DebinHawaii I am glad you like it! 🎉I was a little worried about being so liberal with your “anywhere haunted” request but we do have a lot of “chicken skin” places in Hawaii.😉👻& I was excited to shop my local book store & craft fairs. I tried to get somewhat ghostly on a couple books & noticed all the cozy mysteries on your feed & added one YA speculative.🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m glad Buggy liked his book & thought the tiki craft would be quick & fun to do.🤗 3y
DebinHawaii FYI—i am opening mine tonight after work because I wanted to savor it after surviving the week & not open it up & then have to rush to get to the office. Delayed gratification! I‘ll post tonight. 💜💜💜 3y
