Welcome to the (very late) October 23, 2006, edition of Queen Caffeine's Castle Dispatch.

We have a winner in the musical scavenger hunt.....and the winner is  Donna H, of WV  She solved the interweaving course layed out by Marty and Carla...and her prize is an indoor grill.  Congratulations Donna!

We will be working on a new contest shortly . . .

We have added fresh new freebies for you to enjoy..There is one freebie, if you like ecards, from American Greetings:  a free one-year subscription for you to snag...

Halloween is soon approaching...We have some freebies and some tags, crafts ideas and costume ideas for you to explore...Look for the special Halloween section at the Castle at http://excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=20852

Also there, find some very yummy Halloween treats for you to make.

I have been very busy exploring the countryside for the perfect Thanksgiving picture...So far no luck...The summer was way too hot and not enough rain..  We do have a one town that waters their trees very regularly due to the fact that they take pictures of the trees and sell them to greeting card companies... Going to check them out in the next few days.

Within the next few days new Halloween stuff will be posted in the Halloween section...Right now, we have a shortened version of the regular newsletter for you.  The regular one should be back next week.

And if you love music, we have 60's, 70's, 80's  for you to listen to....Some are just now being worked on, so check back a lot and see what's new.

FEATURE SITE:

Found a really interesting site while cruising around the net the other day, something I'd never heard of before!  It's called Find A Grave and it's found here http://www.findagrave.com/ and has lots of great ways to find information.  You can search by location, claim to fame, born on this date, died on this date, and more.  Should be really interesting to find out where some people are buried because I've heard they aren't where they're supposed to be!

A few other sites of interest, mostly for kids .........
