Torn Halloween & exciting news.....

Happy Friday Everyone!
I've had such a busy week but I have some exciting news.....I am now officially back into the workforce as of yesterday!!!!! I wasn't actually looking for a job but I was perusing the net for work stuff for my husband and decided that I would just *check* and see what types of jobs were open around here. Riverside Medical Center popped up so I clicked on their link & saw a Secretarial position open. I applied for it thinking I would get looked over because I haven't been in an office environment since January of 1998. To my surprise, I received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview which turned out to be 2 interviews that day & came home with a *packet*. I guess I've really been out of the loop for a while because when Sue called me yesterday to offer me the position, that's when I found out that her mind had been made up when she first laid eyes on me. The department I'll be working in is called Butterfield Ct. & it's really beautiful, peaceful & serene. Not what you think of when you say "I work at a hospital" but this part of the *complex* is like an oasis! I'm a bit nervous especially because I'm getting all types of bloodwork done today and then my orientation is Monday & Tuesday so my stomach is in knots right now LOL! I'm still going to be a SU! Demo & hold my classes & workshops. This is where my HEART is and I'm not letting it go.

Now that I've babbled on about my new job.......onto my post!!! I decided to play in the Color Throwdown this week and make another Halloween card with these *kooky* colors! Best Fiends is one of my favorite Halloween sets so I couldn't wait to use it!!! I threw in a bit of black to calm down the Bermuda Bay, Green Galore & Barely Banana.....I honestly think that was a wise choice LOL!

I need to get a move on so I'm off! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,
Hugs,

Supplies:
Best Fiends ss; Barely Banana, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black & Whisper White cs; Craft White & Basic Black ink; Big Shot; Perfect Details Texture Plate; SU! Markers; Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon & Dimensionals
