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.

 

Time Has Come...

The time has come for all to buy their favorite pumpkin of the bunch.

I looked and looked and wanted the most unique pumpkin that I could find.

 

This is what I chose. It is the smallest and the wartest that I have ever seen. What do you think?

 

Please be sure to check in on Saturday the 27th for the greatest Halloween Blog Party ever.

Miss Vanessa from afancifultwist is hosting this awesome party so, please check in. All of the parties are listed on her sidebar.

It's That Time of Year...

Since Halloween is nearly at our doorstep, I thought that I would make new spell books. Mine, I call Book of Shadows.

 

 

 My friend Debbie, from The Other Side Of Deb helped me to get started.. Please check out her blog for more Halloween ideas.

 I decided to make  two.  They both came out so different.

This is an actual page in one of the books.

 

I hope that all of you are starting to get your festivities started.

The Most Beautiful...

  Fall in Michigan is the most beautiful time of year.

 It all reminds me of a beautiful painting.

 The palet of colors are complete.

 Pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes.

Somewhere in the east coast, someone grew a pumpkin that weighed over 2050 lbs.

 These trees and bushes look as if they are on fire.

Flames leaping skyward.

Random Thought...

Did you ever wonder?

I'm serious. Did you ever notice how much stuff you find on the ground while taking a walk? Aside from the bottles, cans and general trash. I mean, I did find 12 cents but doesn't anyone ever pick anything up? Well I did. This was three leisurely walks later. I seriously think that people should really look around once in a while...you may miss something.

The Last Week-end OF Summer

 I can't belive it. Fall will be upon us in a few days. Yes, it is true. This is the last week-end of summer.

 Summer went by us so very fast. Yes, it was so very hot.

Like other places, we could have used some very much needed rain.

 Looks like fall is slowly sneaking in making its big entrance... I am ready.

...

I Won, Really!

Wow, it has been so long since I've won a giveaway that I'm at a loss for words.

I won two different giveaways within four weeks.

 

 This first one is a beautiful print. It is 8x10. It is called "White Lily"  It was painted by Lisa At The Fine Art And Ramblings Of Lisa Russo. She has a wonderful blog with lots of other prints to choose from. Please visit her soon.

I also won two wonderous shabby chic French Flea Market Tags. I won two. These tags are 3x6. There is a lot of detail on these and are beautiful. I have a bookshelf with lots of different things on it and I plan to put them there for display. Please visit Marcia at The Shop Around The Corner. Her work is amazing so please visit her soon.

A special thank you to Lisa and Marcia. I'm hoping that all of you have the time to visit them and look around.
