Creative Challenge #70

Although I have not quite finished last weeks project I will add the new challenge.

This week our inspiration comes from the word "October". What inspirations to you get from this month. October is the month where leaves are changing and there vibrant colors seem to bright things up right before the cool winter sets in. In contrast to that beauty, there is Halloween! A night filled with ghosts, goblins and sugar high children. There is also Thanksgiving in October, this weekend, in Canada. I am looking forward to making a huge turkey dinner and eating until I can't move. Since I get the job of cooking, I don't have much on the clean up end of the meal:)

October is a busy month and there will be great and varied inspirations taken from it. I am looking forward to seeing each one!

The Creative Challenge was created by Jewelstreet, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=36577 , and continues to be a great way to expand your horizons every week.
