Silver Skull Crypt--Done!

Good Afternoon Everybody!

This afternoon I wanted to share Part 1 of my last Halloween project for the year...The Silver Skull Crypt.  An Inspiration Emporium -  Inspiration Team Challenge for October...A Spooktacular Halloween Decoration.

What a fun week I've had biking, eating, site-seeing, being with great friends, eating, eating some more, walking, and my favorite thing....crafting!  Can't live without crafting and I had a total blast coming up with The Silver Skull Crypt while walking on a pier in Hilton Head Island!  Go Figure!  LOL!

So, enough of me gabbing...I've got to take one last walk down by the beach so I can get back and finish up the inside of the crypt.  The inside is pretty cool....At least I think.....
