2 More Days Until Halloween! (Dont forget to enter to win The Widow's of Eastwick by Midnight est tonight!)

Share with us:
~How many Jack-O-Lanterns you're carving this year
~What you dressed up as on Halloween last year

Again, I'll go first:

This year I'll carve at least 2 medium or large pumpkins, one for the front porch and 1 for the back patio. Most likely I'll carve a couple of smaller ones and make tea light holders out of some Jack-Be-Little's for the front window sills outside. I'll also carve at least one turnip, as my ancestors in Ireland & England did so many centuries ago (before they brought that tradition to America and we turned it into carving pumpkins).

My profile pic here (in the left hand column) gives a hint of what I dressed as last year. Was I a Witch, a Gypsy or a Goddess...? On Halloween, you can be anything you want to be!

Time is running out!

Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac?!

We're carving two pumpkins--one that my husband will carve the traditional face in and one that my daughter will porbably screw up! Actually my son wanted to paint it but didn't get around to get the Gesso on it yet so there won't be time.

We're carving probably 10 real pumpkins this year, and I have about 15 clay pumpkins as well. For costume, I usually always go as (what else?) a witch! I love that costume, and wish I could wear it all year round. :) Have yourself an awesome Halloween Jo! Enjoy!

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...
