If this link works right, here are a few pictures of the coffin invitations that were sent out this year for our last party. I want every detail to be as close to perfect as humanly, or inhumanly, possible this time around, so I even made little pillows for these damn things! I started to fill them with little dolls that I had painted like witches and zombies, etc, but that was taking entirely too long. So, I cheated and bought the little skellies on a string. It was MUCH easier. I hope these work. These are pics that ScareShack took for me once his invitation arrived.

Thanks for the kind words. The people in the invite, the "Count and Countess" are hubby and I. Hollyberry painted that for us and I took the painting and used it for our invitations. Let's just say, Holly was VERY generous and kind when she painted me and gave me back the body I had in high school...LOL. People that get the invitation and then meet me in person have no idea it's the same person. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. :p

I wish we had more african american haunters. [sigh] seems like just about everyone I meet or see is a caucasion haunter. I've brought up this subject many times before, but personally I'd like to see a great race mix in haunting.

I hope you like latina girls also Sickie. Maybe when I make my coffin this Year I'll put a Puerto Rican Dracula in there for you.

They did turn out well Pattie!

Like the skellies too. I can't believe you made all of those pillows.

Have a great party!
