Thursday...

Art class on Thursday and I just about finished my apple painting.  Meaningful subject to me, as the apples are from Julie's apple tree.

In the afternoon, we went to visit my cousin and her husband.  The trees were beautiful there...

and maybe some more ideas for artwork!

and on with October Journaling...

Things October makes me think about...

and my little witch chain silhouette.

Happenings of the month...the beginning of a painting, the Witches' Tea, baking, a mandala, and Danielle's birthday.

Plays, skulls and good books!

Grid and October poetry.

A busy week of creating: collages and creatures for books.

and my Halloween card!

Last week's Collage Class...

Autumn collages and Lora Lee finished a lovely one using a photo she took from her garden.

Sandy chose this scene that just gives such a feel of serenity...

a beautiful path leading to the light.

Teri, making decisions 

and changes as her plan evolves.

Maryann's collage took a turn...

and we love the result.

Lora Lee, working on a new one.

Peggy's wonderful turtle see a bug.

Collage today!

Collage class today and I can't wait to see how everyone is doing!

Here is mine, yet unfinished, but working on it...

The Witches' Tea

Time for the Witches' Tea at The Center and our cackling greeters with Spider Cider.

My two favorite little witches

Danielle...

and Kassidy

100 cackling witches attended this yearly event!

Lots of goodies for the witches to gobble up 

with the aroma of lemon verbena tea from 

The Center's garden.

Everyone decorated their own little pumpkin...

 and we were treated with a wonderful storyteller, Megan Wells

who told the real story of the good witch and the bad witch 

from The Wizard of Oz. 

A ferociously festive afternoon!

Last week's collage class
