There was a chill in the air– misty rain– still after months of preparation the house was READY!

Double greetings

Magic was in the air — Along with Haunting Scarey Music

Even through the fog they came

Welcome to all — DEAD or Alive

For hours they came…

Even ones they called a “Banana Split”

Witchapalooza!

It has been one VERY long week... and I am here to tell you while I have always known I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to technology– this week UNDERSCORED that sooo very well.

*sigh*

I promised a tutorial on our fun Candelabra! — I keep my promises… however when I put it all together…

Ohhh my gosh I about flipped out!!!

It turned out to be 31 pages!!

If I had posted it as a Blog I would have put you ALL asleep… See above    (isn’t he the most darling sleeper? Aren’t all kids the most precious when sleeping?) He is almost 30 years old now– wow…time flies!

Soooo…

Keeping to my word and THEN some I have decided to offer this as a PDF down-loadable Tutorial.

Along with the Detailed instructions on how to assemble the Candelabra will be other up close and details of other original Halloween ideas.

NOTE: This Candelabra will cost you around $20.00 for your MATERIALS <—- CAN you believe that??  (granted you might have to break out a coupon or 2 at Hobby Lobby)

Because I haven’t figured out how to send you directly to a Shopping Cart for this — Just email me… The Cost will be $10.00 payable on PAYPAL.

(if any of you would love to tell me how to make this simpler I would soooo appreciate it.)

My email address is  DipityRoadTutorial at Hotmail.com  (type it like a normal email address)

Don’t forget to visit Ms Beverly on Pink Saturday — I know many of the participants will have a dedication to 9/11.

Spider web table cloth– spider web trivets for flair and of course Spiders hanging off the glasses.  (We were expecting some interesting people for dinner   Bella and Edward…Oh and Jacob too. (what film are they from?)

Close up — details.

Choose another “guest” gift perhaps…

If you are liking tablescapes… stop by Susan’s for Tablescape Thursday! — What fun there is to be had there.

In the mean time — Let’s all put our celebration hats on and show what is Beautiful to you this week.

Link back to this post and of course I would love love love your comments!

Silhouettes are the rage this year!

I don’t know that I ever knew there were trends when it came to Halloween decor– but now I know

Enjoy some Before and Afters — as we have a week of Pre-Halloween, should you need some inspiration for shopping in the next month!

My Little Nook – not feeling much LOVE going from Summer into Fall

Then the Halloween Witch came to add some Spook-tac-ular touches!

Some basic White Pumpkins can go from THIS…

To This!

Or a basic book can go from This…

To a Spooky Vignette..

I’m linking with Metamorphosis Monday–wow… some great ideas there!

Also, It’s So Very Cheri – is having a great DIY gathering.

Eeeeek!!! Look at those eyes!!

This is Tooooo much for me– She looks way too real (and since I have known her since she was in diapers those eyes REALLY creep me out!)

Sooo …when I think of a Witches Party I think much more on the whimsy side of Halloween… join me?

Hahha! … toad – get it?  … TOAD (cracks me up)

All in the details

Witches with Big Butts… (remember these? — click here for a BIGGER look)

Hmmm Interesting headstone doncha think? AND a touch of PINK (stop by Bev with Pink Saturday and say HI!)

Like Mother like Daughter 

Even the Mantle gets a loving touch.

Happy 2009 Halloween everyone! Enjoy the Fun… See you next week– Don’t forget to FALL back (move your clocks back)

TTFN~~ Claudia ♥ ♥

We only get to act like silly kids but one time during the year (unless you are like me and are silly most of time, but that’s for another discussion)… I believe that October is the fun FUN month!

Remember the great yard decor at my Sisters? Well, they just came back from Disney Land and were inspired …

Just for the week of Halloween is the yard transitioning into a more FESTIVE event…

They tell me NEXT year will be HUGE I can’t wait…

 (the wind began to blow…Look what it brought with it!)

Uh huh… I am Sooo not ready for this yet. There, I put it in writing and I wonder if anyone who is in charge of weather alignments pays any attention to my whining? *sigh*

I hope you enjoy your Halloween week! See you on Saturday… Halloweeeeeen!

Mean while visit Susan and all the other Out Door Celebrators.  She is at A Southern Daydreamer.

TTFN~~ Claudia ♥ ♥

  I know –  it’s kinda sorta the same theme (ok, maybe exactly) … BUT—I had so many fun comments from this weekend’s fun – I just wanted to show this a wee bit more…

Mary and her friends at Little Red House has her regular gathering and I wanted to share with them too. Please forgive my Wickedness!

Tis the Season– Ohh I know— it’s a wee bit scary when the sun starts going down and the moon come up…. They say Witches and goblins abound.

Just by chance I happened upon a group of them, and well, frankly I was a little bit taken back.

I thought there would be Crows cawwing in the air, clouds of colored smoke billowing from cauldrons and Witches cackling non stop… but nooooo…

I didn’t find any of that on my outing this week, in fact what I saw would’ve made you Gasp! Oh, yes… it seems that not many  of them were taking serious their Witchie-ness duties at all.

I found some tugging wagons of pumpkins for pumpkin pie I suppose. How scary is that???… NOT!

The weather was so fantastic that I found a group playing Baseball…

I know it was rude but I had to capture another creatures BUTT that was bigger than mine.

One novice in fact was practicing her flying… (big cheater– check out the safety wire. *pffft*)

But then– I guess if you don’t practice  this  could happen if you weren’t paying attention when you were out flying about–  SPLATT!!

Now that’s gonna leave a mark!!

Finally I came around a corner to find this great wall of potions, critters and Books on Spells…

Alas, I found a couple who took their job serious. Granted, it’s weeks before the official day… but common there are stereo types to live up to– right??

Now wasn’t that just fun?

 That’s because today we are participating in My FIRST time — Halloween, A Haunting Magical Celebrationby A Fanciful Twist– Please stop by and see all the other creative bloggers having a fun time this weekend.

Check out the cutest Craft projects Beeb and Mr C did… Great job Mr 8 year old!

This great craft you can pick up at any Hobby Lobby

Now, for one of the few jokes I remember…

There once was a cute little ghost who wanted something new to wear for the Halloween ball.

There were no Ghost shops in his village so he went to his friends for help with his attire.

*sigh* he had to stay home from the ball, because NO one gave a SHEET!

Now, on that silly note– check out Bev at Pink Saturday of course… have the BEST weekend!

Thanks for laughing with me… and I promise to be much more SERIOUS — Cough– come October the 31st!

TTFN~~  Claudia ♥ ♥
