..ooh, ooh witchy woman..

I'm totally getting into the Halloween spirit!! I don't even know if we will get any Trick or Treaters, because we've only been in this house for two years, and I wasn't home for Halloween either year. But I will be prepared anyway!! :D

Ooh, Tiffany sent me the BEST Autumn Goody Swap package. We're talking the cutest personalized Halloween cards, a great smelling candle in a ceramic pumpkin, Kit Kats, and a WHOLE bag of Peanut M&Ms. Hmm, where can I hide the bag so J won't find them? Mwahaha!


And she also sent me this totally rockin' bat ring..



Isn't it awesome?! I swear, I'm wearing it every day until Halloween. Thanks Tiffany, you're super rad!

And here is a pic of my rag quilt. It still needs to be washed and dried again for the "ragginess" to really look the best. But dang, utilities aren't cheap! :D



That's all I've got for tonight..

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all!

..winner wednesday..

Thanks to everyone who entered my 100th post giveaway. I hope some of you will continue to visit me every now and then :) I put all of the names in a bowl, and had hubby draw one out. And the winner is..



Congrats cpullum! Please email me your mailing addy at hayatiggs (at) comcast (dot) net.

Good news for me, I'm feeling better, and I finished my quilt last night. It needs 2 or 3 washings/dryings to get it to fray just right.. I'm only on number 1. So I will have a picture of it tomorrow. Got a few more things in the works, mainly for the numerous swaps I'm in.. Jing, I'm with you on the whole getting excited and signing up for a lot of them thing :)

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all! :)

..under the weather..

Well unfortunately for me, cooler temperatures meant me feeling blah all weekend long.


I didn't get to participate in ANY online World Cardmaking Day stuff. I'm so bummed :( I had such good plans to get all of my Halloween cards made. Hmph. Maybe I can get them all done this week.

Anyway, you still have until tomorrow to enter my giveaway! Commenting on this post will get your name in! :) And don't forget that for every person you send over here to my blog, you get your name in again :)

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all! :)

..feels like fall!..

Hello all my fellow goblins and ghouls! This is gonna be a short post because the weather outside is fabulous! It's cool and crisp, but still warm in the sunlight. My backyard is begging me to come play :) Just wondering how many of you are getting in the Halloween spirit? How many of you really decorate for Halloween? I don't mean put a pumpkin on the front porch and call it a night.. I mean really decorate? Here are some pictures I pulled from Flickr that might get you in the mood :)



1. Dread Spread (2), 2. Mantle Asylum (2), 3. Mantle Asylum (1), 4. its Halloween!!, 5. Untitled, 6. Untitled

Ooh, and is anyone else as excited about this as I am?!



And, they're re-releasing it in theaters this month... wait for it... in 3-D!!! Could this month get any better? :D

Ok, before I pass out from Halloween overload, I'm gonna get outside :) Don't forget about my giveaway too. You've got until Oct. 7th, and you can comment on EVERY one of my blog posts until then!

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all!

.. oct. 1 + 100..

Today marks the start of my most favorite month of the year. And, this also makes my 100th post! I just had to wait until today to make it. It's taken me almost a year to get to 100, but here it is! So, of course, I have to do a giveaway, right? :) Keep reading, the info for that will be at the end of the post :)

So since I blogged last, I had a family reunion, my niece's 11th birthday party, had to sub a couple of days, and got started on my fall rag quilt. Here is the fabric for it..



Those little crows are what started this whole thing.. They're just so cute :)

And here's me and my dad at the reunion..



See his shirt? Anyone still wondering why I'm named Harley? :D

Ooh, and check out what I'll be participating in..



It's going to be a fabulous blog-hopping Halloween party! You can join in the fun too, just visit A Fanciful Twist, and find out how. It's going to be Spooktacular!!! (Oh man, I'm SO glad it's Halloween season!!!) So make sure you visit me here, and visit Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist for all kinds of batty fun. Check out her blog anyway, she is wicked talented, and very inspiring!

**Still with me? :) I'll get to the good stuff then. 100 posts means I have to do a giveaway. And I won't make it hard on you :) Between now and October 7th, leaving a comment on one of my posts will get you an entry. That starts today, with this post, so here is opportunity #1. I don't know how many more posts I will make between now and Oct. 7th, but it will at least be a couple more.

Now, for extra opportunities.. Tell your friends I'm having a giveaway. When they come post, if they tell me you sent them, you'll get an extra entry. They will also get entered for leaving comments on my posts. So the more friends you tell about me, the more chances you'll get.

On Oct. 7th I'll randomly draw a name to receive some Halloween treats, and maybe a couple of tricks too!

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all!
