Halloween Party & Giveaway 2009

Greetings!

Thank you so much for stopping by my 'Witch' themed Halloween Extravaganza party!

This year Vanessa Valencia from 'A Fanciful Twist' has once again called out for bloggers all over the world to join her on a great celebration. I of course couldn't resist once again and decided to join. So I gathered a few of my Witchy Gals and enjoyed a great afternoon of merriment.

Thank you my dearies for such and event and wanting to play dress up with me.

I couldn't have done it without any of you :)

Even my black ladies lamp made an appearance all dressed with Witch Hats and Capes. These girls have been with me for over 14 years and are very dear to me; they were a present from my parents just before I got married.



My Wire Halloween Tree with several ornaments made just for this occasion.
To make this tree make sure to visit my tutorial link on my website.

Don't forget to visit my Etsy Shop for some of the decorations that are hanging on the tree.

Candy Corn by the cauldrons with a touch of spider!



Candle light was just the right touch for such a cozy gathering.



More decorations to dress the table.

Witch way indeed!








Oranges dressed as Jack-O-Lanterns made their debut introducing a delicious fruit salad to our Witch guests.

I created this pumpkin stand to go along with a beautifully dressed Witch. So far she's only in sketch stage though. Hopefully she will make an appearance within the next few weeks just in time for Halloween.

Poisoned Apples anyone?!!

Six Witch Hats resting on the couch as we talked and took photos.

This is by far one of the favorite new items that I acquired this year for Halloween. They are 'Trembling Toads' which sing the cutest song!

Lyrics.

I wonder what'll happen when the Witch comes back.

Something bad could happen when the Witch comes back.

It might be something scary. 'Or extraordinary'

We'll be very wary when the Witch comes back.

(Toads start trembling)

But what! Is that the door? I think the Witch is back.

A creaking of the floor. Oh yes, the Witch is back.

I've got a funny notion we'll wind up in a potion.

This is way too much emotion!

The Witch is back!

Gulp!

Excellent Recipe!

Yummy!

Witches and Pumpkins oh my!

Gathering for the feast!

More delicious fruit salad with a touch of eyes!

Beautiful Witch Boot design utensil holders.

And after so much fun and work the hostess was sooo exhausted indeed!

Shoes off if you please!

Three giveaways!

1) A Pumpkin ornament hand sculpted from ProScult Light.

2) 4 Delicious coffee/vanilla scented Halloween gift tags.

3) Surprise Gift.

To enter your name in the Witches' Hat make sure to leave a comment so I know you were here.

I also wanted to share my latest creation.

A Halloween "Witch in a Box".

I decided to change a bit on my style and create a different type of Witch Hat.

I hope you enjoyed this great party as much as we did!!

A special thanks go to my Mom, Sister Joana and Sister in-law Rosa for all the help they provided to make this party such a success.

My Halloween Costume for 2009

I finally found the right Halloween Costume for this year. As you all must know by now, I'm all crazy about Witches. Those pointy hats just make me go absolutely crazy. I can't wait to wear this costume for my sister's Halloween Party Oct. 31st. So far the guest list hit the 40th mark.

***Crackling***

October is here!!! Let the Halloween planning begin!

Today officially the so awaited Black and Orange month begins!

I have so much scheduled for the month of October that just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

So while I laid on my bed, I figured I might as well put my "thinking stockings" on. I know a lot of people prefer to put on a thinking hat, but my orange and black stripes stockings sound so much better...hehehe, specially if the thinking in question is mostly related to Halloween.

So I propped my legs up on the headboard of my bed and grabbed a bag of Halloween Gummy Berries and began to brainstorm.

I will list my schedule below and all the things that I have to work on so you can see what I mean.

So much work!!!!

**grin**

1) Have to finish the Halloween Wire Tree tutorial.

(I want for those that are interested in it to be able to have it early in the month)

2) Have to finish ADO Halloween Challenge Art Doll.

(the deadline for completion is almost here!)

3) Have to finish the final touches for the Halloween Extravaganza Party on the 17th. I have decided to do a "Witch" themed party. A few of us girls will put our black hats on that day to share a day filled of fun.

(Will have the party on the 10th so I have enough time to post the photos)

4) Have to finish the "Sisters" project for one of my customers.

5) Have a Making Strides against breast cancer Walk on the 24th.

6) Help sister plan a Halloween Party from afar for the weekend of Halloween.

Talk about having my hands full. I know that I have left out a few things that will come to mind eventually. I just hope that I can do all of it and still have fun at the same time.

Delicious Halloween Gummy Berries!

Note: Since I entered The October Blog Party from Domestic Witch, I will be posting on a daily basis for the month of October. Now that is going to be a challenge!
