October 16th - Day 16 of 31DOH

Well... it's DAY SIXTEEN of Smeared Ink's 31 Days of Halloween...a huge blog hop for you to enjoy every day
 ALL THROUGH OCTOBER !!



Hump Day - 15 days gone and 15 more after today !!

Hope you are hoppin'!
The blog roll is on my side bar -
 if you are hopping in order your next stop is Creepy Glowbugg!

BY THE WAY - I am really appreciating the lovely comments you are leaving me!!

Anyway - more fun today - with skeletons...


This was me, my grandson and his sister messing about in onesies in July (in Australia!)

Actually I was thinking about craft activities for the kids to do at the Halloween party!
I am sure you have seen paper plate skellies on the net?
Anyway this is one:


My inspiration came from here.

I got my daughter to draw round her hands and feet (they are smaller than mine!)
I love the way the toes curl up!!


I chose a sugar skull for my skellie - I'm afraid I have no idea where this came from - it was just amongst my digital images on my computer


It is all fastened together with treasury tags (very easy).


I decided to give him the 'Alas poor Yorick!' look:


 This skull is from our own Lisa Tyrell over at Left of Center, coloured with Promarkers.

This is an idea of what he might look like hanging on the door in the dark...


I also have a little ATC to share with you this morning.
I used Delicious Doodles Halloweenie Crazy Chemist coloured with Promarkers.

(This image always makes me think of my daughter(!!!) as she teaches chemistry.)

I started with a black 2.5 by 3.5 in card base, adhered the image, added googly eyes
and Hocus Pocus - from a Halloween sheet by Best Creation Inc.
(I just came across a few of their 12 by 12's yesterday at Mary Rose in Derby Market Hall)


This is intended for this week's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge!

See you tomorrow!

Happy Crafting!

    Hocus Pocus is wickedly cool.
    ah - those days when the grandkids grow taller than us!
    I admit I had to look up Treasure Tags. I did not know the term.
    I had not seen a paper plate skellie. You set the bar high with yours.
