Velcome . . . I mean, Welcome . . . to the party!

Be sure to turn the volume up if you'd like to listen to some special party music!



I'm so glad you stopped by for my party. I thought I would share a few pictures from my scrapbook with you while you visit. Let me introduce you to some of my old and more eccentric friends.

You simply must see the Pumpkin Pixies perform . . . I've seen them dozens of times. It is so amazing how they can juggle all of those pumpkins and carve them at the same time, dancing to music no less . . .

He has taught me, yes, little ol' me, to channel the spirits and reveal the secrets of the unknown to those that dare to inquire. After many, many hours of practice and focusing exercises, he has bestowed his blessing on my whimsical abilities to read your future. He has lent me his pet bird, Shadow and I (while harshly rubbing my temple with one hand and taming Shadow with the other) will tune into the spiritual world to tell you the answers you find your soul thirsting for.

If you are an artist, visiting this blog, and wondering if you shall receive fame and fortune for your artwork . . . the answer is becoming clearer . . . it's getting closer . . . it's . . . I see a y and an e . . . YES! You WILL receive fame and fortune for your artwork.

If you are an artist, visiting this blog, and wondering if you are wasting your time and may wander into a quagmire of misfortune and failure . . . I am seeing something . . . it's very foggy . . . but something . . . I see it . . . there it is . . . the answer is NO! You will never fail at any creative undertaking you assign yourself and have good luck forever!

I have many more pictures to show you, but I know you have other parties to visit. And, I'm feeling a bit weak now . . . fortune telling takes so much from me. Before I fade away, let me also introduce you to Sparkula, The Pumpkin Lighter . . .

This is the fairy that makes sure your pumpkins stay lit on Halloween. Leave your jack-o-lanterns out on your porch to welcome your guests and she will flit by now and then to make sure they stay aglow with the warmth of your home. By the way, she loves pickle sandwiches if you'd like to leave her a thank you treat.

Speaking of treats, I have some for you . . .

Some Beetlejuice perhaps?






Maybe some candy . . .



Don't forget to take your party favors before you go . . .



A candy apple and a bag full of a billion gazillion dollars and some good wishes, just for you. Thanks for coming! Please come back - you're welcome anytime!

Oh, I almost forgot about Hilda Sneaksnatcher . . .

. . . be warned! She takes your treats and pumpkins when you're not looking!

Thanks to my husband, mom-in-law, and daughter for decorating for the party and taking some pics for me! It's been an exciting day around here and I couldn't have gotten it all done without their help. Love you guys!
