IT HAS BEGUN

         JUST THE SPOT TO SIT AND THINK, 

WHAT POTION WILL IT BE

THAT BRINGS HIM BACK TO ME?

THE GLITTED DUST FROM A RAVEN

THE SPIDER WEB OF A BLACK WIDOW

THE BLOOD OF A DRAGON

Will he love me more than before?



This halloween scene is on my tiny porch.  To help set the

the spooky mood.

Don't you just love it when you find pleasure

in the silly and obsurd.

I guess my fond memories of many a childhood

halloween drives

me to recapture those days.

This is a special holiday that still gives

me thrills and chills at the thought of it.

Happy Haunting, Kathy

SWAPOWEEN

(http://www.mysocalledchaos.com/ and http://artemishi.blogspot.com/).

My Friend Ricki Jill from Art@Home


Told me about a great Halloween Swap Party.
We prepare a halloween box filled of halloween goodies and a few things
that go bump in the night and send it to our assigned partner.
Sounds like fun.  Thanks Ricki for letting me know about it.


Practical Magic

I am so excited but was I ever sad.
I saw another party Practical Magic - one of my very favorite.
I was to late....darn....I bet the aunts have something in their
potion book that would help.



Last year my friend Page hosted a Practical Magic evening packed full of
great delights.

Part of the party were lessons on exiting the top of your house only with your umbrella.

Page's kitchen is based on the movie and wow is it
ever so beautiful.  That will wait for another post.

Good Night!
Happy Haunting,  Kathy

It's Here!

It's here!

Do you feel it?

Is the hair on the back of your neck standing up?

I thought it would never get here.

Finally!!!!!!!

OK I feel better now.

I have been planning and working on halloween

for a few weeks.  My best halloween buddy

"Theresa" and I have scouted out

anything and everything to do with

the season.  Theresa has a head start on the

decorating and it looks incredible.

Lots of pictures to share but for now a

mantel or two.  I began mine today and

not quit sure it will stay this way.

But for now it will do. 
What the heck is that big spot of light, could it be a spirit?

 What can I say I got a little carried way with Dollar Tree's gauze fabric.

 This is Theresa's den mantel packed full of old, discarded needful things.

The clock was found last week during one of our

many trips.  It looks great for halloween.

Propped with books and skelton hands, the

rats are having a snack. 

They are waiting for the master to return.

Bell chimes in the background, clocks ticking,

candles lite flickering, awaiting a guest for the evening.

 

 I can't wait to join the rest of you for the party.                       See you soon!

Happy Hauntings,  Kathy
