Today I want to introduce Tilly the Witch and Frank! Tilly, (That is short for Matilda), has had a new makeover and she is feeling mighty spunky now! She was getting a little haggard and outdated and needed some sprucing up, so my granddaughter and I got her a new outfit, and a new pumpkin to hold and now she is ready to cast a spell on any visitors that come to our house!
You can take a look at the old Matilda here.
As you can see she is perched right where she can see all the comings and goings and she has a very watchful eye. Not a lot get past this old girl! She guards my porch day and night and is very diligent about her duties.
If you need a Tilly in your life you can find how to make one here at The Country farm Home.
Frank aka Frank E. Stein keeps a watchful eye out in the front yard. He has also had a makeover this year…He got a larger suit and white shirt and is sporting a nifty green bow tie!
I have had Frank for a few years too, and he was just getting a little worn down…and that is not good for a monster…but now he is scarier than ever and very happy about that!
I spruced up a couple of my pumpkins, because I don’t have anyone to carve them with me anymore. ( My husband has an aversion to pumpkin guts) so I just decorate my pumpkins now!
This pumpkin has a wonderful “Boo” rhinestone sticker that all I had to do was apply it to my clean, dry pumpkin. How easy is that? And I love it. I found this sticker at Michaels during our Girls quilt retreat and have been saving it for now!
If you know me…you know that I have a certain fettish for ribbon! And I could not resist putting ribbons on at least one pumpkin, because everything is just a little bit cuter with ribbons!
So there is my Halloween porch. All decorated and ready for the haunting season! With Tilly the Witch and Frank…I have everything under control and I know that they will welcome all of my visitors that come to my house!
Have you decorated for the holidays? There is something about Halloween that I absolutely love! All the bright colors, orange, green, purple and black that I can’t seem to get enough of! I like cutesy Halloween, but not scary!
Thanks for visiting today and Happy Haunting!
looks so cute!!!
Thanks Kathy! We had fun doing a new makeover on Tilly. I think that she likes it too! :)
Hi Rita: I would love to use the Sept VT handout (note page) for invitations to ward relief society presidents for a stake leadership meeting. I don’t know if this is copyrighted or not. Would you let me know asap? Need to distribute by this weekend. I’ve sent the “just so scrappy’ site an email too but so far no reply. HELP! Thanks! True
True, You are welcome to use the blank VT handout for your invitation for your stake leadership meeting. Good luck with your meeting.
Rita

Happy Haunting,
Rita
I have been using your VT handout for about a year now. My sisters love them. They look forward to seeing them each month. I had an inactive sister that started getting active and when she was called to be a visiting teacher she went to your site to print the handout too. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us!!!
Lornel, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your kind comment and tell your story. I am so glad when someone can use one of my handout, it makes me so happy…so thanks for making my day today! I hope you have a great day and Happy Visiting this month!
Rita
