Yes, you will. It’s basically mixed media in a 5x7 shape. Hahaha!

I received from @AIMR! Gotta check my mailbox more often. This arrived yesterday and I had a chance to pick up mail. It was overflowing! I haven’t checked in a week.
Anyway, Jack Skellington! Yes! I will never grow tired of him. Next time, I should ask for Sally so I can have a balance representation of NBC. I love this and I can even hang on wall since she added a hook. Thanks so much for swapping with me, @AIMR!

No, I didn’t that is so cool. A bit of animation is definitely amazing! Takes it to another level. Thanks!

Here is my house from @Reese52
She had fun with my Munsters theme! If you are unfamiliar, The Munsters is a television show from 1964-1966 that featured a family of very nice “monsters” and their normal-to-us-but-weird-to-them niece in the top left. It’s campy and fun. I loved it as a kid.
There is a fun part to this that she’s going to post and I want to know how it is done!
She sent a cute card and paper ephemera as well.
Thank you, Reese52!

@irid3sc3nt this was fun to make! I got the idea from another swap called Crafts in Motion. Here is a video of the automation:
I’ll post a separate thread later today on how I made it.

Here is my house from @RagingSloth
She went with my cat theme and created a piece that looks like stained glass! It’s very vivid in person. I took a photo of it with and without the sun. The white streak on the cat in the non-sun photo is a reflection occurring from the plastic.
I was going to ask what makes the bricks look very brick-ish, but she already answered in her stand alone post–spices and mod podge! Do I need to start hoarding old spices when I replace them?

Lol I haven’t been hoarding them. I just used what I had. It was less than a half tsp from a big $3 bottle of Trader Joe’s pumpkin spice so I didn’t feel like it was a waste even though you can’t smell it.

Wowzers! Lovely house and I adore your chunky village!
Just in time for Trick or Treat!
Thanks, @irid3sc3nt ! I am always delighted when I get my black cat theme picked! The repurposed jewelry is lovely and adds a sparkly note to the house! I dunno…they look pretty real…are you sure you didn’t send me a million dollar house? 
And, a bag of Halloween treats! I feel like I should be making something from all of this…
Hope everyone is enjoying a few pieces of candy! I know I am! Happy Halloween!
