Things That Go Splat!
The week of Halloween is here! I have my fake flickering orange and black candelabras going next to my creepy black tree and haunted house. My mind is on vampire and werewolf stories.

Day #19 Loopy Day
LuAnn pushed the loop closed at the back of her ear, and listened for the quiet click of earring. Her eyes went to mirror and then the empty spot next to her.

Today’s word goes along with the beginning if the weekend. In my mind, I picture everyone rushing to and from work with extra speed today because Friday is finally here.

Wednesday #13 Roof
The rough, tongues lay quietly underneath my flannel pajamas as I listened to the first birds beginning to wake from from their sleep.

Day #9 of InkTober and Preptober!
Friday nights during the month of October are about baking pink glittered brains inside my clay oven until midnight. I fill witch’s cauldrons with sparkling green goo bubbles.

Friday is Day #8 – Watch
Last night meant late hours because my art muse decided to stay awake and create a miniature cauldron of green, glittery goo.
