spooky mondays is back

I'm so glad my friend Wendy from Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland brought back Spooky Mondays. I had lots of fun doing it last year and today she is kicking off the first one for this year.

I decided to share a little bit of haunted history from my hometown, California's capital city of Sacramento. Lots of ghostly stories from the Gold Rush days abound here and this time of the year there are many places to enjoy a little bit of spooky fun.

Thank you to everyone that's still making the rounds trying to work your way through the guest list. Yes, I am still doing that myself. I haven't been able to spend as much time on the computer as I normally do so I'm working my way down slowly but surely.

But guess what? It's time to announce the winner of my mixed media collage
