Something wicked this way comes…
Happy Halloween!
Look! It’s a self-portrait. I carved this myself. Well, not really. I started carving it myself and when I realized it didn’t look anything like the pattern I used, I abandoned it and left it to the hubby to finish. You know, cause that’s the way I roll
