Awesome! Yes, you absolutely need one for your costume!

So...I caved and got store-bought invites for the Wonderful Witches WIngding I just plain ran out of time! I already got them and they are addressed and ready to mail as soon as my personalized stamps (sanctioned by the USPS) arrive. Here's pics of both:

Note-to-self: if you want to have homemade invitations, start earlier next year!!!

Store-bought invites aren't always bad. I want the plates that go with those for my party but haven't been able to find them this year (either that or the ones that say "Don't Drink and Fly").

The stamps are a really cool idea!

Carved another "witchy" pumpkin today! Oh wait...did I post the one I did earlier? I don't think I did...so here are both of them!





And I'm thinking about adding this saying across my Wicked Witch pumpkin, either with paint or rub-on letters.

They look great!! I especially like the lights inside, particularly the green one. Here's my favorite witchy pumpkin(s):

THose pumpkins are great. I can't imagine carving all of that, Rikki. Very nice job. Mhooch, I love the painted legs and shoes.

Rikki, I have that same costume! Love it!! I also wanted to tell you that there is another thread (under props) named Witch props and ideas.. you really should post pics of your apples and pumpkins! I know everyone there would LOVE to see them!! They look great!! Mhooch, you should post your pumpkins too!! Too cute!!!

Kymmm, I can do that. I've been watching that thread for a while now....lurking.

I've been busy today.....here's the flower arrangement I threw together. It's done in the colors I want to use for the party.

Awesome flowers. While I was pulling out things for my garage sale this weekend, I found a huge container of red silk roses. It was sent to me by my sister when my son died years ago. I kept it in the house for a long time and finally moved it to the garage after decor changed and years past. However, I have used it numerous times as a table arrangement. (silk is so wonderful to wash and use again). Today, I was looking at it and realized that the large vase has a tarnished look and could very easily be made into a nice spooky prop. I plan to buy black roses and pop the red tops off and change them out. I think it will be a nice look.

I know that Mickey will get a great kick out of it as he looks down on the party.

Instead of buying new flowers you can paint those ones black. Search under google for painting silk flowers.
