Tea Party Under A Halloween Moon 2011











Welcome...







Come with me










All Hallow's night








We'll frighten everyone in sight








Such pranks for you










are justified









And all fun and frolic amplified.









Full moon courtesy of October 11, 2011







Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.









Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,






Voices whisper in the trees.




A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself





If a man harbors any sort of fear, it makes him lanlord to a ghost.



Double, double toil and trouble,



Fire burn and cauldren bubble.















Bring forth the raisens and the nuts-










Tonight All Hallow's Spectre






Along the moonlit way.







Deep into darknesspeering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing,










Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.













Deap into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dreamed before.






A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently, there is a whispering in the distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snub of the windo, the latch raises......










Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night.












Our deepest fear is not that we are inadiquete. Our deepest fear is that we are beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.









My candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I










saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open.






At first cock crow the ghosts must go back to their quiet graves below.







Raise your spirits, cook up some ghost stories, and make eerie looking Jack-o-Lanterns







Halloween is fun for grownups and kids alike. Especially when you throw an eeire Halloween Party Under The Moon.











On Halloween, witches come true. Wild ghosts escape from dreams.














'Tis now is the very witching time of night....Beware!








'Tis the night- the night






Of the grave's delight, And the warlocks are ar their play:






Ye think that without






the wild winds shout,






But no, it is they - it is they.














From ghoulies






And long leggedy beasties...
















Thank you to Anna at frostedpetunias for hosting this wondrous party.

Halloween Party 2011













Welcome...









Backward, turn backward, O time in your flight. Make me a child again just






for tonight!










Come with me





All Hallow's night





We'll frighten everyone in sight





Such pranks to incense





Are justified






And the fun and






frolic, amplified.









Eye of newt, and toe of frog,






Wool of bat and tongue of dog,






Adder's fork and blind-worms sting,









Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing.







For a charm of powerful trouble,









like a hell-broth and bubble.












May jack-o-lanterns burning bright. Of soft and golden hue. Pierce throughout the future's veil and show what fate now holds.











.Tis the time is drawing near.








Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen. Voices whisper in the trees.

Come into my home said the spider to the fly.




Tis now the very witching time of night when churchyards yawn and hell itself breaths light.



"From ghoulies and ghosties And long-leggedy beasties And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us !








On Halloween the thing you must do is pretend that nothing can frighten you and if something scares you and you want to run just let on like it's Halloween fun.






You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.






Where there is no imagination there is no Halloween.












Witch and ghost make merry on this last of our dear October's days.






Everyone is a moon and has a dark side, which he never shows to anybody.







Nothing on earth is so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night.








Raise your spirits, cook up some ghost stories, and make errie looking jack-o-lanterns. Halloween is for grownups and kids alike. Especially when you throw a bizare Halloween party.




I want to thank our very special hostess Vanessa at Afancifultwist for this very special party. Please check out her blog for more Halloween fun.

October Artful Bag Challenge

I started out with a small wooden pencil case




I used small pieces of torn pink and orange tissue paper. I made a solution of Elmar's glue and water. I then painted over the tissue. I added a knob, painted it gold.



I used small pieces of leopard print tissue paper for the inside.


I added a ponytail holder to hold the bag closed





This is the finished clutch purse. It's ideal for that evening out.
It fits nicely in the palm of your hand.


A big thank you goes out to Anna at Frosted Petunians for making this challenge possible. Please check out her blog for more Artful Bags
