And the voodoo doll number too. Am a bit more satisfied.

Nice dolls...both of them!! I thought they turned out really nice. If you think the first is too cute, you could always put it in the arms of a creepy doll...like those made from the dollar tree dolls on this site. That would really help.

Awww poor Ecula, you try so hard to get people to post!

I managed to get alot accomplished this weekend and even had a nice forum chat with you, Annea and hallo!
The coffin for the long lost rich Uncle Cadaver is now painted. I also lined the sides and bottom with filling and red fabric. Hubby worked on the pop up mechanism that will raise him from the dead! Also sent out all our invites! Nikita had some really good suggestions that made them even better! I also made a papier maché elbow to stick out of our coffin bar to hide the bottle top opener Oh and I also visited the second hand stores and found a really nice suit jacket for our dead uncle....and only 4 euros Oh yeah, we also found a black sheep costume for hubby and ordered it via the net!

Oh and I'm also busy writing the old man's last will and testament. And busy thinking of how to organise our game. I'll probably post about it to ask for ideas. Hope someone replies lol

I think I am a bit desperate and most of all LAZY
It would be easier for me to have all the stuff posted here.
Then I wouldn't have to go through all these threads :P

And a bit smart too. Can be, that someone reads this thread
from beginning or starts here. Have to be practical.

Anyway, have been going through photo albums and what
a great stuff there is!

That dead uncle thing sounds funny!

Still looking for location here. Had a meeting with Vampire-roleplayers this weekend. They will come as guests of honour, princes of darkness (read: crew) . Appearantly there are 13 clans of Vampires, with each their own ways, so I've got a lot of reading to do!

Still trying to figure out what story exactly to go with...Must be some argument between the clans...

Flyers and invitations will be made this week, sned out wednesday at the latest...

And friday is the first and only crewmeeting; we'll go out to the forest, where everyone can meet, go through the day-plan and get in to their roles. Nothing like a campfire and forest at night to get into the mood!

There is a forest in Den Haag? I thought it was a jungle

We were supposed to have some zombie role players come to our party last year. They never showed
Wear a thick scarf to protect your neck from those blood thirsty vampires friday night!

Ecula - nice voodoo dolls!
MsM - i like the black sheep costume you got, and 4€ is really good going for a suit jacket, how's the coffin looking?

I wanted to ask if anyone has used Betty Crocker cupcake toppings, are they OK?

That sucks! Or maybe they were all killed by zombie hunters,
so they couldn't come!

I don't think we have them here in Finland. So can't tell.

It takes an hour for me to get to the work. I use buses. Don't
even have driver's license. As my friends got it, I took the
money and went to Germany. I don't really need a car here in Helsinki.

But anyway. I always have my Moleskine-notebook with me, where
I then draw and write things. At the time mostly related to Halloween.
I got many good ideas today. I am for example going to buy couple
of pomegranates, cut them to half and then dip in fake blood. I am
using them for still-lifes.

Why wouldnt they be ok?
There's a Asian supermarket here that sells betty crocker and pilsbury cake mixes and icings, dont recall seeing decorations though.
Oh and that sheep costume was half price on that fancy dress site! I was also surprised to see that the euro is almost equal to the pound!
