A Halloween Party!

Now taking place right here Click!

So you say you want a Halloween Blog Party?  Well, you don't have to twist my arm on that one.  Let's do it!!  Say, Saturday October 18th? (flyer and button at end of post, plus flyer update for blogs that do not have a white background)

      

Come one, come all!!!  A party where anything goes!!  Sparkles, candy, costumes, cupcakes, haunted tea-time, goblin children, pets playing dress-up, crafts, pictures, decorations, ideas, confetti, ghost stories, dancing around the cauldron, flying across the moon, striped socks, pointy shoes, capes, forest creatures, witches, gnomes, queens, sorcerers, wizards, warlocks, glitter, Art!  Or plain old pj's and spooky (or non spooky) movies!!  Anything, anything, anything goes.

      

As you may know, all you have to do is, have a little Halloween inspired event on your blog the day of the party, link to me, and I'll link to you.  If you are joining the party let me know in comments or by e-mail.  Make sure you let me know that you will be participating, and leave me your correct blog address so I can add you with correct info... 

I will then make a special place in my sidebar a couple days before the party, with a list of everyone participating, and we can visit eachother's blogs on the day of the party.

   

You can share anything Halloween related that you want on your blog for the party.  So, you are basically having your own little party on your bloglette, and we are all dancing and munching in creative blog bliss....

Orange and black treats galore...

 

I wanted to make it mid month, so we can get ideas from eachother for Halloween itself, and so we can get in the mood and have a little magical fun..

We have almost a month to prepare ;)  It will be fun fun fun!!  Remember how much fun the Mad Tea Party was?

Only this will be of the Haunted House variety...  Did someone say, caramel & candy apples?

      

I can't wait to see your pumpkin carving creativity...

      

Or perhaps, you will play us a spooky tune or two? 

 

Go ahead, invite all the witches and warlocks you know...  As they say, the more, that cacklier?

      

Is it just me, or are the clouds trying to tell me something?  I took this under this week's full moon.  Is that the side profile of a witch, and her hand stirring something up??

 

I don't know about you, but when witches start appearing in clouds, I know it is time to plan a Halloween party ;)

I am getting into the mood in a major way...

I was at Walgreens, which I have to say, always fulfills all of my desires.  I can spend hours in Walgreens, I tell ya...  Anyhow, I am going up and down the aisles, and I get to the magazines and see this book.

      

All I can say is, I LOVE Matthew Mead!!  This book has so many fabulous fun ideas.  It is a treasure trove of inspiration.  From sewing to baking to felting to drawing to decorating and clock making & more!!

      

      

          

It is simply packed full of creative things to make and bake and do for Halloween...

      

So, there you have it.  Plenty of time to prepare for our Halloween Extravaganza.  You have almost one month, so, be there or be...

        

Well, I'll undertsand if you can't come, but...  Oh come on, how can you resist hair glitter, bug sparkles and striped stockings??

So, there you have it.  Halloween Party planning, and I am early!!  Woo hooo!  Lots of time.  You can sign up from now until then (the sooner the saner for me ;)

Time to go play!!

 

Home Companion and Country Living Magazines are packed with goodness toooooo!!

     

Wait til you see who is here to visit already! Let me just say, I got home to these hanging on the mantle.  Which means, yes, the witches have arrived...  Yipppeeee! (or maybe it is just a beloved order from Sock Dreams!!  Those striped socks are sooooooooo long, too fun!!  hee heeeee)

 

Can't wait to hear what you think!  xoxo ♥, V

See you sooooon!!    

   

ps: You don't have to have a blog to join in the fun.  Everyone is invited!!

Vanessa,
I might be biting off a bit more licorice than I can chew, because I have another party the following week...but I had so much fun at your tea party that I couldn't possibly pass on this invitation. I'll just have to be very inventive...hmmmm...have to think about this awhile.
I just bought the Halloween book too...although mine was from Target.
I'm looking forward to what your creative mind spins for Halloween!

I have plans for sophisticated Halloween decor. And luckily our school (my girls got to and I work at a english language school)always hosts a Halloween party and we get to dress up (if not trick or treat).
