Spirit Clay: December 2009

Last December I went to The Avenue (36th Street) in Hampden, Maryland with my daughter and her best buddy. This house was just off the Ave. I want to live here...forever!

Welcome to my blog! It's all about art, whimsy and Halloween!

My first memories of Halloween involve my dad making a spooky short film with my older brothers' cub scout troop. We had an unfinished wall in the basement that he drew a cemetery scene on and he directed the boys to walk warily into the "graveyard" where a member of the troop was waiting to pop up wearing a mask to scare them. The old 8mm film had no sound, so the boys had to be very melodramatic. It was a hoot!

I remember a cardboard box robot costume with blinking Christmas light that Dad made for my brother, Mike. Dad always collaborated with Mom for any sewn bits of costumes. Mom was a patient and talented soul, herself. We always had way more fun than a person should have at Halloween!

If you love Halloween as much as I do, you'll want to check out the blogs I follow!
