Halloween Tubes Set 1


I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday for so many reasons. When I was a kid, I had to wait for permission from my mom to hang up the Halloween decorations (because I would hang them up in September, if I could), but mom always made me wait until the calendar read "October". My mom had this tradition where we couldn't go out and Trick-or-Treat until we had eaten a full dinner. Our Halloween feast always consisted of the same thing (and still does to this day!) grilled cheese sandwiches and a hot bowl of Campbell's tomato soup. YUM!! Maybe I love Halloween because I love the fun of putting on a costume and being someone else for a day, or maybe it's the opportunity to go door to door and actually beg for my favorite candies. LOL. "Please let the next house have Reese's or Bottle Caps..." I love the rich colors of Halloween, I love the weather--be it a chilly, nippy night of a rural Ohio Autumn evening, or the warm Santa Ana winds of southern California (I experienced both growing up). I love decorating the front of the house, stuffing old clothes with newspapers to make a scarecrow/dummy to sit on the front porch, hanging ghosties from the trees, stretching web-like cotton across the bushes in the front of the house, and playing creepy music for the kids to shiver to when they come to the door. I love the smiling and learing faces on the pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns and I even love going shopping for the perfect candy to pass out (which usually means lots of mini candy bars).

With Halloween on the way, I thought it would be a great time to post some tubes I have made. This is the first set of several that I plan to share. Everything is zipped up and waiting at 4Shared....come and get 'em! If you do download, please leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you think of my tubes.
