Pink Saturday, Sunsets and Blackout and Freebies

Happy Pink Saturday and Welcome new followers! And everyone :)

Strange goings on in Southern California...
First, there was RAIN on Labor Day :O
Followed by a week of 100 degree temperatures and 90 degree humidity!
It did make for some lovely warm Summer evenings
and for beautiful sunsets like this:







Oh yes, and then the Blackout!



I felt so cut off from the rest of the world...the radio in my car didn't work because the radio stations didn't have power...my cell phone didn't work even though it's WiFi...our phones are on electric chargers, and because they were out of juice we couldn't use those...so we really had no idea as to the extent of the outage or when it would be fixed...



We still can't use water from the faucet without boilng it for one minute.

Here's a couple of images to get you started on your Halloween crafting:

Have a great weekend, and visit Pink Saturday to view some lovely pinkness.

Spring Linky Party

Soooo, two linky parties today!! Party, party, party! :)

My "basket" is actually an embossed tin bucket,
I wanted to do something a little different.
I'm a rebel.

Here's a close up of the little May banner I made...I love it!



And an even closer-up view, just cuz she's so cute:



And packed inside:

Vintage doily, crepe paper, millinery flowers, and postcard.
Everything else was from an estate sale, thrifted,
or handmade except for the journal and rubber stamp.
And the candy. ;)

And just to make it more fun,
once the package was in the mail,
I sent Karen (my swappee?) this picture to pique her interest:


And the next day I sent her this:
