I love this time of the year, plenty of Halloween & Day of the Dead festivities to attend. So much beautiful artwork, & sometimes slightly creepy things to see. Our weekend consisted of Halloween evening, going out with our 3, which were scooting from one house to the next fast with friends, happy to feel like they were out on their own, as we kind of hung back & got used to the role of the parents with older kids. Not walking them up to the doors anymore, not holding the hands. Just trying to keep up. The next day (after a rainy 4 mile run) we headed to Hollywood for their awesome Day of the Dead Celebration in the huge cemetery out there. My brother who lives out that way, came & joined us. Sunday was capped off with a drive to San Diego with some friends to visit this cool shop of a lady we know, & they were having a little outdoor Day of the Dead celebration too. I was thinking looking at her shop, that I need to get going on some of dreams in my head for my art & maybe my writing. It was inspiring to see her eclectic little store with local artist's goods. Ahhh anyway, so many good things in one weekend! I'm proud of myself for showing some restraint, I've developed a little of it in the past couple years. I really wanted this felted Sugar Skull doll($145). I kept going back to take a peek, but I was good this time.
