  Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! 👻 He's back (and in triplicate)! First a pumpkin, then some chalk art, and now...a Beetlejuice baby! I told you I'd deliver all three! 🎃 Spooktober has been treating me well so far, though we haven't hit up a haunted house yet. Tonight's the night! 😈 I just LOVE the Halloween vibe. Big shout out to everyone who goes all out with the decorating, creating, and spooky scenes. One of my favorite things is cruising around and checking out everyone's Halloween spirit. Sadly, I see less and less of it every year, so I extra appreciate...

Zombie baby

Halloween has passed and she's lready packed up away for next year. I wanted to share my little creation. Sometimes I like to get a little crafty. Mostly daily in some aspect. This one took me a week. It started with a head from value village, pieced together with Carol air dry clay, acrylic paint, a child's onsie, fake dollar store limbs, prep on nails, mod podge, fake eyelashes, a pillow, string and a whole lot of love and patience. It started from a vision and a thrift find.  Zooooombie, in your head.
