A Fanciful Twist's 2013 Halloween Blog Party ~

It's that time of year again....time for A Fanciful Twist's yearly Halloween Blog Party.  



Well, technically, it's a Halloween Tea Party, but I'm fresh out of tea so I thought we might play a little game instead.

Do you remember playing "I Spy" when you were growing up?  Or, maybe you played it with your own kids.  I used to play this game with my kids when we were on road trips.  It's a guessing game, really.

I might say, "I spy with my little eye...something that is shiny and blue."  Then, the kids would look all around for something shiny and blue.

So on and so one it would go.

Here's a sort of Halloween "I Spy poem."



I spy with my little Halloween eye, something that is....

creepy



and gooey



red


and chewy 



I spy with my little Halloween eye, something that is ....

Conjoined



and crawly



old


and jolly




I spy with my little Halloween eye, something that is....

winged


and rosy


hard



and cozy



I spy with my little Halloween eye, something that is....

funny



and eerie



and downright scary!



Here's to a fun and safe Halloween!

And thank you, Vanessa, for all you do to keep this lovely, arty, blog-world connected.  True friends have been made here in this electronic world. ♥


Until Next Time:

My spooky guy is my oldest son. He's simply wearing once of my Cirque Du Soleil masks and a Halloween cloak, but the photos turned out sooo spooky good!

I love your pics of the Sp0oKy masks - those are genuinely creepy and the filter on the photo makes them even more fun. Yay, Halloween!

The 6 year old in my household loves to play "I Spy" and long car rides are the best time. It keeps him occupied and me from going crazy. Hahaha! ';)

Thanks for letting me a part of your festivity. I'm very late on hopping to other parties, but if you haven't visited mine yet, please feel free to drop by any time. Happy Halloween! :)

Yay, Kim!
You're always so fun. Is that Ava? Spooky mask. Masks always give me a jolt when I see people out and about in them. They're so realistic and spooky nowadays.
Great books, and everything else.
Happy Haunting!
