Foamie Fun

I've always liked arts and crafts...all kinds. One of my favorite new playthings is Faomies. Those brightly colored, peel and stick foam shapes that you can use on (almost) anything.



A short time ago I got a bucket of Halloween Foamies...ghosts, pumpkins, houses, bats, crescent moons, trees, etc. and some large foam rectangles. I took them over to Jodi's house and the girls, the grandkids and I had fun making Foamie scenes on placemats.



A few days later I saw something on the floormat of the car. When I picked it up, I found it was one of the little Foamie bats. He must have escaped from the bucket of leftover shapes, or flown off one of the placemats. At any rate, I picked him up and stuck him on the car -- right under the radio. I don't think Jerry has noticed yet, but now we're driving a "bat mobile". :)

I've Only Just Begun

What better day to start a "web" page than on Halloween, right? Well, I guess technically it's a blog -- not a web page. But where's the pun in that?
So today is Halloween. It's also a Wednesday, so Jerry went to the grocery store for me this morning to get groceries...and our senior citizen discount. I reminded him to get SOME Halloween candy. Our house sits farther back from the road than any other house in the neighborhood and only a few small (and apparently hungry) tots go through the trouble of navigating our up-hill driveway in the dark. We usually only have about 8 or 10 Trick-or-Treaters. He came home with 7 bags of candy! We have Kit Kats, Butterfingers, NutRageous, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, a large bag of 3 Musketeers and 2 bags of Jolly Rancher Creepy Pops! He either intends to be VERY generous to the kids tonight, or he's taking advantage of the situation to satisfy his own sweet tooth (which will need a filling very soon). If there's just too much left over, I may be persuaded to help him polish off the chocolate. But he's on his own when it comes to the Creepy Pops!
