Are You Ready for All Kinds of Scary?

I just gotta say...I am having so much fun with this brand new 'Halloween Hauntings' rubber stamp set from Artful INKables. There are 11 fabulous images to choose from...I used 4 on this fun little tag. Along with the new patterned papers from Making Memories, a vintage button and some 'scary' ribbon,
it's a pretty simple 'make'.

Well, we are half way through the week...how is yours shaping up? Mine has been busy with business and personal things. Yesterday I gave you my morning 'play-by-play' and my UK friend Cal said that I have now "set the bar" for getting things done. As productive as yesterday was, today couldn't have been any more opposite, so I guess it was just a one time thing.

I want to thank those of you who expressed interest in The Play Date Design Team. I will be contacting each one of you personally over the next few days. I think it is going to be so much fun as we begin to present a new color challenge site
right here at The Open Window.

I mentioned last week that I was contemplating a move of my 'New Favorite Blogs' list to Thursday nights...and I have indeed decided to do just that. So beginning tomorrow night, you will find the feature being called 'Julie Ranae's THURSDAY night Favs'. I have a fabulous list for you tomorrow night, so I hope you will come by. I am hoping to post to you during the day as well as I get to share a 'little' news & photo about my 6 yr old grandson, CJ...can you guess what it might be? If you have been following along for the past week, it shouldn't be too hard.

Still would like to hear more from you regarding your 'favorite styles I have dared NOT try'. We talked a little about it yesterday, but if you missed it, just click here.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
