Día de los Muertos

Thank you for all of the wonderful key art work. It was

fun to see what creative doors that key opened.

This week I'd like to celebrate a custom that has

become very interesting and beautiful to me.

I never knew much about Day of the Dead celebrations until

I started visiting Mexico in the 1970s.

Our Challenge this week is

Dia de los Muertos

Here is your inspiration image.

I think we need a bit of Halloween. Halloween is every where

and I want it here at Soartful, too.

This Vintage image is from

Divas De'Este

This is a beautiful site to visit.

Spiderweb Woman

Can you see the spider web in the background?

Use this image or just let it inspire you to create something Halloween.

I loved every entry in the 'Stairway to the Stars' challenge.

I had a hard time choosing just 3. But, here they are in no

particular order.

Stairway to the Stars

I can't believe it is time for another new challenge

at Soartful. I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of

our newcomers. It is so good to see newbies mixed

in with my faithful followers.

For your inspiration this week I found this

beautiful desktop background

I love the colors in this.

I call it Stairway to the Stars

Fall is in the Air

Ahhh, Fall is in the Air

My favorite season

In 2010, fall begins on September 22nd for countries in the Northern Hemisphere (United States, Canada).

Note: In 2010, Autumn begins on September 23 for countries in Europe.

In 2010, fall begins on March 20th for countries in the Southern Hemisphere (parts of South America, parts of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica).

I found this old magazine cover in my image program. My patio

isn't this pretty but I do have the white wicker chair and I love

to sit there and relax a bit out in the wonderful fall air.

This week we are celebrating Fall. Take this image to use in

your creation or just let the setting inspire you.

My Extra Special Picks for the

Art of Travel

I must say my quick trip was nothing as glamorous as any

of these lovely travel scenes.
