I love Halloween because it's a holiday with no rules. We can do what we want. What I like is to create a costume, go out in public and see what others have come up with. Halloween is a party where everyone is an artist. The atmosphere is always collaborative and spirited.I've told you about the costumes I'm designing this year (I'm making them from scratch) and, certainly, will show you pictures. One of my readers (Cassy) who doesn't have a blog just made a suggestion I like -- for us to hold a virtual Halloween party here where everyone can show off their costumes. This will give everyone a chance to display their ingenuity. Plus, if you have a blog, we'll link to it and you'll get new viewers.
The rules are simple. Everyone is invited. I'll put the post up on Halloween so just send me a picture before that day. You can e-mail a photo (fhu@pipeline.com) or leave a comment with a link to a photo. If you have a blog, I'll link to it next to your picture.
Join the party!
P.S., For those of you whose pictures won't be ready until after Halloween, no problem -- send them to me whenever they're available and I'll add them to the post upon receipt.
Oh this is a great idea! I am actually going to a Halloween party this weekend, so I should be able to send you a pic sometime next week :) I can't wait to see what you & Robin come up with!
ReplyDeleteWell darn it, I wasn't necessarily going to dress up for Halloween this year, but maybe I'll do it for the virtual party, because it sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteDo it for me, Beth. Please!
Deletewoot! This sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea, I'm still deciding on my costume.

I am thinking of putting something together to scare the hell out of my little neighbors who will come by for trick and treating... the only thing is i will probably send the pictures the next day...
ReplyDeleteThat's okay. I'll add them onto the post whenever I receive them.
DeleteOh this sounds fun, I know I will be helping to make a few costumes, but not sure if we are going out this time, but I am certainly looking forward to our dinner party. Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteI just dug out enough stuff to pull together a costume-ish look for your virtual party. I'll have to get the look together for you and send pictures.
ReplyDeleteI will :D Even if I will not join any party and dress up, I will invent something for sure :D
ReplyDeleteI'll be able to send you my pictures after work on Hallowe'en. :) Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI want to play along!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Ally! Thanks for the invite. I'm not a dresser-upper, but this is a special occasion. :)
ReplyDeleteI will only have a store-bought costume this year, but I'll do what I can and send pics on!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! I'll send some pictures after halloween!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I just found out about the party via Amber's blog. I'll be there. Is the party Oct. 31st?
ReplyDeleteYes. Happy to hear you'll be joining us!
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in years, I think I'm excited about Halloween, thanks to you. I'm sure I'll be late to the party (what else is new?!!) but I'll be there with bells on, or maybe spikes, who knows!
