Halloween party



We've been waiting for you




There are ghost lights in the window to help you find your way



Wouldn't want you wandering around in a strange neighborhood late at night.

The ghost band will play all night




Prudence, Matilda, and Estelle are ready to cast their spells



Careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all.

What is Halloween without a black cat, spiders and things that go bump in the night?









We have pumpkins










Glad you could drop in




happily taking part in Vanessa's Blogger Halloween Party. I still haven't figured out how to post a button that works but this is a link to her site.

WHERE WERE MY MANNERS last night?

I meant to offer you a seat in my favorite chair.




Would you like a book to read? I have horror if that is your thing. King, McCammon, Simmons, Koontz, or my newest book THE STRAIN.





Not enough time for a book maybe a short story or two from SKELETON CREW or NIGHT SHIFT. (There are more books upstairs).




Or perhaps we could have our own horror movie marathon. Nothing we like on TV I have DVDs. One of my favorites the original The Fog or Rosemary's Baby. Maybe a little Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs or Red Dragon. Perhaps The Myst is more to your liking.





What's that wonderful smell you say. I baked some apple brownies-they are full of apples, pecans, cinnamon, a bit of clove and nutmeg. Or maybe you'd like a chocolate chip cookie? I had to make those for my granddaughter.




Thank you all for dropping in. I will make it to everyone's party. It may take me a couple days:)

  24. What a great party! And so many delightful books to choose from! Plus, I simply can't wait to make those skillet apple brownies. Thanks for sharing:)

  25. I got the BOO letters from the Graphics Fairy web site. Then cut banners from black felt. The orange is crepe paper. I stitched a big basting stitch along one side and gathered it into a circle. It was fun to make.

    The Happy Halloween was from All Sorts site. I plan to do a little more with those for next year.

    I really love vintage looking Halloween. I don't have a lot of it but it is an ongoing collection.

    Thank you all for dropping by.

  27. Adore your creations , decor, and the pumpkin carriage and spider. I made a haunted Cinderella Pumpkin Carriage last year from instructions I got through a link on the Hallmark site. You may want to make one ...very very easy.

    Having a draw for some of my Halloween art so if you like to pop over and drop your name in the hat that would be lovely.
