A spread of Halloween cards - yellow moon, "happy halloween" stamped in black on an orange strip, a large piece of candy corn and a smaller piece of candy corn, also smiling, dressed as a ghost

Happy November! Here’s a look at the cards I made for October’s Card Club. Of course, I had to go with a Halloween theme. Inspired by my painted pumpkins, I wanted to go retro with these and stick to a…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
