well...just for today. For years of my life, I hated Halloween. I have this thing about feeling stupid so I don't like to put myself out there. That and I was once jumped on Halloween. I grew up in a questionable apartment complex and there were some shady and unsafe sections. I was about 10 and trick or treating when someone in one of those demented bald-headed masks and a cloak grabbed me from behind. He tried to take my candy, but little did he know that you don't mess with a chick who loves her chocolate. I happened to have a hard candy apple at the bottom of my sack and I proceeded to hit him with it. I was not giving up that bag of candy. He ran away and I got home safely. I can't think about Halloween without recalling that memory.
I enjoy it now as the kids love it. What makes them happy makes me happy!
I really went off track...I am really here to post a non-Halloween layout I made using the new, ultra awesome Hocus Pocus collection. It is obviously a Halloween line, but the colors, graphics and shapes fit many topics. So I used it to showcase a real life moment.
Both of my kids have great pouts and I have been lucky to catch it on film! See what I mean about Hocus Pocus working well with this topic...the skeleton and Hocus Pocus words...It is a fab collection.
For more details, head over to the

Off to hit the hay and hope I don't have nightmares about my Halloween jumping!

ReplyDeleteanother gorgeous page stacey... and love how you used the halloween collections for everyday page :)
ReplyDeletefantastic page. I love that you used a theme line for something different. That shows so much creativity & inspires us to think outside the box too.
ReplyDeleteHugs for sharing your Halloween memory - that would be enough to turn anyone off of the holiday. It's amazing how our kids can change those deep seeded things in us.
Love it Stacey, I too adore the collections you can get milage from!! Great layout!
