Pumpkins!

I haven't even bought my pumpkins yet!! These ideas put me in the mood for some hot chocolate and scary movies. ^_^ And hot, fresh pumpkin seeds. ^_^

One Week till Halloween!

I'm doing a weeklong countdown to Halloween, starting today. I am soo excited! We're doing an Alice in Wonderland themed Halloween shindig, and I'll have plenty of pictures of it on Monday. ^_^ I get to be Alice!! Woohoo!

And speaking of amazing Halloween fun...
Is this not the most awesome desktop you've ever seen?? The incredible awesomeness of it is just insane. I want to know where this person got all these goodies! I want them!

Check it out here.

Caught in it's web...

I've been infatuated with these new spider web charms since I bought them a couple weeks ago. Everytime I lay out a necklace, I always end up using one of these as the pendants. They just seem to always work! I've been building up quite a large inventory of necklaces since I have a home party coming up very soon, and I'm a little worried that everyone will say "Great work, but I'm just not that into spiders..." I've actually woken up in cold sweats over this! I suppose we'll just see what happens. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. :)

That's the first necklace I ever made with these charms. I loved it so much, I kept it! I made a duplicate to sell, however. I plan on wearing this necklace to my home party to show it off, maybe with my pink and black striped tights. ^_^

Digital Inspiration

I was browsing DeviantArt the other day searching for new, inspiring work to aid in my Halloween craft creation process, and I came across the artist Restmlin. The work in their gallery is absolutely fantastic. Their work is unique and lovely, and the composition is absolutely terrific. I am totally willing to admit I'm insanely jealous of their Photoshop skills. Black and white stripes and red hair. Perfect, isn't it?

Bouquet of Paper Roses

Martha Stewart has a simple paper mice tutorial that requires black paper, scissors, masking tape, and a printer. You can use any color you want for the mice though, you don't have to use black. If mice have little purple shadows in your world, then by all means, use purple.
That tutorial got me thinking about silhouettes and places I could put them. I had to take my porch light down and clean it out [it was absolutely filthy], so while it sat on the garage floor drying I got my plastic bat ring out, black construction paper, a pencil, and some scissors, and went to town. I ended up with a porch light I could live with all year.


And check out this adorable Halloween e-card for a quick 'Awwww' and a chuckle. ^_^

Been away, feeling ill.

I got the flu last Thursday, and it knocked me out for a week. Getting out of bed this morning, even though it had to be done, was very difficult. But I'm getting better, thanks to all the Emergen-C, orange juice, and tea.

And speaking of tea, I think owning this teapot would get me better a whole lot faster:

Yay for October!

I love this month. ^_^ Halloween, my birthday, and there's something else about this month that's a little bit more somber. October is breast cancer awareness month. Because of this, and the fact that my grandmother died from this horrible cancer, 10% of everything I earn this month will be donated to research for the cure of breast cancer. I'll be donating to the BCRF: http://www.bcrfcure.org/
Also check out FeelYourBoobies.com to know more about being breast cancer aware.

The Flying Skeleton will be available for home parties in the Oklahoma City area starting in November, so if you'd like to schedule a house party, please email me at theflyingskeleton@gmail.com.
