Happy Sunday everyone!!  I am more than a bit late in doing today's post but we got up early and went to the greenmarket in Artur Nogeira , the town next to us.  We get greenmarkets every weekend here and, although they are pretty much the same as in the states, because we live in rural, agricultural area, we tend to get more than just your typical fruits and veggies.   Today, for example, I found someone selling - honeycomb.  Pure delicious honey...still in the comb...YUM! And another stand selling fresh bacon.  Well, not fresh....but cured by them, on the farm, from pigs that they raised themselves.  Sorry....but I love bacon.  And this fresh bacon is some of the best!! After that it was off to Holambra , the town on the other side of us, to get some plants and garden stuff.  I am here several times a month but today was the first time that I saw Christmas Cactus and Geranium in bloom but with different flowers than I am...

Happy Saturday everyone!  The creative mojo is still coming!  Today I have two more Halloween cards for you.  One of the problems with living in Brasil is not being able to get new stuff as soon as it comes out.  Or waiting weeks (somethings months) for packages to arrive and then having customs sock me with a huge customs fee.  At times I use older stamps or papers.  Like for these two cards.  I opened the box labeled Halloween and found some goodies I had yet to use.  The first card is a Halloween "spider web" card and is for the Mojo Monday 417 Challenge . I saw that my friend Justin had made THIS card for the challenge and wanted to join in with him.  I like tall and skinny cards.   I started with a white cardstock base, 5.5" x 7", scored at 3.5".  This card is 5.5" tall and 3.5" wide. Then cut a piece of black cardstock, 3.5" x 5.5" and adhered it to the card front. Then I used a sheet of "Frightful Words" ...
