I apologize for the lack of updates and review of last Halloween.<br /><br />Less than 2 weeks after Halloween, I lost my husband. His passing was sudden and unexpected and plunged me into a grief I could never have imagined. I'm beginning to emerge and hope to blog again soon.<br /><br />Amy<br /><br />© 2010 Haunted YardHaunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-46263963372380874562009-10-30T20:42:00.002-06:002009-10-30T20:49:22.995-06:00NibblesI whipped up some <a href="http://britta.com/HW/HWr.html#fingers">finger cookies</a> and <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/smoked-salmon-spread-recipe2/index.html">brains</a> last night to snack on this weekend.

When I answer that I made it, the second most asked question is "How?" So, I've put together a quick tutorial to make a coffin purse.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div>Items you'll need to make the purse are*: foam craft board, fabric (I used a faux leather because it is durable and the cut edges won't fray), a ruler, pencil, craft glue, craft knife and purse accessories. I ordered hinges, clasps and the handle from <a href="http://www.lightnupcigars.com/ciboxac.html">Light'n Up</a>. </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396725037542121634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTbdUhEeRlzj8EMStDsd5e8PoCqSgknmd1ZljxWS87ZE3jVTzSbZIjrYd6IpHPBU5Wd-n4UKHIQX9xNan2mwHHWByFgMamYos-AtLsbJC3O4s-RSGbjJSiBSfUWvIyfWx2cStW/s320/100_2237.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396725049650181810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidf95X23HEOpd5q7_i_a096SGbpTnbXpX0qag3XjSP1fV_z4qbjqbFwVL4or2JZHmTUWQtbhPrTkklOb2rQ0aU9RUyeveXEFLVRqNBjVyu6EKJ_BF4eSSKJYCQt6vmA8QB2uX_/s320/100_2239.JPG" border="0" /> </div><br /><div>To start, I traced out the shape of the coffin in the size I wanted on the foam board. I drew a rectangle 7 inches by 11 inches. Starting from the upper left corner, I measured down 1.25 inches and to the right 3 inches. I made the same measurements from the bottom left corner. From the top right corner, I measured down 1.5 inches and measured up 1.5 inches from the bottom right corner.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396726129637989826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDBvExshxxt0JeMlh8SlzZ0m033j155lK8_KPjq3XcI8WYjg-XpfPbjoUJmHwbfSA_wgRBAuJ0Q6MCPPMYj3MdCdLGKWoDOheSnZTZ7HemMm0Y0AsihjQwL-zM8xf8Nci6FLa/s320/100_2242.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Then, I just connected my measured marks to create the shape of the coffin. Repeat to create the lid for the purse.*<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396727550462273218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFrNjHSAW-4pT2UqA4cemyh_2gAYmbEVLjo2ZRWwe5QUMvSAbKvMCm2DEGUHWSDDBzuKXv0jtIPVJOqhLaFT0zopJvefyL72DnkjuHHDPgxwh3GlQ_zUKgLHS_Hivz38j2dKYJ/s320/100_2244.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396727557256949586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4uumcbDNlksUQVrk-o4LjjmjUe-dFMOCsSVjxhaZBcGL2d-O_hwnSF6ycRhe8JtUN6l7Ju5_2vMDxiUCmuOKR1iU9zF6M7BAhhHWHJWVhnym4dDaFAs56ROAzCaiWNDv5qfSM/s320/100_2245.JPG" border="0" /><br />With a sharp craft knife and a straight edge, I carefully cut out the shapes. To make the sides of the purse, I measured the lengths of each side and cut out pieces 3 inches high for the base and 1/2 inch for the lid. With a bead of glue I attached the sides and secured them with duct tape. </div><div><div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396731645225891586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbOV2qBM7Ee4irss46_sZQvu_O_rphEkHS1hNL0wnPyGuW1oJpHPa1XAsdS0l8jPHUZPLWOZIbijRWj2Z0_bVzVfE7CxLZVT5xJa_pL4V5-1F7sGHgMbJAAOrw6NueDHxGm1fB/s320/100_2253.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396731647999881618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2IaM6psylPdN5jrh1bSCJUQi-GhUESB0IJ-QZfmktqS9HazL8c4faZUWl9OAFhqAvdQZ_g5uiBxQF2_m8E5foj0_IdLcWUcWA-SOx9vHFmrkmo8aYX500Mv4jLZynwmhMaDU/s320/100_2254.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396731641967363970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdt1Kz2iFuh-75vrF365gmmHJ_oOvqH0xXHdEtTL9rdH0JBC9PaCGye-06nOkKulWTkUcJt1rcltZtMOgjta8qgpnVP8e2E8GRjPJDXrvcUQAd4cBGdp4ijYbJqhBm9YF5MTtt/s320/100_2252.JPG" border="0" /><br />Next, I traced the coffin on to my fabric. I measured perpendicular to each corner of the box and traced a rectangle large enough to cover the outside and inside of the box.

Simply add a shot of vanilla vodka to a pumpkin ale and serve in a glass rimmed with brown sugar. In my case, I chose Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale from <a href="http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/">Blue Moon</a>. My verdict? Well, I'm not a beer fan, so the brown sugar was my favorite part. That's not to say I found it terrible, and it's definitely a great way to use the remaining 5 bottles. I did put my <a href="http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/beerProfile.php?beer_id=11">Nosferatu </a> beer glasses to good use. <div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394881759414588706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1HEks3LjyruPKjXp3FPe0TbgaUfY6z853HgUW6czHdmaJjolwC7FabxsCyPyXnmklacKFmA0fUTwhcubntk5Z-RkcSeT8Rg1Eygg6pBqITPt7L6jkpIf7GLOQa8x-UMBG74p/s320/100_2275.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div></div><div>© 2009 Haunted Yard</div></div>Haunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-35831607123470690822009-10-19T20:34:00.005-06:002009-10-20T20:27:52.688-06:00Packing Tape Transfer<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>I stumbled upon <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2009/10/spooky-packing-tape-transfers.html">this</a> tutorial for packing tape transfer votive holders. I love this idea and couldn't wait to try it out myself. I followed the directions by printing some images from <a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/">The Graphics Fairy </a>with a laser printer. Then, I covered the image with a piece of packing tape making sure to rub the image well with a burnishing tool (a craft stick or your fingernail will work too). Then, I soaked the image in warm water until the paper rubbed off easily. Finally, I just slapped it on my glass holders. I love the way they turned out!

I usually have a few year's worth of costume ideas floating around in the back of my mind and I usually always make or assemble our costume. We rarely do couple's costumes but last year I thought it would be fun to dress as Homer and Marge Simpson. I've been purchasing little things here and there to make the costumes and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nearly</span> had everything ready when my husband tells me last night he'd rather go as a different cartoon dad. </div><br /><div>*sigh*</div><br /><div>So, plans were scrapped and new costumes were ordered last night with rush shipping since the party is a little over a week away. It's the first time in a long time I'm not making my costume, but that's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">OK</span>. I plan to add a few little things to make it my own.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For those who have the time and skill, these <a href="http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/37142">homemade costumes</a> are great. I might have to steal the Death Becomes Her costume for next year.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>In keeping with the costume theme, here's an adorable picture of my husband and his sister as the devil and angel. Some things never change. </div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392891412885723746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnQnvU6f3_fwlxxQ-KyqhFcJcNGbl1AuplukQistE3DIsTjCwqUzqePlPub9_fHbJyZlqf_vmVi9Cbv1knh6dnA8HCDo8p_c_hUW_sgxJR1Xzo8Y4LkzkpavPTKrdR5OKSykCO/s320/l_8b84a65ed61d94e37fd99c1e31208af2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>© 2009 Haunted Yard</div>Haunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-55257505271082864712009-10-12T19:25:00.003-06:002009-10-12T19:32:07.068-06:00Lost my Halloween SpiritThis very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">un</span>-fall-like weather we've been having is really getting me down. With snow on the ground for a week and daytime temps barely getting above 30 and nighttime temps in the single digits, my Halloween spirit has sure been in the dumps. I've only been able to light up my yard twice since I set up. I'm just going to have to light some fall-scented candles, sneak down into the craft dungeon and take advantage of some indoor time to get some Halloween crafts in the bag.<br />© 2009 Haunted YardHaunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-76372664882206622602009-10-07T19:22:00.004-06:002009-10-07T19:38:37.779-06:00New Face for BorisAfter 8 years of enduring fall weather in Wyoming, my <a href="http://hauntedyard.blogspot.com/2006/07/birth-of-boris.html">Boris the Butler</a> prop was showing some major wear and tear.

I spent Friday night and all day Saturday hauling, sorting, fixing, painting and setting-up the yard to avoid the big snow storm in the forecast. Luckily, I was able to get everything set up before the rain yesterday turned to big white flakes. I have to admit, the yard looks kind of cool covered in white.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389212757920933250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS62IsPv4_HoGc0vsD1TxJvM78QR1QY8Y0DolXlXCsACHef0-AuXKOC39YJCEXHgnnL1DlujdnAvqvvRwtMHYZgE1OkdTTgHzSyB7fACpKv8-HK8aM7-X29UtEAFGLcrKyrK3Y/s320/100_2215.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389212767971176610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKLOr7DwVhFeD8qDFrbwFY1MUeCqjNQhSM9rkYCiV2GIOzN2fy3VkpXVFEzwFNsawK_RtAtShvJ-v0UHPiinQR0Ww5tHjNrILyNx_sHOzjz18mX7K4vyzxO3QGdeuNybSnEofT/s320/100_2216.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389212772391355906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfF79T7frmpK-1RTY2Y41cM5sj9KWcxuwVpm02AUdWzG3Yldig-N_S-e2slCLzcWtF4G4GwTw9x67LZo5pVrgTG4lXpxRREoQQrDTpV5p2kW47rGyCDl2yyHt-6fulSrSEXu1n/s320/100_2217.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>© 2009 Haunted Yard</div></div></div>Haunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-12565069783184378752009-09-30T20:41:00.006-06:002009-09-30T21:00:28.888-06:00More Halloween JewelryI've listed sme more Halloween jewelry in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6940560">Etsy shop</a>.<br /><br /><br /><div>Garnet and Sterling Silver Skull Earrings</div><br /><p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6940560"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387458080050743106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOwlq4L7P3G83i7vOrWYa3qmodisMzMJPWdPoM1RJ2N4Y-gDFLTQicVOpga0E9yMNElQZi3OhLr8SXuxb1HBVJb2tZGEyWYbLbedJUECmROI25HIwOuvAOhArlLoh_E-rqudZl/s320/100_2000.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p>Gemstone Dangle Earrings in Halloween Colors</p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30948283"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387458637205068114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF0GEwZepakxkG2DCCkqZLvhNOuCkkTuIu1be7-Nh5TLapcA1YD_cOsDFNQTx6XV_foPRRohUhDaekYJwCW07eb6wuuWo_Vz3NyNosa0CIC7TrKFw_2U6Xs_lN0X4AwkahwDqZ/s320/100_2082.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Wishbone Earrings in Halloween Colors<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387459811307621442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh11VK0EOphFAJgNzbCuyLaF6RkoHsYW2lS06S8s7_mn4FMUQNavVDc0fHtj9o455y2J53L2z9Fg9YO244-K0uRYD0dwzKiDeucKIH5U_ev56fY62j3nh-kCWMefJMCSdkENg3E/s320/100_2068.JPG" border="0" /> <br /><p><br />Smiling Halloween Skull Necklace</p><p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31392887"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387460696276842642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJubbUGblWoA03VmBkPl-D5FESfiFX0RkAgdfCWxqBDca1MYCC6AlfvtScuZKukFVXOwbvOi1Mm95QnDmhvmbWpabglSkDkeDh9lTrjM6yGR-cpHuRDxaM1rnDPKq1D-f2vLk4/s320/100_2140.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p><br /></p><br />© 2009 Haunted YardHaunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-69033278865070956822009-09-29T19:51:00.004-06:002009-09-29T20:16:41.799-06:00Halloween Shoes<div><div>I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">apologize</span> for the lack of updates lately.

Throw Halloween themed recipes in the mix, and I'm one happy witch! That's why I was so pleased to get my copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ghoulish-Goodies-Eyeballs-Cupcakes-Frightful/dp/1603421467/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253064642&sr=8-1">Ghoulish Goodies</a> by Sharon Bowers. With an eye catching cover, I was eager to find some yummy and spooky treats to make for and with my nieces and nephews. <br />
The book has a nice collection of recipes and one recipe I was glad to see <em>omitted</em> was the kitty litter cake. I can't tell you how un-Halloween I think it is. In fact, the author shares my dislike in the introduction. I like that this book has a wide range of recipes including some nice fall-themed recipes mixed in with the creepy and spooky. I'm eager to try out the pumpkin seed brittle and the orange rice with bacon (pumpkin risotto). My nephew was impressed with the cup of worms recipe with chocolate pudding, crushed chocolate cookies and gummy worms. What is is with 7 year old boys and worms? The book also has great pictures and fun illustrations that make just flipping through the book fun.<br />
Overall, I think this book is a great value and and fun for young and old alike. I can't wait to get cooking!<br />
<br />
Happy Haunting!<br />

Don't get me wrong; I love Halloween as much as the next ghoul, but having a wedding on Halloween meant that I would miss out on haunting my yard. I just didn't want to do it. Call me selfish. Besides, that meant that every year on our anniversary, I would be busy answering the door for trick-or-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">treaters</span>. It's so much fun but it's not very romantic. So we did the next best thing and jetted off to Vegas to get married. Best. Idea. Ever.<br /><br /><div>Though we chose not to get married on the best day of the year, I still love to look at Halloween-themed wedding ideas. They are great resources for cool, elegant and creepy decorating ideas.</div><div> </div><div>I love this idea or wrapping the table settings and centerpieces with spider webs. </div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371506992828186290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcm_D12w9RCQMXFfyIDJffXdacAl-HXgo0l6c0jj0tvs0a10UaE1KR7mNV1MJQISFHv3AIClZxvi55r8G5s_jtIQ6A-smSdaVL52wH56LKbkX2Wv9F0jXVwIEZf5Zls9zpBTx/s320/HalloweenWedding.jpg" border="0" />I also love the skull theme and rhinestone accents from <a href="http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/themes/halloween/ghouls_night_halloween_party/">Hostess with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mostess</span>.</a> Though I'm not a big fan of pink, it would be easy to customize the colors.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371508754590029090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtso9-kAt2Mlgjn-oXnkyhLz4EWSizu5Y03HMisdIu2cUffa0Bgn6iFkwDojuDNuJrj_7pTBoNTWdpmYGNWjorZe47zm-MSFjBEAeoNIUdSZwHH7hAxCgodadIQHyBK-myj5X/s320/image_2592_608_1000.jpg" border="0" />How cool would a <a href="http://www.nofussfabulous.com/?p=386">mad scientist theme </a>be for a wedding?

The days will soon be shorter and the nights will have the perfect fall chill. My mind is already turning to this year's Halloween and I'm not the only one. I've begun my annual Halloween blog hunt. Every year starting around the end of July or the beginning of August, I scour the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Internet</span> looking for Halloween blogs and website to get ideas and inspirations for the year's haunt. Here are a couple that have caught my attention.<br /><br /><a href="http://lovemanor.com/">Love Manor</a> -Perfectly creepy, wonderful pictures!<br /><a href="http://web.mac.com/meestercranky/SpookyPlace/TheGate.html">Real Spooky Place</a> -A home haunter with tons of great ideas for fellow haunters.<br /><a href="http://halloweenalchemy.blogspot.com/">Halloween Alchemy</a> -Blog from a mixed media Halloween artist<br /><a href="http://spiritofhalloween.blogspot.com/">Orange and Black</a> -A fun Halloween blog<br /><br />Happy Haunting!<br />© 2009 Haunted YardHaunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-66620810272216854882009-05-04T21:37:00.003-06:002009-05-04T21:44:16.678-06:00Classy Broad!This isn't Halloween related, but I thought I'd post it anyway. I opened my own etsy shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6940560">Classy Broad Jewelry</a> and I've also started a <a href="http://classybroadjewelry.blogspot.com/">blog.</a> I'm having a great time making the jewelry, and I find that being creative really relaxes me. I'm sure I'll have some Halloween-inspired pieces later this year!<br /><br />© 2008 Haunted YardHaunted Yardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441972468867803500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31222684.post-69722901704832991822008-11-01T22:07:00.020-06:002008-11-02T11:53:04.582-07:00Halloween 08- The aftermath!Last night was so much fun! We had a record number of trick-or-treaters this year with 68 kids. All of them were brave enough to come to the door this year, and only one was scared to tears. She was quite little, but seemed to relax when I told her they were only "toys."

one that I hosted for the girls at work and the annual costume party hosted by my boss. The "ghoul's" party was a cocktail happy hour at my house with drinks and nibbles. I served pumpkin martinis, Zombies and wine. The pumpkin martinis were something I just made up. Here's the recipe:<br /><br />2 oz pumpkin infused vodka*<br />1 oz pumpkin pie spiced simple syrup**<br />1 oz half and half<br /><br />Pour vodka, syrup and half & half in a martini shaker with ice. Shake and serve in beakers. <br />*The pumpkin vodka is 1/4 cup pumpkin puree mixed into a bottle of vanilla vodka. <br />**The simple syrup is made with 1 cup sugar, 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. Heat in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved.<br /><br />Zombies are cocktail from the 1930's and are very strong, so I served them in test tubes. Here's the recipe I used:<br /><br />1 part Dark Rum <br />1 part White Rum <br />1 part Spiced Rum <br />1/2 part Apricot Brandy <br />1 Dash Sugar Syrup <br />1/2 part Lime Juice <br />1/2 part Pineapple Juice <br /><br />Finally, I served a red wine and a white wine with the bottle decorated with Martha Stewart labels. <br />Here's the drink table.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirt1lrcVCRs41Zo-E-w7p4gCNMqTKSV5IcD1CCTCLUHtFzQun7WkbYTYOfygYz2LA_wmwwkwsnzDiKGcQ852RAfzKYj82p_kGpQtXdmGPRJIQ3R0GTumhwcsMOFnjc7CexOMpH/s1600-h/100_0903.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirt1lrcVCRs41Zo-E-w7p4gCNMqTKSV5IcD1CCTCLUHtFzQun7WkbYTYOfygYz2LA_wmwwkwsnzDiKGcQ852RAfzKYj82p_kGpQtXdmGPRJIQ3R0GTumhwcsMOFnjc7CexOMpH/s320/100_0903.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262335101982460322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAb_PgnZKlwaTvp5JNe2glb3Ru1luARKi8v2rVxfph5E4QYX4Q1aMLDUWJwBvyM5i6XQ3gWDfaptBksjHdXeUimlNyjT1Pi1FIH1KDnqjdn5Z6OWM3LebOTKg3dnECnopLlyA9/s1600-h/100_0905.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAb_PgnZKlwaTvp5JNe2glb3Ru1luARKi8v2rVxfph5E4QYX4Q1aMLDUWJwBvyM5i6XQ3gWDfaptBksjHdXeUimlNyjT1Pi1FIH1KDnqjdn5Z6OWM3LebOTKg3dnECnopLlyA9/s320/100_0905.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262335020567204786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5gE14ft51dZshxjw9nq4fbayRv3i6PfG3GlcWnIzNsW8OrgTkE0nH1xI9OTXA-8gL8LIe3lUBFrVWaLhl-GaI9ZmJFTqNaI-z1zcwpvP-iCxi3u08JIwzwGcxN223xb9nGN5/s1600-h/100_0904.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5gE14ft51dZshxjw9nq4fbayRv3i6PfG3GlcWnIzNsW8OrgTkE0nH1xI9OTXA-8gL8LIe3lUBFrVWaLhl-GaI9ZmJFTqNaI-z1zcwpvP-iCxi3u08JIwzwGcxN223xb9nGN5/s320/100_0904.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262335015971760642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4ghiAZb7LDhLDLKT_MYULvqsAOhiw3NkJ3rStnXXGuV-nIZKxOHtzkDw45G6CK-wNGDzaJu_fv3793CQrg0EzI61030vxxZ3Ix0VUu4d4l7axbeMrmjkxC5gLQXNyI-Gl09B/s1600-h/100_0900.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4ghiAZb7LDhLDLKT_MYULvqsAOhiw3NkJ3rStnXXGuV-nIZKxOHtzkDw45G6CK-wNGDzaJu_fv3793CQrg0EzI61030vxxZ3Ix0VUu4d4l7axbeMrmjkxC5gLQXNyI-Gl09B/s320/100_0900.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262335011408953682" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRelnp0DedJdoXQejHoK67R1zrYnKN8eaGN6u-icYW4ghVc4LkU-FAITIOxymeBjb2RwgN2rJzPUByyA7zte6PB5j77Tv2CedQHgyC3WSPY8HXNt2idg6okBV7taMnIa0Zloz/s1600-h/100_0902.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRelnp0DedJdoXQejHoK67R1zrYnKN8eaGN6u-icYW4ghVc4LkU-FAITIOxymeBjb2RwgN2rJzPUByyA7zte6PB5j77Tv2CedQHgyC3WSPY8HXNt2idg6okBV7taMnIa0Zloz/s320/100_0902.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262335000026242818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqMoN70kFHnNfcdXrFLvW6P1zfzy18atiXzqVv8-LmoNXV9xebiQ6l2xx151tbqODvubSyIv9iAbLyLZnKG6arVX7Tu2IsNwQFelUBRBKLN-feLJZwNW5uSJ0wQj6c1nZFBDzb/s1600-h/100_0904.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqMoN70kFHnNfcdXrFLvW6P1zfzy18atiXzqVv8-LmoNXV9xebiQ6l2xx151tbqODvubSyIv9iAbLyLZnKG6arVX7Tu2IsNwQFelUBRBKLN-feLJZwNW5uSJ0wQj6c1nZFBDzb/s320/100_0904.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262333670545942882" /></a><br /><br />On Saturday, my boss hosted a costume party at his house.

Every year, it seems like the project gets pushed back and I say to myself, "I'll do it next year." <br /><br />Well, this year, I finally did it! <br /><br />I started the project by corpsing a "Blucky" (cheap plastic skeleton found at most retailers).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcbDUxv0Vw201HWDlWGF_5hAZ5phBpgQINren8XclkOYhjnO4o7zQEascggdxTwBczcPsfKDxXcJjv5YF1eSov8HfIDF8L_1ghMF23vZccjlHIChZfAe0hqGCtsmQGSpRjsVV/s1600-h/100_0866.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcbDUxv0Vw201HWDlWGF_5hAZ5phBpgQINren8XclkOYhjnO4o7zQEascggdxTwBczcPsfKDxXcJjv5YF1eSov8HfIDF8L_1ghMF23vZccjlHIChZfAe0hqGCtsmQGSpRjsVV/s320/100_0866.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252734801619938882" /></a><br /><br />There are numerous tutorials on how to make a corpse with a Blucky, so I browsed a couple of sites and decided to just wing it.<br /><br />I started by cutting some of the plastic away from the ribs and limbs to make the skeleton look a little more realistic. I also swapped out his head with a Styrofoam skull.

Here's a tip: when working with tacky substances such as latex floor adhesive, have a small pile of baby powder near by. I dipped my sticky fingers into the powder to keep them from sticking to everything else and each other. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKw4d9_sMQha4gBwRMsoehAshjzC7dstzi-AGg21HRTQ-uNWVtBa5udbASUpF1uUCYIoi1ZrwB_E2xQbxTesj0_hDX_sdysf1EeprK7mPMf0CLdhGajLDoSGmQC4FSCG3Xj45i/s1600-h/100_0871.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKw4d9_sMQha4gBwRMsoehAshjzC7dstzi-AGg21HRTQ-uNWVtBa5udbASUpF1uUCYIoi1ZrwB_E2xQbxTesj0_hDX_sdysf1EeprK7mPMf0CLdhGajLDoSGmQC4FSCG3Xj45i/s320/100_0871.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252735590238406034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGP23bFicIEUzcnyksvGOosWisF7HW0RDNfuhhhyphenhyphenOYUARe6syL1WyRzkbnqZiWgc3CBgrtmcTD2rOQkpqmvH67JYRWBASx_KuRZQzLvo8bvOVBTBPUILwaUMiK_ctTa1icAqa/s1600-h/100_0872.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGP23bFicIEUzcnyksvGOosWisF7HW0RDNfuhhhyphenhyphenOYUARe6syL1WyRzkbnqZiWgc3CBgrtmcTD2rOQkpqmvH67JYRWBASx_KuRZQzLvo8bvOVBTBPUILwaUMiK_ctTa1icAqa/s320/100_0872.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252735598046114370" /></a><br /><br />After the latex was dry and no longer tacky to the touch, I aplied a generous layer of Mod Podge (matte finish).

I found plans to make the coffin with a single 4X8 sheet of plywood <a href="http://www.shallowvalley.com/pincherplansprint.html">here</a>. Instead of using a sheet of plywood, I decided to use a sheet of Styrofoam bead board insulation. I wanted to be able to move and carry the coffin with ease!<br /><br />Using a marker and straight edge, I drew my coffin pieces according to the plans. I used my jig saw to cut the pieces out. It's a little messy, but very quick! Once all the pieces were cut out, I used Duct tape to affix the sides to the base. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XmFbJoAVRNNc_8UaQtA2RJsOA60e0tEC2voVpPD9pxP9CG2kzd6LyLWaM_Yznr6B8rw3jT9v87KOctYEzofVMLZnSV7d2iqD67b5pZp7AKug0kxblm5Y8kslxHMjdd6_gRnS/s1600-h/100_0881.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XmFbJoAVRNNc_8UaQtA2RJsOA60e0tEC2voVpPD9pxP9CG2kzd6LyLWaM_Yznr6B8rw3jT9v87KOctYEzofVMLZnSV7d2iqD67b5pZp7AKug0kxblm5Y8kslxHMjdd6_gRnS/s320/100_0881.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252740361773473394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGEbIaVoT7WC59INpna5xZlTJ-ditGwloEG65yKLeSfm3rF91eF-6IWTi5P-1dae9pN_6GC_l7tvL78u7pr94jQlLBjvcyuteLsvPmgzwqODRW-1pZRqcGCNx_rSLthCctDHb/s1600-h/100_0882.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGEbIaVoT7WC59INpna5xZlTJ-ditGwloEG65yKLeSfm3rF91eF-6IWTi5P-1dae9pN_6GC_l7tvL78u7pr94jQlLBjvcyuteLsvPmgzwqODRW-1pZRqcGCNx_rSLthCctDHb/s320/100_0882.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252740364914455330" /></a><br /><br />A quick coat of latex paint later, I secured the mummy into the coffin with zip ties.
