Haunted Happiness

Hello everyone!

how have you been??

We have had the best week! 

Our weather is absolutely delicious right now..our evenings have become so cool!

Now remember, here in AZ low 60's are very chilly for us..especially since

summer can bring temperatures as high as 121 degrees Fahrenheit.

So, for now, it really feels like Autumn

.  

Not too long ago we watched this

Have any of you ever watched it?
It's only a little silly..I watched this as a child and it scared me so much!
You can find the entire movie on youtube..for some reason, I can't link it.
Here's the trailer though...

I didn't find many Halloween treats this week,

other than this cake mix,

Isn't it neat?

Haven't made it yet, but I'll definitely post when I do. 

We did make a spooktacular hot cocoa.

I added vanilla, cinnamon and extra whipped cream.

When it was ready to go, I threw a few Froot Loops 

& some spooky marshmallows on top.

Don't know if you can make out the shapes..

there's

 a bat,

a ghost 

and a creepy green thing...

could be a hand, could be a monster head, lol

We took our cocoa out to the patio and carved a pumpkin

It was getting dark and a little chilly :)

we put some scary music on and enjoyed the night.

I tried to take a photo of the sky....

A few weeks ago

Helena went to a shop called

As You Wish 

you pick out a white plaster figurine and paint it..

she chose a little candy dish.

We went to pick it up a few days later &

it was nicely glazed and ready for use.

Isn't it cute?

Last month I was chosen to be on a new design team!

It's called Hellgnome's Death Digis..

This is what I made:

A ring

A hair clip

And I embellished and old handbag..

All these were printed out onto Shrinky Dinks paper, colored and baked.

I had so much fun creating these!

All the designs are a little spooky and very versatile.

If you're into digital images, or printing out images and coloring them for your

mixed media cards..check out Stephanie Eaton's Etsy

I also made this..just for fun:)

We went for a walk around our neighborhood the other night.

I had to stop and take a picture of this path...

with all the things I read and all the things I imagine,

there was no way you could get me to walk through here.

it was tooooooooo creepy!

I heard a story the other night..

it sounds a bit like an old urban legend, like last weeks tale..

I liked it enough to tell it to you tonight.

Wrap a blanket around yourself and sit here by the fire with me..

now, let's go...

There once was a couple that loved each other very much.

As time went on, they began fighting often..

They both wanted a divorce, but

they decided to stay together for their 2 year old son..

For a long time it worked and they managed to get along.

One night however,
 when the son was six years old,
 they started arguing, 

 by the time they had finished eating dinner,
 the fight had turned vicious.

It was bedtime for their son, so they got him ready and tucked him in.

The fight  got even worse after he fell asleep,

 and the husband ended up killing the wife.

Not really knowing what else to do,

He bundled his wife's body into the trunk of his car and drove to the 

swamp land at the edge of town.

The stench of the swamp was overpowering, but he trudged through as far as he could.

Finally, finding an area,

he hurriedly dropped  her in.

He arrived back home and quickly cleaned himself up..

the smell of the swamp seemed to have embedded itself into his pores

he could not stop smelling it.

As he drifted off to sleep, he briefly thought of his son and how he would 

be asking for his mother in the morning.

He also thought, if he asks too many questions,
I might have to kill him too.

The next morning,

even after a very hot shower, he noticed that

the smell was still very strong,

 but he woke his son,  helped him dress, then made him breakfast..

Throughout it all, his son remained silent,

 but his eyes never wavered..he watched his father constantly.

After a while, the dad asked

"Son, do you have a question?"

"Yes" he answered

"is it about your mother?"

"Yes" he answered

 "Well, ask me, then."

the child looked at him for a moment 

then said

"Why is mama so pale...?"

"And why have you been giving her a piggy back ride all day?"

That's all for tonight!
I hope you enjoyed this week's
Haunted Humpday!
See you soon
