'SIGN UP HERE' with a comment and send me your name/ blog or website address, and mailing address to debramschoch@yahoo.com ...... but for now here are some treats to get your creative juices flowing.. more on Thursday.

The theme is 'HALLOWEEN FLIGHT' add picture and link to your blog now if you want..

RULES OF THE GAME: YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE 3 ITEMS, 1. A JOINTED PAPER DOLL, [no taller than 12 inches.] 2. ATC CARD, signed by you.. and the third item . 3. ' A OWL' YOUR CHOICE OF ANY TYPE OF MEDIUM [ keep it under 12 inches] . Everything is due 'Oct. 15th'. Sign up will start NOW.. and ends 'Sept.15th'.. so that gives you a month...
