October is getting away from me...

Aaarrgghh!!!! How is it the 13th already? I am losing large parts of this month. With work, school and plans pretty much every weekend I am very very overwhelmed and missing my favorite month. 


I have been sewing halloween costumes in my spare time, and planning my decorations, though not decorating yet. I'm going to get a lot of things together in the next couple of days for the A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party. I have been shopping like a madwoman. I so love Halloween. 
One of my absolute favorite purchases this year: 


A Piggy Witch!!! 
We are jokingly calling her Elphabacon. 


In honor of the Halloween season I have broken out my Halloween Tarot. I bought it a year or two ago, but hadn't really played with it much because I have my favorite deck. I started using it this year and realized it is very similar to the deck I normally use and therefore I can do full readings with it. I am an intuitive reader so sometimes a deck just doesn't work for me. I can use this one though. Yay. 

Well I am going to go back to work and will paste more soon!!

This month has been running away from me. I've gotten the house mostly together, but between my eye and the medications making me so lethargic I've been slacking on art stuff. Ugh.

I do ADORE your Elphabacon! I think I saw Halloween oinkers at Target, but I definitely didn't see any witches! *jealous*

I've got my Halloween Tarot out for the month too! I find I can read very well with it... if all else fails, look to what the cat's up to. ;)

I was laughing because I just had a moment of horror while looking at the calendar - I didn't realize it was the 13th already either!

I love the Halloween Tarot!! My favourite deck!

Cute tarot! I'm gonna start a costume tonight. I was looking at witch hats but decided I could make one. I have some leopard print fabric somewhere, so I'll use that. If I have leftover, I'll sew up a corsetty thing too.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

I decided once again this year to join Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist in a Halloween Party in blogland. This year though I decided to have an actual Halloween party and post the photos from that. So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl. Could you tell?  The back of me.  Charlene (Goddess), Chelsea and Rachel (Bee) watch me give Bobbi and tarot reading.  Amanda, Mike and Chris...just hanging out.  Charlene and Rachel still watching me do readings... I did a lot of them.  Andrew and Amanda haunting the food tables.  Look at me giving readings.  Our pumpkin chunking platform. Essentially we attack pumpkins with weapons.  Seth lining up a pumpkin for destruction.  Wow... those are some dead pumpkins.  Axes a...
