Halloween Past

  

1969  Before you could go to Target or Walmart and buy fake tombstones we had to build our own.  Look at that adorable boy – he's my 2 yr old!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We always made his costumes and he was so cute.  Here he is with his great grandparents on my way ahead of its time toile couch!

Then he grew up and became a werewolf and then Frankenstein and passed the werewolf costume to

his little brother.

 

Here's my little monsters together.

Well, they grew up and each had a son.  The two Brandons lived upstairs for a few years so I have tons of pictures of him….1996 - Tigger

   

1997 – He was Buzz Lightyear that year and I made a stuffed tigger looking out the window – he saw it and said  "that's me".      

1998 He was a cowboy

2001

a detective?

Creepy vampire

A pirate

2005 A punk rocker

2002 Then there's the little grandson – Q. He inherited a few costumes and of course I can't find my envelope with his pictures because I pulled them out 2 months ago to keep in a safe place and now I can't find them.

I feel so fortunate to have 2 sons and 2 grandsons…..considering I'm a nun!

Happy Halloween! xoxo Sister Nancy

31 Days Day 31!

Happy Halloween you Font Freaks!  Considering I managed to do about 21 days out of 31 days I guess that sort of makes me a font failure but as The Nester says…"it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful" or in my case it doesn't have to be perfect to be mediocre!

So I leave you with this one last link…What The Font?!##  If  you have a font you can't identify save a picture of it, post it there at What The Font? and eventually you'll get an answer from a fellow font freak identifying it.

Thank you to all who sat in on this class….you all get a 4.0!

31 Days – Day 30

Well now at the end of this challenge I'm posting a link that would have been wonderful to know about on Day 1!!!  But I only just found it and I'm still learning all about it but it is a wonderful free download that makes it a lot easier to see what each font looks like without opening a folder and trying to remember what and where to find the font you want to use.

C Font Pro and you download it here.

Try it!  You'll like it!

Happy Pink Halloween From Fancy Nancy

Last night I had bunco…I wasn't going to play but at the last minute a football game was cancelled so since the email said  come dressed for Halloween I was ready with my witch costume – which was upstairs – which was in a tub which I couldn't get. Which husband promised to get it but didn't? ahem So I dressed as my idol – Fancy Nancy.  Which webcam takes tiny pictures? My socks with bows and turquoise fancy shoes looked fabulous but I couldn't put my foot up on the bed or the computer on the floor but take my word for it they were fabulous!

I'm phobic lately about the camera and Not getting in pictures due to the camera adding like 10 or 50 lbs but what the heck it's Halloween! And which house has not one fall decoration out? And no lovely fall home tour pictures? Mine – so Happy Pink Saturday from Fancy Nancy – she loves to accessorize and she loves pink!
And for day 28 of the 31 Days Challenge here's something you can copy and make something with – a Dover Frame and some fancy fonts! Click on it to make it big - it's an 8 x 10 but will resize smaller.

 

or orange!

31 Days Day 26

Okay – this is for you Mac users out there – both of you. haha – I know zero, zilch, nada about Mac computers but apparently it's different  than installing fonts on windows.  What ever your operating system is just type into your search engine "how do I install fonts on a mac?"   and you'll find zillions of tutorials on how to do it.  I just copied this one from ehow.

1. • 1

     Close any open applications. This will help to minimize the chances of an application "sticking" when you install the fonts.

   • 2

     Open the disk or folder that contains the fonts you want to install.

   • 3

     Select the font suitcases for those that you want to add to your machine. When adding PostScript Type 1 fonts, also select the printer outline files.

   • 4

     Drag and drop the selected fonts into the Fonts folder which is in the Library folder.

   • 5

     Return to your application to use one of your new fonts.

I looked for programs like Scrapbook Factory for Macs but couldn't find anything so if  you use one that's good share it with us.  There is some sort of windows conversion for Mac that you can install to run windows for certain programs and then you would have the best of both worlds or not!
