Halloween is coming!   On Friday I picked up the boys wearing my witch’s hat.  There is something about costumes that instantly excites kids.   We zoomed home my broom, ok SUV and carved our first round of pumpkins.  While we carved away, I tried to convince them to dress up as Spongbob, Plankton and Mr. Crab but they refused!  Sigh… I’ll have to be Sandy the Squirrel all by myself.  The little ones of course want to be Batman and Robin and the teen is still deciding.

In the meantime, our first Halloween e-card is  on the site!    To turn this beautiful Victorian House into a frightful haunted house, click on our Haunted House ecard.

We have a  big batch of Halloween e-cards in production and we will be adding them to the site in the next two weeks.

If anyone has any Halloween cards they want to see made, let us know.

My nephew Robbie and my son Otis made their first Doozycard.  We wanted to encourage them to use their love of Youtube videos and internet games to inspire their Doozycard.  After posting the e-card, we were thrilled to tell them, their animated e-card is popular!  So we  proudly introduce our first birthday e-card made by internet-loving teenagers: The Find the Cake Game.

Bennett and I love Fall especially because it’s so much fun to write the new Halloween cards and animate the beautiful, multi-colored Fall leaves.  Animated leaves can be gorgeous as they gently fall to the ground or surprisingly scary as they turn into bats! (See our new and upcoming Autumn and Halloween cards).   Our lovely little fairies can also be surprised by modern conveniences!  Check out what happens to our adorable plump fairy in Autumn Fairy Surprise animated greeting. This funny fall e-card  has been very popular already which makes us very happy.

My 3 boys and I will run through the leaves as soon as they hit the streets and even dive into a few leaf piles.  I also promised the kids we would make candy this Halloween.  Yipes! I know nothing about making candy so any tips, recipes or recommended websites would be much appreciated.  I found these websites which look very informative: candylandcrafts.com and baking911.com. Any suggestions on candy making or shared funny Fall leaf stories would be appreciated!
