S'more Thank-yous, My Latest "Dones," and a Thank-you Party.....

It's beginning to look a lot black and orange 'round Nod....
And I'm loving it!!
I'd like to introduce you the newest member of our nest - Jacz:

Jacz is one of many awesomely whimsical creations by Willa, from The Old Cupboard Door.  I was the lucky, lucky, winner of her latest (and I gotta say greatest) giveaway. Yippee!!! Jacz was accompanied on his journey to Nod by Tricks:



(Gotta keep my eye on this one....he's living up to his namesake and then some....I'm never quite sure where he's gonna turn up!)

Thank you SO MUCH Willa!!! I love my boys (and they told me to tell you they're tickled orange in their new forever home!!!)

AND, there was more fun in the mailbox yesterday....The very, very, sweet (but also very, very, sneaky) Robin from The Primitive Hutch knows I love Halloween as much as she does....And she surprised me with some incredible Halloween treats:  An adorable card, some Reese's minis (yeah....I've made a dent in those already), some skelly tissues, and the cutest dang witch and crow pillow tuck and cross-stitched "All Hallows Eve" tuck/pinkeep, both hand-done by Miss Robin herself....

Yeah, I melted....

 Thank you from the bottom of my Halloween heart Girlfriend....You know me SO well....(but I still wanna know how you got my addy....) ;o)

On to my "dones...." (Remember those?  Yeah, I know, here at TheCrankyCrow, they are few and far between....but here goes.....)

And lastly, but certainly not leastly, I want to say a huge and heart-felt thank you to Deneen from dreamingincolor.  She is having a "thank-you party" and today I'm her guest of honor.  :o)  Can you believe it??? TheCrankyCrow being featured on someone else's blog??? Woo Hoo!!! (I'd pinch myself, but it hurts....) Anyways, to those of you that found your way here by means of Deneen, I bid you a warm welcome and hope you look around a bit....It's just simple, but it's me.....And for my regular (wonderful and amazing followers), pop on over and visit Deneen....I shared a (very) wee bit of my Halloween decor over there - and while you're there, check out some of Deneen's amazing redo's and crafting ideas....She was overly blessed with creativity me thinks...

Thanks bunches Deneen....you're one of the best!

Hope you're getting your spook on!!
