This is my favorite time of the year. The weather is finally cooling down and I get 3 straight days of celebration. Halloween is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to dressing up my daughter, trick or treating and having friends over for dinner. Photos 3 and 4 are of one of my favorite houses to drive by on the way to school. I love how it's not overdone like some houses but it gives you a creepy feeling when you drive by it. It probably has to do with my fear of spiders. And the body encased in a web with little spiders all around it. Ewwwww! But I love it!The sugar skull and skeleton lady arrived yesterday in the mail and is from one of my best friends in the world. She was visiting from Boston a couple of weeks ago and although we had planned a night of mischief and mayhem, we ended up in the emergency room for some issues she was having. She sent this to our family as a thank you for taking care of her and it will lovingly be displayed on our Dia De Los Muertos altar this weekend.

Love, love, love the sugar skull and skeleton lady!! The colors are wonderful!! Enjoy your time off...you scored big time!
I want that sugar skull as a tattoo! awesome!
and the spiders are still giving me the willies, even though I've changed to the comments screen....
I would love to come to your part of the States during Halloween - it always seems so cool :) We just don't get into it as much here, but it's starting. I really like the more Mexican aspects of Day of the Dead, too.
btw, the wool for my Zig Zag socks you asked about, is The Knittery "Merino Cashmere sock" - Australian retailer, online, great service, VERY good prices for you in America now - check her out.
Happy Dias de los Muertos, Cher!
That house is perfect and the skulls are so pretty! I think I'll be making an altar for my grandma next year.
