Revenants Abroad pre-orders open!
I have done it, I have loosed my vampires upon the world! This is both terrifying and exciting. There was a lot of time I thought about just tossing it in a drawer (electronically) and forgetting about it. But then I thought, what the hey, eh? Why not just run it up the proverbial flag … Continue reading Revenants Abroad pre-orders open!
Coffin Hop Blog Tour
The last week of October I'll be participating in the Coffin Hop Blog Tour facilitated and organized by Axel Howerton and RL Treadway. The Facebook group is here if you want to jump on this crazy train. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do, but it will involve some sort of giveaway … Continue reading Coffin Hop Blog Tour
Weekly Card – Queen of Wands
So this week I had to go with the All Hallows Tarot by Robyn Tisch Hollister. And we have the Queen of Wands. Wands are associated with the element of Fire, and creativity. All Queens are associated with Water, so we have Water (emotion) of Fire (passion, creativity, energy). Competent, strong-willed women who do what … Continue reading Weekly Card – Queen of Wands
Happy Halloween
Click on the picture for a Halloween card. I almost feel guilty celebrating with so much destruction and devastation this week. If you're lucky enough to have power and are celebrating, whether it's the secular Halloween or the Witches' New Year of Samhain with its attendant memorials to those who have passed over, the day … Continue reading Happy Halloween
Build Your Own Cemetery!
When I was a kid, there was a house in town that did a Christmas display that would have rivaled Disney. I’m talking a working carousel that carried 3’ tall elf dolls, a working ski lift/skyride that more of these dolls rode in, and loads of other things all over the yard. Sadly, vandals finally … Continue reading Build Your Own Cemetery!
Collecting Vampires
Oh you guys, here it is, my next 'must have!' : Are these the cutest flippin' salt and pepper shakers you've ever seen?!?!?! SQUEEEEEE! They stick together with a little magnet. Talk about magnetic attraction 😉 Click the link or the photo to go to Goreydetails.net (who happen to be here in Portland, btw). I've never … Continue reading Collecting Vampires
Gracie and Skully
I couldn’t resist this as I was about to leave for work this morning. Gracie perched herself so perfectly with the Halloween decor on my dining room table. Normally I would shoo her off the table, but I couldn’t have gotten her to pose like this if my life depended on it. Strike while the … Continue reading Gracie and Skully
The Cats and the Count
I got this papier mache vampire last year, but never put up the photos of the cats I managed to corral into posing with it. This is one of the goofiest decorations I have. Buster, looking his demonic best with the red eyes. The better to impress the Count with, I suppose. Princess Gracie, patiently … Continue reading The Cats and the Count
