Welcome Azzalea! Oh my, what a FUN thing to do!! A Halloween Party in AUG. Love it! Sounds like all of you made such cute things as well as had a great time. (age is irrelevant for things like this.) I have the same problem as Party and Seas...no one to do stuff with. They are all HERE on the Forum and Janie must've lost the bus keys to pick us up and head for your place! :o) I have a feeling it would be so neat to meet you. I'm glad you joined us here, tho, and hope you can post pictures. hugs, Karen

I think that sign for the artificial eyeballs is just a hoot! It is so perfect in your vignette with the eyeballs and other body parts and fluids--good job! I'm going to head over to see your blog too, and thanks so much for the links to the free printables. Like Karen, I usually don't comment on blogs. Either I can't figure out how to post on the blogs or hate being "anonymous", but I get so much enjoyment from seeing all the creative things others do. ;o) Luvs

Candy, I love your mantel with the fall leaves and berries. The plate caught my eye but I really like the raven up there on top of the candlestick. How funny! The haunted house is of course unique. You must have had great fun using it all these years. And the green light is a great idea! Magpie, jot down ANOTHER idea for next year--build a haunted house. - Magpie

Eek .. that antique pumpkin is scary! Sorry it took so long, but here's the cottage porch. This is sort of a 'spoof' on DH and I. We spend quite a bit of time hanging out on the front porch talking. The skelatons are so cheesy, I'd love to get real, maybe discounted defective ones .. but not this year. I can think of so many fun ways to dress and pose them .. a different scene each year. I pulled out my yet to be stripped metal chairs for this .. another project to get to, not enough time. So anyhooo .. Here are the love birds over looking their dearly departed. A hauntingly homey sight .. As the girls put it, this is eternal love. ;) She looks upon him with adoration : He returns the look : Holding hands .. Playing footsie .. Even the pets are with them in the beyond. There are five rats, each representing a dog. *LOL* A wreath on the door .. home sweet haunt! ( made from a very, very ugly good will flowered wreath, spray painted black and dollar tree skulls glued on ) Hey .. what's with creepy cousin Eddie peeping out the other window ?!? Sheesh ..
