Halloween Party with A Fanciful Twist - 2011

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 and weaponry that succumbed to the chunkin'

My little sister was a ninja turtle... how cute is that?  

Haley... who was Nancy, but Sid never showed. :( 

Want me to cut you a piece? 
I hope you enjoyed a look inside our party. Be on the lookout for more Halloween photos next week . For more fun click the link below to visit A Fanciful Twist and find more party fun.

I love everything from the "weaponry that succumbed to the chunkin'" to the turtle, the bee and the lovely back of you shot.

What fun!

Happy Fanciful Twist of a Halloween party!

Ok...you get the prize for best party girl! I loved your post and it looked like you were all having a ball! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my party..I think a black and white tree is a fantastic idea! I have a tree up all year round decorated for something or another...this Halloween tree is just one of 3 that I have in my house. The others are black trees and I will be showing them at the Witches Tea Party with Frosted Petunias at the end of this month, so check back! Brightest Blessings, bertie

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...

Halloween Party 2010!!! - For Really This Time.

Image
Who is this? Lurking above our chamber door? A raven?  "Evermore" croaks he. He has claimed his spot and refuses to leave. I am rather fond of him anyway, so as far as I'm concerned he can stay.  Of Course I keep a broom beside my doorway. Bristles up for protection, like a good witch I must admit that you are a little early for the party. I am still trying to get ready, but you can come inside and look around.  Black vines and fairy lights decorate the banister.  The sun shooting into the chandelier makes a creepy sight, especially with Halloween Buntings in Black and White.  Glitter skulls and spiderweb candle holders sparkle from the mantle.  Herbs, flowers and brooms hanging on the wall waiting for me to use them.  Silver skulls surround a batty candelabra in the center of the table.  Am I ready for the party? Well I have on my stripy Halloween socks.  And my witchy clothes. Is a derby a witch hat? Well it is if a witch is wear...
