Welcome to Day 5 of the Blogging A-Z April Challenge, 2013! Each day in April (except Sundays) I will be posting here, and the posts will be in alphabetical order! This blog is all about my love of Halloween. I'm not into gore, so don't expect to see a lot of that. I love exploring cemeteries, so several of those will be featured, as well as props I have made and other ideas I've admired on the Halloween Forum and Haunt Forum and Pinterest.
For some shameless self-promotion, I have 2 other blogs in the challenge, too. Check them out!
Random Ramblings - lives up to its name. Totally random.

This particularly beautiful example is Mary, Queen of Scots.
She was beheaded on February 8, 1587 for treason.
This is tomb of Jean d'Alluye, a 13th century French knight.
He is shown in full knight's gear.
I'm telling my friend about this blog. She loves Halloween.

DeleteHi Lisa, Nana's friend here :) I do love Halloween and I love that you have a countdown on the sidebar!! There is a FB page called 'Everyday is Halloween' and if you like it, they post great pictures and just wonderful things.I'll check out the Halloween Forum.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
I already follow that page! I love the variety of pics that they post, from scary to silly.
DeleteHf is pretty cool, everyone is really nice, and the talent? Wow. Fantastic things you'll find there and I have not yet met anyone on there who will not share how they built a prop or made something.
Ahhh! I love your blog! I also LOVE exploring cemeteries and Halloween is my favorite holiday (my daughter was born on Halloween, too, so there's that) I'm now following you obsessively :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! I think it is the best, funnest Holiday ever!
