Spiders really BUG me



I mentioned in an earlier post that spiders give me the creeps.  I know that they have a good purpose on earth; I read that spiders and bats eat tons of insects.  In fact, bats can eat 600-1000 mosquitoes in an hour; that is one busy bat!  Yuck, but yeah!

This hatred I have for spiders is more of a fear.  But why, considering their size to mine???  I don’t know, but a spider of most any size can immobilize me.  That is why I was CRAZY this year to put spiders on my Halloween greeting card to my customers.  I received one back in the mail from someone who moved their offices.  Yikes; I couldn’t even touch the part of the greeting card that had the spider while putting it in a new envelope to re-address it!

                             It would be frightening not to have you as a customer!

But I had fun lots of fun with my Halloween greeting card this year.  I normally send cute greeting cards but this one was a bit edgy and it made lots of friends laugh.  Was that really you?” they asked.  Yes, me, ratted hair and a lot of hairspray!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
And yes . . .
SendOutCards is so cool it is scary!

Halloween is around the corner; yikes!



I used to enjoy picking out funny or cute Halloween greeting cards for the family but I would spend quite some time in the card isles doing so.  Now, I easily find the ones I like from my SendOutCards account from the comfort of my computer.  Since Halloween is such a playful holiday, have fun choosing greeting cards that will make people smile.
There are entire subcategories devoted to family, humorous and of course, children!  The choices are endless with spooky, bright or bloody colors to create the tone you wish.  Choose from monsters, mummies, spiders, bats or black cats or on the lighter side, candy corn, pumpkins, or cute costumes.  Just have fun . . . knowing you will add a happy moment to the person receiving the card.
 
Are you old enough to remember the spider pages in the Golden Book Encyclopedias?  Well, truth be known, I couldn’t even bring myself to touch those pages.  Turning the page gave me the creeps.  As I started thinking about a fun Halloween card creation this year, I choose a template that had spiders since my previous Halloween cards have been on the cute side.  As I started working with the template, that old feeling came back to me and I am certainly glad that I do not have to handle the cards with spiders on them.  Ha Ha . . . just my family and friends have to touch them.  Eeck!
 Vishing you a vonderfully vicked and vild Halloveen! 
Happy Halloween Card Sending!
