Happy Halloween!

I didn't get to carve a pumpkin this year... so this will have to do. Glad I participated in inktober! 

Inktober Day 31

I am the night!

Had fun dressing up at work today! I didn't really plan a costume this year... I ended up just ripping up some clothes and smearing blood on me to become a zombie. 

Inktober Day 30

Sometimes you feel like a cat... and I guess sometimes you don't. 

Today is a cat day.

Inktober Day 18

Happy Halloween!

Pictured above is Skelita Calaveras of Monster High.

I had no idea before taking this picture that she was a full skeleton underneath her clothes! Orignally I had tried to pose her in a similar position with clothes and had trouble because of a plastic piece that ended up being a body shell to hide her skeleton. Needless to say upon this discovery she had to be photographed nakey. ^^

The only thing left to do today is watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show and carve a pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

"In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life"

Cutely Spotted Bags, Cookies and Halloween fun!

What does it mean when you design handbags for a living and then go home and design handbags for fun? I guess that means you just really like handbags! ::sigh::

Mmmm, so I thought I would share this tasty treat! I made some Oatmeal Cookies last night that were super yummy and surprisingly easy! I have never fancied myself a cook... I have even gone as far as to say I HATE cooking... but recently... I FEEL LIKE SUPER BAKING COOK LADY! and I LOVE IT! hahahah who knew...

Last night my husband and I were having a major sweets craving but did not want to leave the house. We had almost NOTHING in the house... just one box of cupcake mix that required eggs... but there were no eggs. Upon seeing the large container of Oatmeal we had in the pantry, I snapped online found a recipe for Simple Oatmeal Cookies and went to town using what we had around: Quick Oatmeal, Sugar (I used Brown Sugar), Raisins, Butter, Flour, and Baking Soda. 20 minutes of bake time and BOOM! DONE! DELICIOUS!

And now moving on to Halloween! Yes... Halloween has come and gone and we already have Christmas decorations set up at my work... AHHHH! But I want to share some Halloween pics anyway! Me and my hubby, Greg, getting ready to go out for a night on the town!

Greg's scary pumpkin!

Me and my BEAUTIFUL roomate Ashe! Isn't he pretty! We were Gothic Vampire Lolita's! My husband was our food. hahahah

Lets see here... well we got a pumpkin, some bats, candy corn, flowers and leaves, eyes, stitches, spiders and a pitchfork! YAY!
Halloween is coming! Although I probably wont be around for any festivities because I will most likely be in China for work.^^

Happy Halloween^^

Day 131 (mmm, Le Vampire Benoit)


Day 130 (not really sure why there is a line through this one...)

We carved pumpkins! YAY... barely before Halloween...

Day 129


My big momma pumpkin is in the middle. The plan was for all of us to try to use the stencil sheets that came in the carving package, since we never use those, but of course i have to screw it up! I think my pumpkins skin was too hard because i pressed hard on the hole making tool and still could not see the holes after i did the entire outline... so i decided to do my own simpler thing! hah

I broke two of the carving knives and Ashe broke one! Hah, not sure how Greg's knife lasted...

Greg's is on the left and Ashe on the right.
