Halloween Party

Dear Friends,

It is with Vanessa's blessing that I am extending my apologies to all of you for not having my A Fanciful Twist Halloween Blog Party post ready for you.
Hurricane Sandy is looming and we've cut our Autumn/October vacation short to prepare both of our homes, one in the mountains of Northwest NJ, the other 85 miles away & our full time home, a mile in-land from the coast in East Central NJ. So much to do! And while we are pretty much done here in the mountains, there's much more to do down on the coast.

I am utterly disappointed over not joining all of you tomorrow! I have joined in for the last 4 Vanessa has hosted and look forward to it as October draws near as I not only have a deep affection for all things Autumn, but for Halloween as well!

Also with Vanessa's blessing, I will have a belated post up and visit yours just as soon as I can!

For those in Hurricane Sandy's path: prepare asap, be safe & join me in praying/wishing (or whatever it is that you do!) that we're all spared the worst!

My love to all! XXOO

Keep safe Jo! No worries about Halloween, better late than never ;) I hope the weather doesn't get too bad! I can't believe how far reaching this storm is, it's scary to think it's gone all the way up to New Jersey!

We're praying that this "Frankenstorm" turns out to be more hype than real.... stay safe and have a Happy Halloween!

I'll be thinking of y'all~

The most important thing is that you and your family stay safe. We are hunkered down here in Connecticut. Am hoping that the damage is not as bad as last year's unexpected snow storm. What is happening to our Halloweens as of late? STAY WARM AND SAFE!
Thanks so much everyone for your loving well wishes! They mean so much to me!!! We are finally done prepping here on the coast & after prepping 2 homes for this hurricane in 2 days, we are utterly exhausted! The games begin tomorrow, still praying Sandy surprises us all in a good way and veers off to sea!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
