Happy Halloween-Tricks & Treats, & a Freebie!

It's hard to believe Oct. 31st is just around the corner. We are a big Halloween family here-and I love to dress my kiddos up in coordinating costumes. We've done the Wizard of Oz and Fairytales in recent years.

To celebrate the season, I've created a new Mini-kit called "Tricks & Treats."

It's available over at Digiridoo Scraps and right now it's sale priced for 25% OFF! You can pick it up right now for under $3.00.

I will pick one random winner to receive Tricks & Treats for free if you leave me a comment here on my blog. You can tell me your favorite Halloween costume or tradition if you'd like-I'd love to hear about it!

I scrapped a page of my oldest daughter and her cousin from way back! It's so hard to believe she was ever that little-yet it seems like just yesterday!

And as a freebie for you I have turned this page into a Quick Page. Special Thanks to Sharon over at DRS for allowing me the use of her AWESOME template (which you can pick up over at the DRS Template Challenge thread here-and please do post it if you use it!) If you haven't checked out the challenges over at DRS, you really should. There are many prizes available-including GCs to the wonderful DRS shop!

There are many, many things that make our lives much easier here in Virginia today. For our family, it's our minivan! With three kiddos-all still in car seats-we'd be so lost without it.

Okay, here's what you've probably stopped by for-MY FREEBIE! It's a set of two wordart titles that can be used by themselves or together on your layout.
