DIA DE LOS MUERTOS BLOG HOP!! -

WELCOME
TO
 "DAY OF THE DEAD/DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" BLOG HOP!!
OR THE DAY
MEXICO CELEBRATES LIFE!!

and as you can see I am Mexican
(OK, Mexican-American, Spanish and French).
For a bit more of information on the celebration, I found a nice
article, if you are interested, written by S. Derrickson Moore
You can see part of her article and link just to your right.

OK, on to the Blog Hop! and project.
First of all, I hope you arrived here from
my BFF blog, if not start there.

I created a Two-Page LO of my parents, both deceased, to celebrate
their Life!! - They were both born in Jalisco, México, hence my outfit!
Decorated Skulls, Marigolds, Papel Picado Banners
are all found in my LO and are very typical of
Dia De Los Muertos celebration!!
DH drew design and colored the skulls that I cut from Wall Décor and More. We changed the skull's teeth to not look so diabolic!
He so wanted to be part of it!!
So much that look at all the work he did embellishing the following skulls!!!

Yes, it took him a few days to create all this!
Oh, and of course he had to put an altar together with the oh so typical of this celebration, Pan de Muertos!!
(DH forgot to iron the sheet, lol!, OK, we did!!)
