Welcome to October - the month of Halloween and all things fun. I am excited - a lot. For the 3rd year running, I have planned a Halloween get-together with my 3 friends but on each occasion for the past 2, something has come up that was very unexpected and it didn't go ahead. Even this year, there was a question mark looming!
However, all is well, it has been confirmed and my plans are going ahead. First, I have arranged for my sister to be here as guest of honour. My friends all know her from 50 years ago too and they will be happy to see her again. She has a black cat - 'Magic', so hopefully, she will bring him along for props! LOL. I have a tarantula ordered for the day and oooo....loads more to organise. Lots of which cannot be done just yet as they are last minute things but I will try to keep you up to date with my plans. I have almost finished the invites, so will post those here asap.
I have had several packages arrive this past week and I am soo blessed to have such good friends and acquaintances that have sent me items of great delight, who know of my love for Halloween.
My friend Marsha from Michigan sent me a birthday package - the Halloween issue of PaperCrafts magazine that I have been trying to get here but without success.....some Martha Stewart illuminous glitter, Halloween stickers and chipboard that she got from the craft day on HSN a couple of weeks ago. Thank you sooo much Marsha.
Helen - who claims she doesn't 'do' much Halloween (check out her blog for some fab ideas) kindly sent me some Halloween items that I can't buy down south. There is a store where she lives called Poundworld and I have the most beautiful crystal collection of spider necklace and matching accessories. Also some skeleton hands too. Thank youuu Helen.
Right, gotta fly....
I'm off to market today to see if there is anything I need for the BIG day.
Happy crafting.

Gosh, there's a fair amount of Hallowe'en scariness on here! Very organised you are already :). Love the idea of ordering a tarantula, like you'd order a cake from M and S!
