This is my favorite time of year...I love fall, love Halloween, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vanessa's annual Halloween parties ~ they are truly magical.
For last year's party, because I was in what felt like a million swaps, I posted lots of pictures of swaps that I made and received. This year I only participated in one swap and I've already posted about it. So I've just decided to post a few things I've made recently.
I fell in love with these vintage images so I made a series of banners with them.
And for these...I really wanted to make over-the-top embellished witches, so I used some of my favorite jewelry on these banners...
Thank you all for stopping by!!!
If you didn't come here from Vanessa's party, it's a MUST...it is sure to be as amazing as always!!! There are also links to all of the other party participants on her blog!
Have fun!!!
Edited: I've had a few people ask, so...just wanted to let you know I've put these banners in my Etsy shop. Thanks for all of your nice comments!!!
