Halloween Party

I'm still in the pumpkin patch...
Yes, I'm gathering pretties for my Halloween festivities
because I'm joining all at 
Come back later today or Sunday to see what magic spells I cast.

Here's a little of last year's delights to tide you over till I complete this year's illusions.
Please come back for more...

Oooo, I'm so scared! Your snaps are just marvelous. You look so cute too in your costume! I must tell you, since I see you have a picture of Edgar Allen Poe on that mug! My pastor at our church is a descendant of Mr. Scary! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Oh Nita, this is frightening!! You look marvelously scary in your costume with those bug infested treats! I always thought the life size witch in your living room was the creepiest thing ever.

What a fun web site! I think you would love my work. I have an Edgar Allan Poe candle holder...actually two of them, so I appreciate your taste. :) I am an artist as well and make lots of Halloweenish things. Here's a link to my Poe candle holder on Etsy. I'm already looking forward to Halloween!

Take care,
June
