What's not to love about Halloween? For 18 years we had a childless marriage (miscarriages) and then BAM! Surprise?! LOL. Finally I get to experience everything through a childs eye and Halloween is the best. Well actually Christmas is the best but Halloween is a close second. :) I just love how my son gets so excited and that kind of joy is contagious. Now on to your cards....LOVE! I want that tree in the first card, the second one is gorgeous but not sure I could get the nerve up to use that stamp *grin*. So envious of your copic skills in the 3rd. One of these days I'll learn how to color....(sigh)

Please email me at shilomiles@hotmail.com with your name and shipping address so I can pop these beauties in the mail for you!
