Happy Halloween!
It's a damp, cool night here but hopefully it didn't dampen the spirits of all of those little trick-or-treaters! I can remember trekking through all sorts of weather-snow rain, fog...we didn't care. We always made sure to have a fantastic time.
Speaking of a fantastic time, my daughter Patricia's long-awaited Halloween party took place this past weekend and I've got lots of great pics to share with you. The creativity was amazing-costumes, food, decorations-absolutely incredible! Everyone had a great time and hopefully it will become an annual get together. My daughter loves to entertain and had a wonderful time planning her first party in her new home. Coming from a family filled with very creative women, it's easy to see that it has certainly rubbed off on her.
Patricia's Steampunk pumpkin had a place of honour!
The crow (to the right of the wine bottles) is a Halloween version of an Advent calendar. Thirty-one keyholes are numbered and an antique key is used to count down the days to Halloween.
A good luck kiss from the lovely hostess.
Steampunkers Priscilla Pettigrew and Cyril Sneer (aka Patricia and hubby Greg).
My prize-winning pumpkin....I used anatomical skeleton prints and decoupaged them to a my pumpkin. I finished it off with a dissected plastic skeleton in chains.
Lots of competition for the pumpkin contest. I love the little black kitty pumpkin in front that my neice Olivia carved...adorable.
The skeleton salad tongs were a huge hit!
A "Wicked Witch" banner that I made last year on loan for the party.
And for the best costumes...the Steampunk witch (my adorable sister Jeannette) and Edwina Scissorhands (my other lovely daughter, Jessica).
The party was a huge success and I'm sure she's already making plans for next year....I can't wait!
Take care.....Marian xo
