Choose Happy= Halloween Treats

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

I hope your day is off to a great start!
My plan is the same as yesterday....gonna get inky!

I did get to my stamp table and had the best time putting together my 2024 Halloween Sticks that I make every year! But before I get to that I wanted to give an update on Audrey. She is my card lady and has been ordering cards & treats from me since 2012. Yesterday she called me and gave me a small order and we chatted about 20 minutes. Today is her 94th birthday! And on top of that she has shingles! My heart sank when she described the pain she was dealing with. She has it under her skin on her scalp which is an odd place for it but it does happen. Her doctor gave her yet another pill to help which in turn makes her nauseous. I recommended some Ginger Chews since I use them with being on Mounjaro. She has been thru so much in the last few years and she keeps on chugging along. My plan today is to make a card to send her. If your the praying type please say a little prayer for her. I know she would appreciate that. 

Here are the Halloween M&M Sticks I made. 
I used the Choose Happy stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. It's the cutest and definitely covers many occasions!

Those M&M sticks make the best Halloween treats! I love the pumpkin tops - too cute! Thanks for the update on Audrey. I sent her a card and I always pray for her (and you) but shingles has to be the absolute worst. Give her a hug for me when you see her again and I hope she (and you) are feeing better soon.
