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:

Transformations

In honor of Vanessa's Hauntingly Magical Celebration ~~

Although the calendar clearly says that Autumn is upon us, my little front garden refused to believe. The stubborn Impatiens continued to throw their colorful confetti of pinks with all their hearts...



But alas ~ a swap for happy orange Jack - O - Lanterns...



and creepy crawly spiders was in order....




The lush and cool hues that thrived in the ever-present terra cotta pots...



have transformed into grim and sullen arrangements....



Halloween rocks with their playful expressions...





and morbid wounds...



line the concrete path.



But wait ~ the transformation continues indoors, with black iron Candelabras...



bleeding ghastly red wax...



The mantelpiece is ablaze with the warmth of the season. Happy pumpkin faces galore...



And our holiday mascot sits amongst the other Halloween characters...



patiently waiting for December, when Mr. Skellington will perch upon the tip-top of our family room Christmas Tree.

Until Next Time:
