A Thank You, from Witch Hollow

Heloooooo hello!  Warmest greetings & buckets of thank yous, from Witch Hollow!!

It was so hard for me not to pop in for several days.  I hope that everyone who wanted to, had a chance to visit the Halloween parties at their leisure.

Thank you, beyond thank yous, for making it so much fun!!!

We have had, hands down, one of the craziest busy weeks.  With every imaginable thing going wacky, from commercial printers to shoe straps.  But, there has been a lot of good too, baking for mister and his friends, painting furniture, lovely meals, painting, massive cleaning and catching up with life.  Not to mention delicious strolls through the garden, with incredible weather.  Warm days, cool nights.

And now, now we sit on the cusp of the spookiest day of the year.  With last minute costumes and menu decisions for our Halloween feast.

The boys wanted costumes with capes this year.  I tried to convince them to be witches, but, they were like, awe Ma, do we have to be witches????

Miles was like, okay, I'll be a witch if you reeeeeeeeeally want me to.  But I'd rather be a pirate…

Mister Matty (short for Matisse), was like, this is ridiculous.  Isn't playing Jane Austen Lives with you good enough?  Now I have to be a witch for Halloween?

Oh how he whined….

"Riarrrr, riarrrrrrr, grrrrr…"

This stinks….

So then, because I know how it feels for your Mom to make you wear things as a kid, that you just loathed to the core of all cores – I suggested just capes.

No hat.

Just capes.

They loved it.

Miles was like, well, I didn't mind the hat thaaaaat much 😉

Can you believe Miles is alread 11 months old?  With a birthday 1 month away, sniffle!

And so, dressed in our best Halloween capes, we wanted to thank you, thank you, thank you!!  Thank you for joining us for the Halloween party and making it extra ooooodles of fun!  It was marvelous!  Worth every bit!!

Also, please don't forget, we have many free Halloween goodies over in our "Free Treats and Ideas" section.

From masks, to cupcake toppers, to paper spider web tutorials, to a Printable card! All from me, to you!

 

On a side thought…

I recently became better acquainted with Pinterest (thanks to my lovely friend Rosie), and I have to say, I am really loving the concept.  The amount of folks who come here from Pinterest each day is amazing.  Do you love Pinterest?

One reason I 🖤 Pinterest, besides all the collections of inspiration, is that, it has opened my eyes to what folks like, from items I share here.  I almost fell over the first time I saw the hundreds of photos uploaded onto Pinterest from my bloglette  (later photos drop off I am finding). 

Last year when I shared my paper spider web tutorial, I never thought it would be so liked.  I actually thought that I wasn't that amusing with my paper spider webs, haha, and forgot about them.  (HP used my spider webs, in their down-loadable halloween handbook this year)

Until I spied those spider webs pinned more times than I could imagine, way before Halloween.

So, I am enjoying Pinterest very much.  The collection of photos folks post are beyond inspiring.  The autumn collections have been jaw dropping, wow, you Pinterest Pinners are incredible!!!

Your collections of beauty and inspirations are beyond wonderful!

  And the best part is that, when you click on a photo, it takes you to the source of the photo.  Which, is super important.

I get a kick out of seeing my photos out there, and sometimes an especially huge belly laugh from some of the descriptions folks use.  Mainly because I am always amused at people's own interpretations of things.  Most Excellent!

(If you have a Pinterest page, feel free to leave your link in comments, I would love to take a peek)

  It is all very exciting, more collections of eye candy out there than imaginable, fun stuff!!

So, I veered there 😉

But the main thing I wanted to say today is

THANK YOU!!!

The party was a blast because of your visits and participation!

Can it be that Halloween is nipping at our toes so soon?  In mere hours? 

Too sooooon!

Sobs!  Can't it last longer???

I will be back beyond pronto!!

 

Love, Vanessa
