Thank you ladies for a fun Halloween swap! I love all of your witches.
These are the ones I sent out.
I hope everyone is enjoying these last few days before All Hallows Eve. Some of you are probably getting ready for big parties this weekend or maybe preparing for magickal gatherings at home. My son has been waiting all year long to try out a fog machine he created to scare the trick-or-treaters. And tonight we're hoping to go to a haunted house. Not the mega gorey ones that pop up everywhere (I just don't have the stomach for those) but a real historic Victorian that's turned into a haunted mansion every year by a theatre group. Then they put on a play that moves throughout the house and it's eerie and spooky and the best part is it's all for a charity benefitting a local childrens shelter. I wanted to share pics from last year but they're trapped in a storage device and I can't seem to remember how to open it! I guess I'll have to wait until my son gets home from school to free them lol.
In the mean time here are a few other real haunted mansions from my hometown.

Evangeline's Costume Mansion
Although not really considered a haunted mansion Evangeline's is a local landmark in Old Town Sacramento. It is two historic mansions put together and it houses several floors of every costume, novelty and joke item imaginable. It's a famous tourist attraction and every now and then a celebrity like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith will show up. I wonder what he bought? The car parked in front is the store's official car. It's a vintage hearse!
Have a beautiful spooky day!

Oh my goodness, these are wonderful! I found you through my friend Charlene at My Heart's Ease.
I was so excited to see Evangeline's! I am going to be in Sacremento in March to visit a friend and that is exactly where she is taking me!
Have a lovely day!

Great card swap...everyone so creative! Sounds like a great plan to go the Victorian haunted house and play...that is the kind of thing I love to do too! And I feel your pain over stubborn computer equipment....
A ouija board has never looked so cute! I really love that rich orange of yours too. I'm a bit jelous of the haunted house you are visiting. That sounds like so much fun. I've been trying to find some different ones around here than we've already been to in recent years. They're all quite similar and of that previous type you mentioned. I hope your son has success with his fog machine and you guys get to hear some trick or treaters squeal! ;)
Wow, I love the mansions and I love your card swap...all so lovely!
Oh, how a REALLY great time! That sounds like fun - a ghost story in a old Victorian mansion. :) The cards you received are awesome - and the cards you made are great, too. Theresa
