Birthdays and Zombies Oh My!!!!

What a fabulous weekend! Saturday at the Poe Museum was a blast. There were activities for the kids including a costume contest and a mummy wrapping contest. The kids ran around looking for the ghosts that are said to haunt the museum. What a great place!


After the museum we made it with perfect timing to the Richmond Zombie Walk! I am definitely doing that next year! My favorite would have to be either the airline captain and stewardess or the ghoul scout troop. The kids loved it!


Then the next day we went to some church trunk or treats. The kids enjoy it and they are free! We met up with friends and got way too much candy!


I didn't get any pictures of our actual Halloween because it was pouring down rain and freezing. We went to a trunk or treat thing then hit a few houses in our neighborhood. The kids now have enough candy to last weeks, but will probably be gone by tomorrow. Now I have to rest...

I'm still around, sort of

Not having my camera makes me feel like I'm missing an arm or something! I have been crafting but can't share any of it with anyone! It's very frustrating.
On a happier note, I am off work for a week and two days, yea!!! The Hubs is on call so that means I can't work. Plus I took off this weekend coming up to attend one of my FAVORITE annual events her in RVA:

This is a FREE music event that I LOVE going to! The spawn and I have so much fun each year. Unfotunately I missed it last year because I didn't ask off work in time but this year I remembered! If you are anywhere close by I highly recommend you check it out!
Halloween is quickly approaching and the hunt has begun for costumes. I am a HUGE believer in making your own costume, but last year I lamented and let my daughters get made costumes. So I was sure this year they would go for the home-mad look again but I was wrong. The stupid ad for Party City did me in, why oh why do they send that to my house? My youngest wants to be a vampire and my oldest daughter wants to be a cowgirl. My 13 year old wants to be SkyBlu from LMFAO

Sure, no problem.... I do love a challenge! Ta ta my lovies!

Thursday, Bloody Thursday.....

Feeling the Halloween spirit yet? Well here's something to get you in the mood! I'm participating in a Halloween swap through my punkymoms and am having a blast making stuff. Here's my version of the slit throat choker:






I found this pattern at Craftster:
