I know most people are dreading the end of summer but I have had just enough of her icky hotness, hair wrecking humidity, thunderstorms and general attitude. Bring on Fall! Around here, the impending arrival of autumn means one thing: Halloween prep. Yes, I'm working up some ideas for this years festivities even now. Ive hit a few snags but Mr. L says I say that every year. Hopefully it will come together soon. In the meantime, I'm anxiously awaiting everything that comes with my favorite season (my birthday! my anniversary! cool weather! turtlenecks! boots! halloween!) including the arrival of my Holiday with Matthew Mead Autumn edition. Im sure its filled with all kinds of eye candy perfect for fall along with a couple of Halloween goodies as well. Matthew sent over a tiny sneak peak and now I'm dying to see the rest of this bat spread as well as all the other non halloween stuff that waits for me inside this issues pages. If you want your own copy, you can pre-order here.
