    It’s Decorative Gourd Season

    I never thought I’d love Halloween so much. I’m not a huge fan of scary things or death. Who is?  I have a love/hate relationship with vampires and don’t even get me started on zombies. It’s all yucky as far as I’m concerned. However, I LOVE fall crafts! I love fall in general.

    I love pumpkins! Strangely, I’m not a big fan of pumpkin spice lattes though. I love the idea of them. It’s just…they’re too sweet!  I feel wrong saying that. What is wrong with me?

    Bug and I have been having a ton o’ fun doing crafts for AlphaMom. There was the Candy Crush costume, the Candy Crush jack o’ lanterns and Candy Crush puppets. We were on a real Candy Crush streak there for a while which is kind of funny since I’ve never even played the game.

    Oh yeah and Creeper jack o’ lanterns and Creeper Bell Peppers! Who knew food could be so scary!

    Personally, I love Snaily the best. As all gardeners know, he’s the REAL Terror of the Garden!

    Anybody have any special Halloween requests? We’ll be doing some costumes later this week. Stay tuned!

    hot enough for you?

    SAJ-hot

     

    It’s September and summer has finally hit. It’s funny how it’s been mild all through July and August and then BAM! It’s hotter than dog’s breath and humid too! So I thought I’d turn this late Indian Summer into my latest banner inspiration. As you know I use my banner art to create the calendars I sell every year. I wonder if it’s weird that my September months are always featuring hot summer weather when the rest of you are starting to think about leaves and crisp apples and warm hot sweaters. Not us, man. Not us…

    We are thinking about popsicles and icees and fans blowing inches from our face.

    p.s. like my gray hair? not that I look like SAJ in real life at all but…just thought I’d represent.
