...to my husband, whose idea it was to put some simple headstones in our yard.  He didn't realize that I would need to take it to the next level.  Now he is a hostage to my Halloween madness.

...to all the INCREDIBLE staff at the Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro ReStore.

...to my dear Seattle Girls' Choir "Alum Chum", Lara.  We've sung high C's, ridden on Soviet trains, and now have made a whimsical little witch fly on a cello!  Your creativity and artistry are only surpassed by your capacity for love.

...to my beloved, macabre, Halloween partner-in-crime, Nicole.  Thank you for being excited about all one million Halloween texts and for helping me bring "Lucinda" to life!

...to our nephew, Sam, who never imagined that his engineering degree would one day be used for bats!  Your design is the perfect fusion of art and science.

...to Elisa and the McSwain Elementary PTA for being such INCREDIBLE partners.

...to my brother, Little Tim, for saying "sure" to yard signs and my Mom for always being whimsical. 

...to Maya who devoted her Saturday afternoon to moving spooky trees, witches, ghosts, and cemetery fencing.

...to the Gab-n-Go Girls, Erin, Heather, Hillary, for supporting me in every way imaginable. 
Love you ladies!

...to Jessica, who always tells me, "Everything is perfectly fine here."
