I am still stitching away and hoping for treats rather than any tricks.😁 I have one more stamp to share for this year. It is Oct. 31 Stamp- just a simple stitch with a jack, a ghost and some sweet treats.

Halloween Stamp Sampler - Header and Borders
 |
| I used my Little Jack Trifle as a scissor fob. |
I have already worked out 3 additional stamps, but I will save those for next year's treats. 🎃🎃🎃🎃
 |
| I stitched the Header to make into a pin pillow. |
Now tell me . What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Mine? Hmmm ... well as a kid I always enjoyed bubblegum or Smarties. Of course, Tootsie Rolls ranked high on my list as well. Living out in the boonies, we did not get to go trick or treating often. Any sweet was a treat back then. 🍬🍬🍬🤗
Thank you for dropping by for a visit today. I will keep it short and sweet for there is Halloween stitching to get to!
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all

Aaw you are so very welcome, dear Isabel and thank you for the sweet visit. Have a very lovely day . Warm Hugs and Blessings.
Delete"How does your cauldron grow?", I love that!
ReplyDeleteLOL that name came to me in the middle of the night. Isn't that the way it always happens? Thank you so much , Jenny for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteCute October 31 stamp. Thanks. Love the candy corn. K from NY
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you so much, K. It was a quick stitch which I enjoyed very much. Candy corn is a favorite of mine too. I also like the Autumn Mix -so yummy! I hope your day is off to a lovely start. It is beginning to feel like Fall here. Warm hugs
DeleteI always went for hersey's with almonds or mounds bars...today it's Health and Snickers--
ReplyDeletegotta love that chocolate;))) Lovely 31st stamp...your works are just so original and lovely...
Hugs to a real "sweetie" Julierose
When I was young Hersheys with almonds was a big thumbs up for me - well still is . But gosh, it is hard to resist a Snickers - it is a staple here . The grandsons love it as a treat every now and then along with Twix. LOL Thank you for bringing a big smile to my day, Julierose. You are as sweet as honey as well. Big hugs from the holler.
DeleteMy favorite Halloween candy was Candy Corn. Unfortunately, it is loaded with Yellow Dye which I am very allergic. Now, my favorite is Chocolate Payday. Your latest Halloween stamp is perfect! I am designating you The Thrift Shop Queen! You find the best things, especially your new little cabinet! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh Gail, we discovered Chocolate Pay Days last year and fell in love with them. When we were in AZ we bought a big box of them and have been rationing ourselves- LOL- they are soooo delicious! Aren't they? Aaaw shucks, I will take "The Thrift Shop Queen " title. Hee! Hee! I thought the little cabinet reminded me of a small pie safe . I just could not leave it behind though where I am going to put it - I have not a clue. LOL. Happy Happy Wednesday and thank you for brightening my day. Hugs.
DeleteMy favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups - I especially like them in white and dark chocolate. Snickers and Butterfingers are a close second. I am too fond of candy. October 31 is too cute - I am just beginning to stitch the header and borders. Thanks for the post. Alicia
ReplyDeleteAaw Reeses- Yes! That is my oldest daughter's all time favorite. Have you tried the Oreo Reese's Butter Cups yet? They were yummy , but I still like the original. I am like you - very fond of candy, but here lately I have been having to limit myself. I am so excited you have started the sampler, Alicia. I just figured out where I am going to put my little stamps on my big sampler last night. I will post it soon. I hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful day and thank you, dear. Hugs
DeleteYour Oct 31st stamp is adorable, Melisa! And that Halloween header, too. Such fun little designs all over it. Have fun with your new cabinet - we'll enjoy seeing how you decorate it!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Diann. It was a quick stitch which is right up my alley. I hope to get to the task of finishing some pieces here soon. Isn't that cabinet cute ? Still debating on what color to paint it. Warm hugs and Blessings.
DeleteWhat a fun Halloween stamp that you shared! When I was a kid, it was a candy apple. My grandma used to make them. Now a days, I'd rather have a helping of cobbler or a crisp instead of a piece of candy.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAaw that is such a sweet memory, Terry. I bet your grandma made the best candied apples. It was always a treat if we received a candied or carmeled apple as a youngin' . I haven't had one in years. Hubby made an apple crisp the other day- it was yummy! Thank you for the sweet visit. I hope you are having a delightful day. Hugs.
DeleteSo much cuteness happening!!! You are a design and stitching machine, Mz Thang LOL I love it all and everything. Big Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteHi, what a fun stamp. Must stitch it. For this year too late, cause I am in a little stress. You know the witches arrive on Fri
ReplyDeleteday. Oh Melisa you should see my house. Come over, you are invited. Favorite candy? Candy Corn (didn't get here) and the candy with the hole.
Big hugs, Gabi
Muchas gracias por tu creatividad y tu generosidad!

Another cute stamp that I will have to stitch someday. And love that stitching for the header, another must!! Thanks for keeping me in stitches, LOL. What did you use for the black trim on the little ones.
ReplyDeletegood morning sweet Melisa.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the October 31st project. I love it. it's a cutie. i am going to have to check and see if i have all the stamps. i have paper everywhere. i never got my files sorted - so now i have a dilemma. what do i print? i don't remember ever printing the header. have you posted that project? sorry to be a pest.
today i am going to a friend's house to visit. she just lost her husband about two months ago and she is very lonely. she was married for 62 years. it makes me really sad. i'll go over and bring her an iced coffee - that will bring a smile to her face.
sounds like your itchy feet have settled for a month or two. give your big ol' red truck a little bit of a rest, but Mr. Pinker just may say load up the truck honey - it's to get rollin'. i wish i could travel. maybe later. i always wanted my husband to drive one of the big rigs for work. i'd be sure to accompany him on runs so i could see the united states, too.
i love your thrifty find cabinet. that is definitely an oldie. i like it so much.
i hope you are doing well. our weather has changed into a santa ana and i am having a challenge breathing. i have asthma and this weather is no, no, no, not good. it makes it very hard to get a deep breath. the santa ana is expected for three or four days - enough time to do my body damage, but i have my tools to aide in my breathing efforts. i'll be as good as new in no time - just please go away santa ana. we had been having very beautiful weather and we'll have it again. how's your weather - has it cooled down a bit?
well Melisa i guess i better get moving. i have lots to get done prior to my leaving for a friends. oh i forgot to tell you - i am picking up a quilt that i made with a santa stitching on a quilt from the long armer. i can't wait. i'm so excited. i hope you are getting lots of quilting and stitching done.
stay safe Melisa. have a wonderful, blessed day.
blessings and hugs are on the way to you!!!

What a sweet little stamp! We've already trick or treated around our neighborhood - they always have theirs the Saturday before Halloween. We took our grands, and they "generously" gave us the candy they didn't want - lol! I like Milky Ways and Three Musketeers, but we have gone through a bunch of bags of candy corn this year! Shame on us!
ReplyDeleteAdorable stamp! The new little thrifted cabinet is a beauty, Melisa. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Oct. 31 Date Stamp. Perfect and so cute! Love your latest thrifty finds. I have a duck similar to your rooster. My little duck is a cream pitcher. I really like the little cupboard. What color are you thinking to paint it?
ReplyDeleteCute stamp. I love your new thrifty finds, especially that little cabinet! Hugs, B
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute one, Melisa! Will definitely add this one to the pile of others I've chosen to stitch for my little grandsons :) Thank you so much! ♥
ReplyDeleteOct 31st is an adorable little stamp. I love the Jack in the center of the O. I also love how you designed broomsticks for Ls in the pinkeep. Thanks, as always, for sharing your gifts!!
