My Black & White Halloween Inspiration Post Was Featured! :0)

*


Hello Friends In Bloglandia!
*
This is just a real quick pop in post to toot my own horn & let you all know that one of my posts was featured today as part of a Halloween Inspiration Roundup Post on My Delicious Ambiguity! YAY!
*
The featured post is actually an older one- from last year's Halloween season. I love to share ideas, projects & recipes that I find inspiring- and that was basically what this post was about. It is no secret that I adore Black & White in my art & home decor- usually paired with red, pink- or at Halloween time- orange!

This year's Halloween decor is no different- and I have been busily crafting away the days amidst a flurry of paper, paint, glitter & fabric. (Hence the lack of blog posts lately!- but never fear- I will return with plenty of wonderful Halloween craftiness & inspiration in no time at all!)

And OH MY GOODNESS! just realized that in my complete focus on all things Halloween (& Samhain).... I have completely neglected to post anything Mabon related! To be fair- and a bit more specific- I haven't only been wrapped up in my Halloween crafting time warp- (although that IS my favorite pastime at the moment, and has filled my every possible spare moment since early August!)

No....I have also been busy getting my Kiddos back 2 school, with all that entails. I am also preparing for my next knee surgery which is to take place this coming Monday. I am REALLY hoping that everything goes as planned THIS time- as the last 2 times they prepped me had me waiting in the hospital bed for 5 & 8 hours respectively, AND THEN CANCELLED the surgery because of emergencies in the operating room. Apparently there were people with more life threatening needs than my own. I guess that happens more than I knew. I do understand that- and would want the same treatment if I or my family was in need.... it is just extremely frustrating, as well as inconvenient & disappointing. Not to mention painful, as I keep waiting to have my poor knee repaired. (Ugh.... it has been a year now that I have been dealing with my broken knee injury, and the surgeries & healing involved- I am MORE THAN READY to have this behind me!)

But- I don't mean to talk about all of that boring & depressing stuff here- I try to keep my blog for better pursuits than sharing my misery! I know all too well that we all have our share of it in this life- and that my own minuscule worries are pure heaven compared to what some folks must endure. That alone keeps my heart humble & grateful for the blessings in my life; and my thoughts on the positive things.... like family, and friends, and beloved pets, home & garden....and art....wonderful art to fill our lives with beauty!

Okay folks... nuff said!
