But I'm still proud o' my dilapidated li'l Haunted Hollows Hallowe'en gingerbread house anyway. ^_^   They had templates n' stuff, but I proverbially chucked 'em as I like to do stuff my own way.   One thing I can't get though- how in HELL do you keep the frosting nozzle ON the frosting tube???  Mine kept coming off, and although I got it to work for a while after I taped it on, the derned thing still overloaded and popped off again. (Fortunately that was later after I'd done all the detail work and was pretty near done w/the project.)  This was from a Hallowe'en kit I got at Wal-Mart, and I am just -too tickled- that they've got an All Hallows equivalent to the classic Christmas type. :D:D

Oh! Plus, I'm extra proud of Monsieur Ghosty.   He's actually filling a hole that I'm guessing was broken into the roof and side of the house during transit.  That whole side of the roof was cracked w/that hole missing too, so I leaked a bunch of frosting down into the crevice as well as inside the wall's resulting hole & put Mr. Ghosty there to fill it.  It almost looks like he's there on purpose, huh? ;D

This plus all the laundry I did today makes me actually productive for the day.. wow...! ;D

(Oh, and sorry for the orange smears around the base- the house came rooted to the board, and that's what happened when I was acclemating to the icing and it kept drippin' offa stuff.  'S why I have the little coffin there on Mr. Ghosty's side- to cover up a seeerious smoodge. ;))

Hey everybody! I hope everyone had a wonderfully spooky Hallowe'en holiday!!
Mine was actually pretty daggon good this year. ^_^ Weds. I dressed up like a witch for work, then stayed in my costume to give out candy to Suzyn & Ian's neighborhood kids. :) (They were all SO polite!! :D:D) I'd gotten to carve 2 cute little pumpkins Monday, (thanks to me mum), then ended up sitting out front of the house I'm staying at with them, while playing Hallowe'en music on my boombox and giving out candy there- 'cause I didn't want them to have to come up either scary, not-so-safe entrance of the place. ^_^ It was good. :)

Then last night I went to Alchemy's newest incarnationa "Arcadia" at Club Five, for SPooky- their big Hallowe'en thang. (Read the same space the old Roxy was in years and YEARS ago!!!;D:D It's now renovated, and looks pretty nice. :):)) I took my landlord Ian out w/me, and we had a pretty blinkin' good time. ^_^ I went as a Crazy Cat lady *pics forthcoming), and can't wait to seee pics of everyone else's costumes!! (Show show!!) A -very- cute Jack Sparrow bought me a drink, and there were some really neat people I actually had the balls to go up to and meet, and some pretty spiff 'stumes in addition. ^_^ The music was meh until about midnight, (at which point it picked up, HARD! ;D:D) and I got to dance dance dance much later than I thought, 'cause MA was, as usual, late late late. (But this time it acutally worked in my FAVOR! ;D:D) It was good, I actually got the chance to get in my groove, and the night overall was pretty danged spiff. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I had a great time, and I hope everyone else's All Hallows Eve rocked hard, too. :D:D

Love,
Nae
