Let's Make Some Noise



A Spooky Witch Clicker
Amazing graphics



Blow your horn!



Shake it up!

A Ratchet



Another Clicker

A Banger and Owl Click

Most of these amazing tin litho noisemakers are from the 1950's. Many are made my US Metal and were made in the USA. I think it would be great if these were once again manufactured. I think the clicker style would be perfect for the tricker treaters!

More Witchtastic Finds

A black cat apron! These should come back into style.

Black and Orange

My boys think they look like glazed sugar cookies. I wouldn't recommend that. I had some real kittens in my yard but I can't find them. With all the strays and barns here who knows where Gypsy put them. There was an orange one I named Pumpkin. Anyway I'm off to finish a Candy Corn with a darker side and some Cider and donuts. If you'd like to see the Black Cat he is here. Orange Cat is Sold Thank You!

Just some Wips

I've been working on lots of Halloween Ornaments trying to get ahead. I've got some: cats, scarecrows, skeleton keys, leaves, a harvest moon. The Jol's are from chocolate molds. It's amazing what you find when you start cleaning out the basement! The weathers been wonderful here and outside is where I'd rather be. It's hard to focus when the garden is calling.
My friend Wendy is having a dark and lovely giveaway at her blog. You must go see you won't be disappointed! I'm off to water the pumpkins so have a delightful day everyone!

Black Cats

I'm busy doing sets of my favorite Halloween characters. Black cats love them and not just for Halloween! I'm a cat person and once had 7 of them. How did the Black Cat become associated with Halloween? According to folklore every Witch had one or could shape shift into one. Black cats crossing your path is supposed to bring bad luck. Here where I live I know that some older farm houses used to bury a black cat under the front porch for good luck. For me they have always brought good luck and we still have them showing up at our door.

Pumpkin Butt and lots of Spooky Wips

I'm not sure why this guy is pumpkin butt he just is. He just sprouted from the patch. And yep I'm glad I added the eyebrows! I'm working on the other Pumpkin Man his body is a real stem! And lots of ornaments: cats, owls, skulls, jols, acorns. Wishing all a Springy Spooky day!

Halloween Clip Art Fun

Cat and Pumpkin die-cut
