Rosiemoonbeams Halloween Party 2007

Check out all the photos from my last years Halloween Party. The Paper skull above was made by printing out 2 skull pictures, this one was an image I found online. In photoshop I flipped 1 of them, so that when printed and mounted on cardboard and cut out the image is two sided.

This is a graveyard wall mural I did on the wall as you come up the stairs from the front door. Go to Rosiemoonbeams Halloween Party Decorations to view more.
I am busy planning for Halloween Party 2008. I will be posting pictures of the props that I am working on so please check back.

Ghost Pumpkins from my urban garden!

Last spring I planted some flowers in my small urban garden. Some were from plants and some from seeds. But because of our early hot and dry season the seeds failed to sprout. I had added compost from my compost pile that I had started the summer before and tried to keep them watered. Although the seeds I planted failed, there were some surprises. I began to see plants coming up that looked like melon or cucumber leaves. They continued growing and I discovered that they were ornamental pumpkins. I had tossed ornamental pumpkins in the compost last fall after Halloween and Thanksgiving was over. I was happy to see the volunteer plants from the composted pumpkins. Here are my first three Ghost Pumpkins from these plants. There are a lot more of these little tiny 2 ½” white pumpkins growing in my garden and only one little orange pumpkin.

Vintage Halloween Decorations

What's new with you!

Boy, did summer go by fast. Where did it go? What did I do? I found myself answering that last question with; a little bit of this and a little bit of that. As I thought about it, "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" pretty much describes what rosiemoonbeams is. Now that school has started I plan on getting my act together and organize things. I plan on opening an Ebay Store in time for Halloween and I have been listing some vintage items for sale at my Etsy Store. The photo below is a vintage clear plastic floral bracelet I have for sale. Check back often as I will be adding new items a couple of times a week.
