My Black Friday Wish List

This is another alpha that caught my immediate attention...this SNOW CAPPED CANDY CANE alpha has me wishing for snow so I can make a page about it. There's a plain CANDY CANE VERSION, too, which offers versatility.

RandiOh's oversized monogram alpha has me buzzing with ideas for a page...

Winter is just around the corner here in my side of the U.S. I have my eye on Studio Line's wonderful new kit titled WHEN WINTER COMES...check it out at the store...there's even a free quickpage waiting for you there.

In the mood for something natural, flowery...then check out this fabulous kit by Soval! Colchique dans les pres is sure to put you in a springy mood in no time.

Black ppr., purple ppr. and fog from Fright Night by Kaye Winiecki & Studio Flergs

Awakening, a dramatic procession of the walking dead leading to the resurrection of Dr. Fright and the Deadman’s party.

When the clock strikes 6 p.m., the sun goes down and the ghouls come out. We watched as the park transformed from "thrills by day" to "chills by night" with The Awakening, a dramatic procession of the walking dead, a Thriller performance and the resurrection of Dr. Fright.

This guy was so good! He was my favorite! October 25, 2009 5828

Another page page documenting out trip to Great Adventure. The Awakening show at Six Flags Great Adventure is fabulous!

The wholesome wonder woman (Kaylie) was counting the days until she could return to Great Adventure’s Fright Fest. She wanted to see “The Awakening” show very badly. We arrived forty-five minutes early to reserve our spots. We were in the 2nd row and were able to see everything up close and personal. The music, the special effects, the smoke, the dancing, it was all perfect! We both loved the show and can’t wait to see it again. 5797

On Saturday, Daddy was raking the fallen leaves - Kaylie offered to help. She played with the garbage bag meant to hold the leaves, then ran up and down the sidewalk filling the bag with air, all while waiting for Daddy to gather them up in a pile so she could jump in them. She did everything, but help. :)
