This morning we woke up to pouring rain and no electricity---an unpleasant Halloween surprise indeed! But now that I have my internet connection back, I present to you this Halloween inspiration board. The mood is haunted and mysterious, the palette faded and timeworn, the textures wispy and ethereal. May your Halloween be full of chills down the spine and things that go bump in the night!
For more Halloween goodness, be sure to check out the official Snippet and Ink Halloween offering from Kathryn, aka the Inspiration Board Queen! I adore Kathryn's boards, and her latest one is no exception!

Gorgeous inspiration board! I love the mood. Rain and no electricity make for a very creepy Halloween, so I'm glad you aren't stuck without it all day.

Wow Anne!!! This inspiration board is so gorgeous and totally redefines "spooky." I have saved your inspiration board so that next year's Halloween can be more ghoulishly glamorous :)
Happy Halloween Anne! May electricity and plenty of treats be in store for you :)

I love this board! The look is very minimalist, but then you look deeper and find all these little details hidden in the pictures. Lovely!

off the floor because they're still walking on the old floor, from
before they rebuilt after some major destruction

Yes, I agree with my Bible collection, this blog is very rich. I, too, it is checked at least once. For those who are grateful for the various English Bible, you can join Wycliffe Bible Translators'Bibleless people of prayer project. If you sign up, you will get information on a group of people, but not the Bible (not to mention sheep bound!) prayer. My family is their second group. You can Google it.
