Soul Journal Halloween Party!

Welcome to the Soul Journal Halloween party hosted by Collage Diva and Yahoo's Soul Journal group. For a list of all the participating blogs please visit the Collage Diva's website.


A BIG welcome to all you ghosts and goblins... witches and warlocks!







Now that you have arrived we are ready to party!




Let's Dance!


Here's a tempting treat for one special guest:


it's says "Autumn, the years last loveliest smile" (click for detail)


To win this 8x8 hand-painted pumpkin (made by me) you must leave the answer to the following riddle in the comments section of this post. A drawing will be held of all the correct answers and winner will be announced tomorrow. Good luck!



Riddle:

The person who makes it has no need for it.
The person who purchases it does not use it.
The person who uses it does not want it.

What is it?



*******************************

Also in honor of our Fabulous Halloween party everything in my Etsy store is 20% off today only...just in time for the holidays! Mention the word "BOO!" to receive a free gift with your purchase. :)





Oh look, Anna has decided to join our party! She's decided to be a cute giraffe this year.




And here's Oliver he's decided to be a scary skeleton.

Now all I have to do is decide what I'm going to be. hehe

I hope you had a good time at my party and I look forward to visiting all my fellow Soul Journalers parties too!

Thank you.

Happy Halloween Sarah!
My answer is casket/coffin.

Did you know that my DH's grandfather was a coffin salesman.
When he was older he used to size up strangers for coffins.
funny in a way.

Love your doorways - very spooky. Your party is wonderful. Your doggies are so darling in their little costumes. Thanks for stopping by my party! Oh! I almost forgot - the answer to the riddle is a coffin.

Sarah your party pictures are amazing. Is that your house? Too fun! I bet kids flock to that cool door for treats! Love your beautiful pumpkin. This party is so much fun.

Happy Halloween.
I too think that it is a coffin.

Sarah Whitmire said...

Hi Christy,
Yep, it is my house. :) Every year we add a little more like sound effects or strobe lights. The kids really seem to get a kick out of it.

Jane B. said...

Well, I almost would have said the answer to the riddle was "art supplies" but wait, I WANT THEM! So in lieu of art supplies, I think I must agree with coffin also. Because they're the only two possible choices (!) I love the doggies' costumes! Can I trick or treat at your house? Great work!

Kamala said...

Coffin...

Love your doggies all dressed up.

Abbie said...

Oooo.. how perfect! A coffin! :) I think your puppies are just about the cutest things out there! I LOVE that song!! Its' one of my all time favorites!
Thank you for the fab party!

This lookes like a "horribly" fun time!
I signed up for the Yahoo Group and am slowly figuring it all out. There seems like so many ideas and so many neat links. I'll really get into it this weekend!
