Spooky Halloween

Happy Birthday To Me...lol

Yep, today is  my birthday

and I am celebrating by doing what ever I want....

well that is kind of not true as I am headed out of town soon

for a weekend at our lake house....

headed 'north' to see all the pretty Fall color

(ours has just started here...amazing the difference 5 1/2 hours can make)

I did however purchase my own birthday present.

I was outgrowing my present 'storage' of my Copics

and had ordered 2 sets of these from Joanns online as they were 40% off

But then, they had Copics for $3.14 each...WOW...so I ordered 24 pens

only of which 18 have shipped.....

but that meant I needed MORE storage...so I went back to Joann's online

and they no longer have them...but I found them at 

Consumer Crafts for just slightly more....and best yet,

I ordered them on Tuesday and they will be here on Thursday (today)

AND

they have $2 shipping all week...

like I said ...Happy Birthday to me...

and I am sure in awe of the FAST shipping...WOW!!

But, before I leave I had to join in this fun challenge  at

Addicted To Stamps and More 

as what an awesome photo inspiration

that will allow me to use some of my very many and very neglected

Halloween stamps!

I have had 'creators disaster' all week,
so I did this card 3 times and am still not satisfied with it....
I guess I need that little 'mini' vacation!

It is what it is...
I used 2 very old sets of Stampin Up for this card
House of Haunts
and Home is Where The Haunt Is

Well have to run as we have a birthday dinner in Indiana tonight.

Tomorrow (Thursday)..(can you tell I wrote this the day before)..lol
I have to pack and grab us some food to take
and make sure all the animals will be taken of while we are gone

Have a great week/weekend everyone!
