Today's the day!

The Party day is here, good people. And for today's picture, we have Amelia gazing upon her body double. Eerie likeness, ey?

Bwahahaha!!!!

We are busy decorating so, if you want to see the finished gargoyle, you must come to the party. Drop us a line if you need directions.

To get into that Holiday Spirit:

This painting was put on auction at Ebay after it proved to creepy for the family that owned it. The kids in whose room it was kept claimed that the children were coming out of the painting at night and fighting. You can find the full story at the link below. It even has its own Wikipedia entry. Currently I'm looking for the sequel painting called "Resistance at the Trheshold.

Fun!

And for those of you just happen stumble across this blog and may be interested in coming to, or learning more about, the party, drop us an email and tell us a bit about yourselves.

Having trouble choosing a costume?

My best source for all things Halloween is....(don't laugh. I will kill you if you do).......Martha Stewart. Queen of self-abusive housewives everywhere. That woman has a very dark streak running through her, once you peak behind that tastefully decorated facade. Go to her web page. I'm not kidding. That thing she does with a few plastic cockroaches and some spiritgum is still freaking me out. She has some great ideas for costumes.....and party food if you are still stumped for what to bring for the contest.

Holidays are all about those homey crafts you can do with your family, encouraging togetherness and promoting the spirit of the season. For instance, why not try to build a life size gargoyle using your 7 year-old as the duct tape dummy? Wait till we figure out how to attach the wings and the skull...It will give it that perfect folksy demonic touch.

Whatever shall we do with these?

Paper mache, tinfoil, and a cheap plastic skull...

What on God's Green Earth are we going to do with these?

Wait....and....see!

Bwahahaha!

It's Our Favorite Time of Year....

We love getting ready for this party! This year we thought in addition to sending out the invitations we would start a blog to share all of our preparations. We always use this party as an excuse to exercise our creativity...and our sick sense of humor.
All the previous rules apply to this year's party.
-Costumes are encouraged but not required.
-Children are welcome, but kids under 6 must remain with their parents. We are not toddler proof.
-Crash space is available, but bring bedding. If you are here in the morning we will serve you breakfast.
- You can bring anyone you want. This party is open to everyone.
-Bring whatever you like. We usually have hors d'oeuvres , soda and beer. All contributions are appreciated.

New for this year we are having a contest for the most creative hors d'oevres. The winner will receive a prize that will make all that slaving in the kitchen worthwhile.

Stay tuned. Our next installment will be "How to make a gargoyle with duct tape, wet newspaper, and a 7 year old girl."
