Halloween Blog Party of 2012

 
Welcome to my Halloween Party. There are a lot of fun things to see, so I hope you stay a while.
A big thank you goes out to Miss Vanessa at
 afancifultwist. She has put all of these wonderous parties together. Please check out her sidebar for more Halloween fun.
 
 
 Welcome...
 A house is never still...You can hear whispering in the chambers.

 Would you like a cup of creepy tea? The spiders really like it.

A thousand fearful images dance through the mind. 
 Double double toil and trouble.

A touch of this and a pinch of that.
 It is the bewitching time of night.
 A name on the wind, a face from the past, A voice long un-heard shall be heard at last.
 Come with me All Hallows Night.
Will frighten everyone in sight.
Such pranks for once, are justified
And fun and frolic amplified.
 There is nothing that gives you more assurance than a mask.
Grab a key and unlock the portals of your imagination.
 Mostly by observing..this is the means used to frighten you.

 On Halloween the thing you must do is pretend that nothing can frighten you. If somethin' scares you and you want to run, just let on that it is just Halloween fun.
Illuminate the darkness. See what is waiting in the shadows.
On Halloween, witches come out, wild ghosts escape from our dreams.
 Remember, if you want to let yourself out, grab a key.
Stur up a potion... 
Eye of newt tail of frog....and a spot of sparkle.
Don't forget a dab of fantasy .
Where there is no imagination there is no Halloween.
Be wary then; your best safety lies in fear.

Linda!
You have done a great job with the description of the materials and also the filming. This is a great series of pictures and the mood takes me, too, even though I do not spend haloween party. It is your celebration.
Young people spend here in Finland, haloween, too, but in a slightly different way, I guess. Maybe I'll do a few ATC on the subject of witches and cats.
But I like to watch your party. It is a magical and exciting beautiful.
