Happy Halloween??

That's right!!! I started making items for Halloween.

You may think it's a little early to start thinking about Halloween, but I want to make sure that I get everything I'm making done in time to add to the Etsy store and that the items can be ready to be delivered in time for Halloween.

So far I have designed two invitations and I also have made one greeting card. I also have been planning all the other items I will be making.

Here is a sneak peek at the two invitations!

This is the first one:

Don't forget to check back soon for more updates and to learn about new items I have made.
