2012 Halloween in Miniature Day 7 - Happy Halloween!




Well, it looks like this year’s 2012 HALLOWEEN IN MINIATURE party has come to an end, and now it’s time to go trick-or-treating.

             For fun, here’s a little poem (Poems for Free by Nicholas Gordon) to celebrate the day:




Witches, werewolves, ghosts, and ghouls
Love to frighten little fools.

I'm not frightened! No, not me!
Is that a ghost behind that tree?

(Witch by Detta's Darling Dolls - C. Verstraete  scene - see my miniature haunted house)

Wasn't this fun? Looks like everyone has gone home, but there are a few stragglers (additional pix below).

I want to again thank the talented artisans who contributed to this year's event and helped make it possible.

 A special thanks to Kat Hazelton and Victoria of DarkSquirrel Miniatures for their generosity in donating prizes. Please be sure to visit the websites of these amazing artisans and check out their creations!

** Today's Spooky Reads:  NEETA LYFFE, ZOMBIE EXTERMINATOR & Sequel: I LEFT MY BRAINS IN SAN FRANCISCO- Karina Fabian

By the 2040s, the shambling dead have become an international problem. While governments and special interest groups vie for the most environmentally-friendly way to rid the world of zombies, a new breed has risen: The Zombie Exterminator.

 When zombie exterminator Neeta Lyffe gets sued because a zombie she set afire stumbles onto a lawyer's back porch, she needs money, fast. So she agrees to train apprentice exterminators in a reality TV show that makes Survivor look like a game of tag. But that's nothing compared to having to deal with crazy directors, bickering contestants and paparazzi. Can she keep her ratings up, her bills paid and her apprentices alive and still keep her sanity?

I LEFT MY BRAINS IN SAN FRANCISCO
Sequel to Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator

Zombie problem? Call Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator—but not this weekend.

On vacation at an exterminator’s convention, she's looking to relax, have fun, and enjoy a little romance. Too bad the zombies have a different idea. When they rise from their watery graves to take over the City by the Bay, it looks like it'll be a working vacation after all.
