  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...

Creativity and materials was the key.It once was an old coffee shop sign but now it's down by the riverside.

One of my new favorite things to do is to go to a value village and piece together a character    Inside the Grinch we have two body pillows, one with arms. Wrapped all together with a child's onesie. The face and feet are made from a fluffy pillow split into three. The face is felt, eyes and light bulbs, all accented with black sharpie.
