ATC - Witching Hour

Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful...

2 days before Halloween and this is my front porch! In Parker, CO we've had 22 inches of snow and it's still falling. The last time we had this much snow the week of Halloween was in 1997. Luckily, most of my elaborate decorations are in the house, lol.

I certainly got my scare for this year!

1920s Witch Tally

I found this witch tally on Ebay several years ago. It's my favorite as I think the graphics are fantastic. This should be made into a stamp. No information on the manufacturer but it dates to the 1920s.
