I'll start putting together a list! Ironically, the bushes outside my house have been noisy tonight. Guess the neighbors cant sleep so they all went outside to party. Looking forward to a happy distraction this year! добро пожаловать Хэллоуин🍊

bethene, thank you for the hugs. {{hugs}} back!

Witchful Thinking, sadly, I don't have any kind of online shop. I usually just randomly make stuff when I'm feeling up to it and post it up on my FB page for friends and family to see if they want anything. (Right now, I have been sewing little stuffed fabric pumpkins. We bought a sewing machine and Cricut, this year...before the poop hit the fan, that is...and I have been learning to make fun items with those, as of late, but also make lots of other random crafts such as all the types of things y'all have seen me make for Victims over the years. We make larger things, too, but a bit too large or pricey for a SR, lol. Someday, it would be nice to have a shop. Right now, with so many people home and out of work, the crafting market is a bit too saturated to really make it worthwhile to open an online shop.) Thank you for the good thoughts!

Lol, if I had a Victim that lived, like, a few blocks away who liked the sewing machine and Cricut items that I have been playing around with and currently have the supplies for, like stuffed pumpkins, pot holders, fabric coasters, fabric bookmarks, vinyl personalized glassware, vinyl decals, paper crafts, face masks...LOL! That would be about the only way I could join, right now.

Stinkerbell n Frog, the "like" is for your mentioning you were sorry for my situation, sending good thoughts and glad I had a place like this to vent to (I am glad, too)...I "dislike" that your husband and Frog are having job issues, too, and about all the closings.

Who knows? Maybe some amazing, better paying, local job will suddenly pop up for my husband before the end of signups? Miracles happen...

So, since it's the last decent day of our short lived non-desert temp stretch (I don't live too far from our dear bethene, so I'm sure she probably has similar weather, if not a half day/day's difference), I shall stay up a bit later to get the Halloween string lights hung in bethene's bushes and around the bar...once the bar is set up. As stated, before, I can't supply the pillows and blankets like usual as, due to the dang virus, everyone should bring their own. I suggest the more colorful and festive, the better, to make it more fun in the bushes!!
Has anyone been working on getting the bar area set up? Ohhhh Aaaauditorrrrrr!!! Where are youuuuuuu????

Also...before "Certain Reapers" show up...you know who you are...might I suggest maybe EMPTYING the POOL and shutting off all connections to hoses/water lines near the gathering areas/bushes??? {{WitchyKitty gets her raincoat, umbrella and backup SuperSoaker ready, just in case...}}

Oh, and I mentioned in the previous thread that I'd post this, again, here...started making gerbil masks in case they want them. We don't think gerbils need them, but they are here in case they feel they do, or, like was said, they want to wear them in solidarity with any others wearing them.

"Certain Reapers?" I'll let my HF hubby know your excited to see him!. Sorry for all the stress everyone is going through, I hope this thread is a happy distraction. I LOVE the gerbil masks!! Well done! I'll make sure Red Leader wears one.

Привет друзья!!! it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, we had everything before us, and now it's all closed because of Covid. It's so good to see familiar names again, & some new people! I'm ready for a party at a normal social distance of 6ft in the bushes. ( introverts keep their distance naturally) The drinks look amazing, & maybe Witchy Kitty has some veggie snacks. My coworker took a second job at the store At Home, and has graciously offered her employee discount when I stop in, if only I would stop harassing her for it. (And keys to the building so I can shop undisturbed at night) So...future victim....I cant wait to see your list! I hope between DIY & an insider's sale alert & discount, I can make some nightmares come true! Future Reaper....thanks in advance! I think I'm easy to shop for, and I hope you enjoy playing & join the banter. It's the best part after all the anticipation. Happy Halloween!🎃👻🧙‍♀️🧛‍♀️

Lady Arsenic good to see you! здоровье!
Hey BR1MSTON3!! здоровье! I'll have a mudslide if your pouring!
OK question for you all who here decorates there bed for Halloween . or would like to ?

I like to do pillows and comforter for Halloween
I would like too. I have pumpkins/jac-o-lanterns in every room of the house, with lights on a timer inside. I love it, but the only pillow I have is one that my neighbor Spookerstar's friend made me. (Wicked witch of the west) Pass the hand sanitizer shot & guacamole!!

Witchy Kitty - you should join the card exchange! It's a lot cheaper to send a card than a package and you can opt to send as many or as few as you want. I always make my cards out of whatever I have lying around and it sounds like you are definitely crafty! It makes the daily trip to the mailbox fun in October.

I forget who posted the spiced cider recipe but it sounds delicious. I'll definitely be trying it out, sans alcohol.

Ok off to compose my list...
Oh, is this thread started? I need to look, & come up with a design! I still have pumpkin stamps from last year!

I make it with 360° Chocolate Vodka, will that work?


Aaaaand found some: Hand Sanitizer Spray 6 floz 75% Alcohol Bourbon Scented | TruckerCo USA
Chocolate vodka? Sure! Thanks! Ok, only a place called TruckerCo would have this.....and....Natural Bourbon, Lavender, Mandarin Scent? What? I didn't know Bourbon was a natural scent, & I cant imagine it with lavender and mandarin. Yuck! Thanks for coming through on that Br1mston3.

Last night had a little Jackbox murder trivia party with Graveyard Queen and WitchfulThinking while sipping a jalapeno watermelon margarita (with a side of Tagamet). I think I need to try the Auditor's milder drink next time. It did go nicely with the guacamole and queso however. Thanks for sharing all of the recipes! 🍸🍹
.....a side of Tagamet? I love it! I'd need one too after a jalapeno!

I would like to introduce you all to some lovely wines called 19 Crimes.

Every bottle has a criminal on it & you can DL some app that shows them talking if you point your phone at the bottle.

The origins of the name:
I've seen this at Total Alcoholic! Guess I'll have to try it. The talking pictures conjured images of Harry Potter.
