On my blog, I combine two of my favorite things: poetry and crafts. I share a daily poem with my readers, and to illustrate the poem, I feature a talented artist or craftsperson from Etsy. I am a big supporter of buying items uniquely made by artists, so sharing their work on my blog is my own little way of promoting the handmade movement. My poems are usually pretty silly, but I love making my readers smile!
One of my favorite things about fall is Halloween! I love making costumes (I’m currently working on a Buddy the Elf costume for my fiance), going to haunted houses (even though they scare the pants off me), and watching scary movies (or rather, hiding under a blanket in terror while a scary movie plays in the background). Okay, I’m a huge chicken. But it’s all in the spirit of the season! Therefore, I thought I’d share with you some spook-tacular haikus to help you get in the Halloween spirit! It will be EEK-citing!

I can't wait for Halloween this year! I had to work the weekend of Halloween last year but they let up dress up so I was a Lumber Jill with a little foam axe in my back pocket. I don't know what I'm going to do this year but I want to do something fun for sure :)
