It's Almost Haunting time - R U READY - GET SET ...

32 Days until Halloween

 

 

Well here we are again folks - one day away to mark the 31 days of Halloween. This 2014 Halloween Blog is going to be AWESOME! I can't tell you how excited I am. I have got all kinds of spooky goodies for you. My ever favorite - Is the true or False Legends and crazy pumpkin carvings of 2014, as well as new fictional stories that will have you reaching for that flash light - just to cross your hallways to use the bathroom. It is that time of year for me, when I can reach into my mind and pull out the thoughts that scare me and what I think would scare people.  Sometimes I think it would be better to say that I am related to Steven King, so that people wouldn't look at me and say - "Dang Girl are you ok? Where does that Sh*t you think up come from?" 

I have always loved Halloween since I was a little girl, especially the excitement of finding that perfect costume to going trick-or-treating in. I still remember many of my costumes over my school years - Witchy Poo, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Barbie, Farrah Fawcett, A French Maid, A Lumber Jack, Baby Jane, Dolly Parton and my list goes on and on. But I think I would have to say of all my costumes - three come to mind that I really have enjoyed wearing – Dressing up as a man and going to a military Halloween party at a night club – The men really believed I was a new arrival on Adak Island working in same department as my husband as an EO. (Wish I had a picture of that one – what a night to remember) the other two are My Ghost Costume that I created the illusion that I could fly and my Katarina Witch Doctor Costume, that I am finding really freaks people out when they see me. From behind I'm a long silky red headed beauty, but when I turn around – let the screams begin. (See pictures below).

I wish to thank those of you who sent in your stories for my blog this Halloween.  Many of which were perfect for my Legends category. Can’t wait to get this Halloween Party started – so until tomorrow – I’ll blog ya later.

 

 

 

 

GUESS WHAT???? TIME TO GET YOUR SCARE ON!

Hello, hello, hello. How are all of you this first day of Fall?  I have had one heck of a busy summer, but so thrilled to be back on line, and doing what I love to do best - write and created my large array of handcrafted unique gifts. But the biggest thrill of them all is that in just a few more days it will be time for my blogs - 2014 Thrill Fest - ghost stories - old and new. Legends - Fact or Fiction and new caving ideas for your Halloween pumpkins of all shapes.

As you can see this is when I let myself step back from an every day wife and mother, and transform in "Katarina" Yes, this is a costume that I designed last year after writing a story called - "Hex of the Voodoo Witch - The Grey Hair Curse" - is the first story in my newly released book titled: "Twisted - Creepy Tales From A Mother's Mind" now available on Amazon.com.

But enough about me - I am calling on as many people who would like to share their stories of what scares them. (I will not put your names in the stories that I create).  Think about it... is it a dark rain on a moonless cold blustery fall night? Could it be the sounds of foot steps after everyone is tucked in bed for the night?  I'd like you to tell me, what gives you the creeps, scares you, or sends a chill up your spine when that Halloween season comes round?

 

I am so excited to get things going for what I'd like to call my blog for the Month of October - "Thrill Fest 2014" - LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED. All you have to do is tell me what scares you - If you dare - and let my imagination and love for Halloween develop fictional story that will have you hiding under the covers till dawns early light. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
