    Happy Halloween 2020!

    Oh, how I love Halloween! The sense of magic and spooky suspense, the crisp fall leaves that crunch under your feet while trick-or-treating, the costumes that come from all parts of the imagination, the candy, Mmmm, the candy, the amount of pumpkins you can hoard, the whimsical little decorations that come to life just like they did in my first ever stop motion video I made – as seen above! I’ve loved Halloween ever since I can remember dumping out my jack-o-lantern bucket of candy onto the green shag rug of my friend’s grandmother’s home, feeling warm and cozy after a cold night of trick-or-treating, trading favorite candies, and feeling…

    Halloween ‘Boo!’ Bags

    Halloween – I love Halloween! Memories of picking what I would dress up as (most often a witch) and getting ready that All Hallow’s Eve, going with my mom and meeting our family friends with excitement and a feeling of something magical to come, bundling up and crunching leaves underfoot while we sought out those small little lights on each porch that beckoned us to come and TRICK or TREAT, knowing which houses gave sweet, sticky popcorn balls and which were too scary to go up to alone. I was mesmerized by this one specific house with glass windows all down its front that lit up on that dark night.…
