn color. Each day there are a few more leaves sporting seasonal attire!


I have finished filming all my class videos for my new class on Altered Domino Books at Creative Workshops. Yay! It was a wonderful experience and I learned a great deal more about editing and filming, even though I have been making videos for about two years. I think I am getting better at it! There are 8 videos in all! I am very excited to see what everyone in the class is going to make. 

Since I am done filming and editing...I had time to play and create something for Halloween! I had a great time creating this banner using Paperwhimsy images. The background to the banners is a new sheet Gale has created. I love it! All of the Witches are PW girls. The letters BOO I bought at Archivers.


To celebrate my class opening, I am having a giveaway of a Domino Book Kit. If you have not entered yet, go HERE to do so. You only need be a follower to enter. I will be awarding this prize by Sunday October 9th! When you enter, please leave an e-mail address so I can contact you.


 The witches in my banner are very chic. They design their own hats! They love netting, feathers and even rhinestones! Very fashionable I think!


 I have begun a little Fall/Halloween decorating with this banner. It now graces my fireplace mantle in my family room.  I have also added new candles and a plant there too.
Now all I need is to find a few pumpkins for my front porch!


I want to share with you a lovely gift I won during the Gypsy Dream Blog hop hosted by Celia at Adventures of the Striped Stockings.
Mina of Green Witch With Sprinkles offered this beautiful jewelry set and I won it! Yay!
Her gift arrived yesterday and I put them on as soon as I opened the package. They are so lovely and perfect for fall!
Thank you so much Mina!


Thank you all for stopping by!
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. 
Hugs,
Terri
