I Found A Few Little Things

I thought I had cleared off the memory card in our camera but it appears I cleared out most of it. What was left were a few shots of our Thanksgiving weekend trip to Surrey/Vancouver, a bit of Halloween and this year's Christmas decorations. For your viewing pleasure...

These fun guys were at English Bay, the tip of Stanley Park (I think).

The Tree of Gondor!

On the drive home.

The majesty of Mount Robson. Damn clouds.

More on my pumpkin later.

One of my new ornaments, but this is my favourite one of 2012.

Pirates, Ye Be Warned.

How cool is this house?! I was in awe. And envious. It's amazing.

The house is a friggin' pirate ship! And that's one handsome man admiring the work.

The moon is the perfect eerie yellow when lit up at night.

Skeletal riff raff and a jolly roger.

These two chaps were my favourite.

So fun!

A Time To Share Some Ghouls

Hey party people! It's time to share the fun costumes of this past Halloween weekend. Let's start with Seestor as a pirate. I think she looked awesome and I had such fun helping her put it together!

I'm a touch sad that Jags wasn't in his costume for this photo.

Throughout the weekend my friends were disguised as a pirate, Marilyn Monroe, The Black Swan, a mummy, and a vampire. There was also Alice and the Mad Hatter, an alive-again drowned couple from Creepshow, and so many more. With all of our ghoulish buddies we shared in scrumptious food and sweet candies, games and liquor. Halloween is always so much fun!

Me, Q, and C-Man.

Winner of Scariest Costume 2011! Special thanks to Q. xoxo

Never thought I would be able to top Harley Quinn. Boy oh boy, next year will be tough.

What was your disguise?

Reveal #2!

Remember that horrible little photo at the end of the Sneak Peeks post? The blurry and pixely as all hell one? Yeah, I finished it and here are some better photos as promised.

Pay no heed to the kinda crappy job on the limbs. 

It's a sock skeleton! From Martha Stewart and Mahar Dry Goods. Wanna know how to DYI? Check out the video on Martha's site. Bones here is super soft and cuddly aaaaaaand he's wicked cute. Bones was gifted to a friend and I'm going to make his twin to live at our house. Can't wait for our new snuggly roommate!

Halloween Baby

Friends of ours are about to have a baby and I couldn't be more thrilled for them. And I'm equally delighted that this babe will arrive in the best month ever. I'm so delighted in fact that I wanted to keep the gift that we gave them.

Not only was it wrapped with great ribbon, but inside was.....

Kidding! The true gift was:

.....a teeny Halloween jumper and tuque! The best part of the jumper is that it glows in the dark! No chance of losing the babe on All Hallows Eve. Bonus points for us! The gift box doubles as a photo box. Double gift! Needless to say it might be a tad difficult to top the awesomeness of this one. :) Happy First Halloween Baby F!

Hocus Pocus

One of the greatest phrases ever, Hocus Pocus! It's also the name of a movie that I have loved since I was a wee lass. Last week I had decided on Floyd's costume for this year. It will be subtle and amazing, plus it will super cost effective. Wanna know? Floyd will be Binx this year!

Clever right?! Hahaha maybe not but I think it's great. We watched this wonderful movie last night and although I had taken literal inspiration for Floyd's costume prior to pushing play, I hadn't even thought of it for me. Now I have, I'm thinking Sarah? 

She was my favourite of the Sanderson sisters when I was a kid. I'm certainly not a blonde-haired, blue-eyed bombshell, but maybe this year I shall be her anyway. Wigs are cheap. Who knows, still many other ideas floating about.

No matter what I decide, Floyd will look awesome! Now for Arkham.....Garfield perhaps??

:)

Halloween

It's almost here! When October 1st rolls around, the boxes of Halloween goodies come out of hibernation.

October 1st also made it abundantly clear that I am waaaay behind on the costume front. I have no clue what disguise I shall have this year! No clue! I thought of being Catwoman (the Michelle Pfeifer one, not the horrible Halle Berry one. God it was awful.) or something with the little army camouflage dress that I have from Halloween's gone by and didn't get to wear because of the H1N1 infection. Last year I was the lovely Harley Quinn. <3

Tough act to follow, right? Geepers, I better think fast and then work fast to make whatever idea come to life. So what do you think, fellow bloggers? Catwoman? A witch? Military inspired? Come on friends, throw some ideas at me and let me know what you will be dressed as! Time's a-ticking!
