Samhain

This is our FAVORITE holiday. However this year more than in the past we are on a budget. Our budget just got tighter with the news of Ingers need for medical attention, but my kids were already given their budget prior and they are amazing in what they have come up with. they are in the finalizing process so when we get it together photos will follow. Don't forget your local Good Will's no telling WHAT you will find. Sometimes exactly what you already had in mind and other times new ideas pop up;0)
