Hello Crafters. I'm behind on Blog posts - but Ive got a good excuse as Ive had a sick child for 5 straight days. He is weak but slowly recovering, thank goodness.

I've got a fun Halloween Card to share for the current House-Mouse Challenge over at HMFMC hosted by Teamie Sue Kment and themed FALL / Halloween.
