I'll Put a Spell on You...

Aaah, home at last... I do believe I will sit a "spell"... always nice to settle down with a warm drink and a nice relaxing book...



Yes, the sky is most lovely tonight... dark and eerie... my favorite...



I must check out back and make sure it is dark enough... I believe I will add a touch of orange to make it look more Halloween-y... Voila!...


Oooh, someone is knocking at my door... whooo's there??? Let me just take off my hat...


Can you see who it is bats???.....


Ah yes... it is some of the "ghouls"... please... step inside... walk this way...


Yes, I just barely got home... let me hang my sign up...


Some of the other "ghouls" are waiting to meet you...


And what's your name... my little dearie...


Just getting ready to mix up a little elixir... medicinal purposes, you know...


This ghoul looks like she's already been dipping into the elixir...


Would you like to know what's in the cards for you, hmmm.......


Hang on a minute... somethings about to boil over... let's see, how does that go... double bubble, toil and trouble... yes... that's it!...



I refer to my favorite "recipe" book often this time of year... oh him? He's just a little warlock who likes to hang around...


Yes, purple is very becoming on you... but I am not sure just WHAT it is becoming...


I DO try to join as many organizations as I can...


Care to read one of my favorite magazines...they are quite bewitching...



Yes, I DO try to keep up with current events through my reading as well... Have you heard about all the goings on at the Whaley House???...


You say you need to leave??? Sorry dearies... I believe you had a bit too much of my magic potion... and you know what they say...


You may spend the night... in the basement... if you dare... see you in the morning... maybe...he he he he he...

Hi sweet Julie Marie, forgive me for not visiting earlier this week but as you saw I was so tied up helping my daughter look for her apt! Oh my....what a scary, bewitching and betwitching post this is~lol! It's hard for me to believe that Halloween will be here soon, since it's so hot in Florida. Christmas will be here before we know it!! ~xoxo~ Janet

These are so fun! You really do like Halloween!

Tamerie Shriver said...

You REALLY do like Halloween! I'm lucky if I out my (plastic) pumpkin out. I gave up on real ones because if you carve them, they collapse, and if you don't, you have a pumpkin until Easter.

Rebecca said...

Let me try again!

*****************BOOOOOO!********

C'est Moi, Julie Marie said...

Hello Dearies... thank you all for joining in the fun! See... sometimes I really DO turn into that little ten year old girl again... for awhile anyway! Vicki... maybe I should sell my "elixir" on Etsy... it is homemade, you know... Bisous... Julie Marie
