Continued From Last Fall

 I have picked up the Halloween Ornaments by The Cricket Collection/Cross Eyed Cricket. This was as far as I got last Fall.
I hope to finish them this year.. 
Ghostie needs to be finished. I hope to finish him this weekend. Then I will be on to Batty. Cute bat.. Then it will be time to finish them off as ornaments. I bought a cute Black Halloween Tree after Halloween last year! Can't wait to finish them and put the little tree up with my ornaments on it.
I painted my frame for the Halloween Garden. I hope to get it framed in the morning.. Considering it is 10:28 pm central time. I painted the wood frame with a brush.. I am wondering if a spray paint might be better for frames.. Any tips from bloggers will help alot. Just trying to figure how to cut time...and what might work better. Please let me know from your experience. I am trying to make it kind of rustic. I will sand around lightly on it before spray sealer on it.  I will post picture when it is in it's new frame..
Till Later.....

oo like your halloweenies ... I've used spray paint before on frames but I think you will get a more rustic look with a brush and paint.. you would need to spray in a well ventilated area .. well away from anything else (or use the inside of a large cardboard box as the back drop)
hope that helps a bit :) love mouse xxx

Looks like a lot of work, but the results are truly going to be worth the effort. Loving the rustic style too!
