Handmade Halloween is happening (by category) at
Entertain Exchange.
We are still enjoying and flying on broomsticks to fantastic Practical Magic blogs but one of our hostesses is having such a good time she wants to invite us back for tea October 23
Under a Halloween Moon.
Tea will be a nice break as I am sure no one will have made the entire rounds of A Fanciful Twist’s ginormous universe wide much anticipated Halloween party by then. It begins October 16.
Beginning October 18th, a Pumpkin Parade starts off from Under the Table and Dreaming.
October 24 brings another opportunity to stop for tea.

http://thewitchwaytocraft.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween-tea-party.html She has decided to make the post after the above mentioned Halloween Moon tea party so we can all attend both.

Not so much into Halloween but I love the Colour Challenge!
Looks like a great list of links. I’m bookmarking it for later.
oh wow!!
you’re so organized
I’m jealous
I came by to tell you that your comment on my loving little old couple post made me laugh – they’re not like anything in my family either
Me, organized? That’s not something I will ever really be accused of.
Another identity! Is the hour of the witch bringing out all these alter egos???
I just know those tye-dyed colored poodles belong to YOU! bhwaahhahaahaa!
May the Great Pumpkin grant your wishes for the most powerful computer and service provider around (and a twin for me)!! Halloween is my favorite holiday
And, ooh! Ooh! Don’t forget me! I’m hosting a sweet little Halloween photo contest on my blog too! Launched today! Thanks for linking to Wordful Wednesday! Hope to see you back again next week. With a picture?!
