I'm Still Standing!

Wanna know what chaps my hide? Sand...HA HA HA! I am so funny, but seriously, what chaps my hide is work and life getting in the way of me spending time with you! I haven't forgotten about everyone, really, I haven't!


Work has been kicking my butt and not in the good way. I come home and I just want to sit and eat left over Halloween candy. What? Don't judge!

Speaking of Halloween, I had a fantastic time at not one, but two parties! Oh yeah! I was a tightrope walker and OMP was a Mexican wrestler, in his casual attire. That tutu and hat, it's never coming off, I am going to wear it for every occasion. 

Now don't fret and think that I'm going away! I have lots more in store for you over the coming months. Just buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Feel Good Friday!

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Scary Halloween Friday to you! Are you ready to get out there and get your spook on? I know I am!

Lacerslife did an awesome job on this Halloween Princess bag. It has the right combo of cute and saucy...hmmm...like someone else I know. You should also check out her Halloween banner-it is super spooky cool!

Whenever I'm at work and I feel like blowing the day off and kicking back to watch a scary movie online, I check out The Monsterclub (check out their facebook page-they have links to movies). I've featured these guys before, but I think you need a reminder of their awesomeness! Movies, old radio shows and great pictures are waiting for you.

A few years ago, I participated in a Halloween Swap with Racky from RackyRoad. She made me this kitty. Well, now you can have your own Halloween kitty or elephant or circus altoid tin. Racky's work is hauntingly beautiful and wildly vintage. I love everything in her shop and as an added bonus, she makes a mean cosmo (or so I've heard).

Someone's ready for Halloween!

Yahoo! Halloween weekend! Gonna get my costume on and do some early trick or treating! Have a great weekend all my guys and ghouls! Watch out for those things that go bump in the night!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Yahoo! Pete just helped me pick a winner and that person is....


CUPCAKE CATIE! Yahoo! Whoot! Whoot!

Now, before everyone gets all sad that they didn't win, never fear, cause I'm cleaning out my embroidery and there will be more giveaways in the coming weeks.


Thanks to everyone who entered and CupcakeCatie, if you could email me your address, I will get that embroidery out to ya.

Rocktober Rules!

What makes a good horror movie even better? I'll tell ya-Rock and Roll baby! Oh yeah! Tuning up my spooky air guitar!

This first one is from my teenage years, when I was a disgruntled punk rocker.  I had the soundtrack when I was  young and thought I was so tough, playing it on my cassette player. What? It was cool! Don't judge! Anyhoo, The Return of the Living Dead is over the top, gory and down right silly. It's chocked full of ridiculous giggles and slimy zombies. I don't think I really need to explain the story...chemicals....dead coming back to life...brains...yadda, yadda, yadda.. This movie is not for family viewing but if you are having a few friends over and don't want anything too scary-check it out. The Damned, 45 Grave and The Cramps lend their funky lyrics to this awesome soundtrack.

Speaking of not judging, this next movie is so bad. I just know OMP is going to say, "Really Pam? I don't think I can be seen in public with you anymore." Just for the record, he will be seen with me and he will love it! Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, my next bad pick. KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park is so awful but it has KISS in it! I can't help it! It's KISS! This was a television movie in which KISS must use their super powers to fight off an evil inventor and save the world. I know, I know...it's bad, but it's KISS!

How many of you grew up in the 80's? How many of you had a crush on almost all the cuties from The Lost Boys? Don't lie, you know you did and you were always wondering why Jami Gertz got to hang with the hotties, I mean, you were much cuter than her with your mall claw bangs and LA Gear shoes! Lost Boys, just like the ones mentioned above, had an excellent soundtrack with the likes of Echo and the Bunnymen and INXS. The best part about this vampire movie (besides the cute vampires) was that they weren't all "poor me....I sparkle,"  they were rough and tough and had style. The icing on the cake was this movie had the Coreys in it. 1980's heaven, baby!

Whether you are shredding your axe or wielding it, these movies are for you! They will get your fist pumping  and bring a giggle or two. Rock on my spooky little monsters!

Scrappy Dog Sunday!

AGGGGGGHHHHHH! Run if you can! Close your eye! Gasp at the horror of the THREE LITTLE MONSTERS!!!!!!!! (da, da., DAAAAAAAAA)

You'll turn away in fright at the sight of FrankenPetey!

 
You will shake in your boots at the vicious snarling of WereLola!

You will laugh with delight at Jujube until she bites your neck and DRINKS YOUR BLOOD!

If you see any of these wild beasts in your area, give their mother your Halloween candy instantly! It's the only way to save yourself! No crappy old people's candy either-good stuff like whole chocolate bars! It's the ONLY WAY! 

Feel Good Friday!

 Oh yeah! Getting my Friday on! Spooky style! Whoop! Whoop!

This little Frankenstein cracks me up. He is so cute and his outfit totally reminds me of Granimals from the 70's. Remember those? You had to match up the animals to make an outfit. Anyhoo...my friend Crystal totally rocked this cross stitch!

Fighting zombies is really hard work, making dentures for them is even harder. They get all bitey. Bubble Off Plumb Productions aka Mistress T. did an excellent job uncovering these wonderful specimens. So creepy!

Do you watch those ghost hunting shows? I am a sucker for them. They are the most ridiculous thing out there but I just love them. When I can't get a fix on my TV, I check out The Shadowlands online. They have ghost recordings, stories and sightings of Bigfoot!

Oh my goodness! I'm shivering in my boots (mainly cause it's cold in my office). Time to get the fire going, warm up a little cider and finish getting the puppies' costumes ready. They just love trick or treating... Hope you have a fab weekend and enjoy that fall weather!

I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.

You Could Be A Winner!

Oh my little babes! How I have missed you! I'm sure that you know I love all of you but mama sometimes has business to take care of and can't play. And for the record, I am not a fan of work at all. It gets in the way of me having fun. Oh, to have been born rich instead of beautiful. Le sigh....

To make it up to you, I am giving you a chance to win something that I just finished stitching up! This sampler is a vintage pattern (possibly 60's) and the lettering was stitched with hand dyed Japanese silk floss. I am in love with that floss.  As you can see, each season is represented and the entire piece is about 16-18 inches across and down.

Now, what do you have to do to win? Just leave a reply telling me your favorite season. That's it! I will pick a winner next Wednesday.
