SWEENEY TODD!

Well...I've seen SWEENEY TODD twice in as many nights and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! George and I went on Saturday night with Joanie, Janet, Jerry, and Mike...then I went again tonight with Suz and Rachel (Urchin).

I'm including some pics of my movie night with Suz and Urchin.

Ummmm, nice face Urchin...

NAUGHTY OR NICE?

Twitch must have been nice (in SOMEONE'S eyes) this year...because she received several gifts. Here are the play by play shots of her opening her gift from Joanie and Jerry...

And here are a couple shots of my grandpa's kitty (Charlie)...who is just as cute as can be (and black as coal).

A VERY JUICY CHRISTMAS!

Just wanted to post a quick note to say thank you to everyone for a very merry x-mas. A special thank you and big x-mas hug go to my sweet baboo (Goge) for my beautiful new JUICY COUTURE watch! I LOVE IT! What could be more 'ME' than a PINK JUICY WATCH with SKULL AND CROSSBONES and CROWN WINDER? It is SUCH a special watch that it came with it's very own little 'dresser'... I heard a rumor that a little joanie-bird nudged him in this direction...THANK YOU JOANIE!

Goge and I took a little road trip to California to visit my mother, stepfather, and grandfather. It was so good to see them and we had a really nice visit. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Again, thanks to everyone for such a wonderful holiday and so many lovely gifts. You are too kind, too generous, and very much appreciated!

xoxo,

AMY OF THE MERFOLK

Woohooo! She's finally here! For anyone that doesn't know, my mega-artistic sister (Heather) makes and sells fairy figurines (you can check them out at http://www.notchroadfairies.com/). She sent us one as an x-mas gift and I liked it so much I asked if I could commission her to make a special 'mermaid' for George for x-mas. She graciously did so...and 'Amy of the Merfolk' arrived two nights ago. She's absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't wait, so I gave her to George last night. Wanted to post a few pics of the various stages of her construction.

Here, also, is a picture of another one of Heather's fairies. Again, GOR-GEOUS!

Heather, you are soooo talented...and I am sooooo proud of you. Thank you soooo much for allowing me to give George such a unique and special gift this x-mas.

xoxo, amy

CHARTREUSE AND AQUA AND HOT PINK...OH MY...

Ok...so our gift wrap matches our x-mas tree...and our x-mas tree matches our mantle decorations...and our decorations match our x-mas ball wreath...and it all matches our x-mas cookies....you got a problem with that?

MAKING CHRISTMAS...MAKING CHRISTMAS...LA LA LA...

Tis the season for wrapping presents, curling ribbon, and looking for the scotch tape...

Tis also the season for baking goodies...

And time to decorate the tree...start to finish!

Even kitty gets a tree...

xoxo for now,

TRICK OR TREAT !

What a TREAT it was to go trick or treating with Addy and Avery on Halloween night...they looked absolutely adorable in their little corpse bride costumes (great idea Ave!). The girls did their own makeup...


And Addy was kind enough to help me with mine...she'll make quite a little beautician some day...

Addy was so cute....we wanted to get a shot of the girls together so Kristin told Avery to squat down. Addy assumed Kristin was talking to both of them...so she quickly obliged. Oh! you can see the infamous 'bucket' in this picture too...the one that Addy 'fohted' in...(will explain later).


Here's a cute shot of the girls walking down the sidewalk to the next house. I think Addy took the lead once she realized that you could actually get CANDY just for walking up to the house and saying three little words....TRICK OR TREAT!


And, last but not least, the infamous 'demon child' photo....this blog entry wouldn't be complete without it. Addy was running back to the sidewalk after a big 'candy score'...her eyes glowing red with sheer delight (either that or she was possessed...we're still not sure).


As for the bucket that Addy 'fohted' in... We all know that Halloween is about the TREATS, but we sometimes overlook the TRICKS...that was not the case this year. We strategically placed a remote controlled 'fart machine' in Addy's candy bucket. As people would open their doors and she'd say 'trick or treat', I'd press the button on the remote. I'm sure people were surprised to hear such a BIG sound come out of such a cute little girl. At first, Addy would say "I fohted in my bucket" whenever she heard it (apparently she thought she really had). After a while, however, she caught on and insisted it be removed from her loot bucket. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted....

MORE HALLOWEEN PHOTOS

Hi all! Just a couple more photos that Jen (the Beer Maid) sent after the party...

The 'Captain'....


and 'Baby Girl'... (can't get enough of her, can we?)

HALLOWEEN BASH

George and I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all our friends for making last night's Halloween party such a great success. The costumes were ABsolutely FABulous and we sooooooo enjoyed having you all over.

First, we'll start off with some pictures of our costume contest winner (BABY GIRL...shown here with her pimp) and runner up (the 'OVEN'... last seen with 'the Bun Maker'). Congrats!


There were also several pirate sightings at last night's gathering (which made it a perfect time for the charter meeting of the Flamingo Pirate Society).

Jack Skellington (aka Beetlejuice) and Sally (aka Raggedy Ann, aka Ronald McDonald) also stopped in 'for a spell'. Sally helped Jack with his drink...

The Pearly Girls gathered together in the photo BOOOOOOOOth for a few cute shots (this is the only one that could be published due to the graphic nature of the others...aka Janet's naked butt).

Jerry, dedicated to maintaining his HOT new physique, took a few moments for an impromptu workout. Joanie couldn't keep her hands off of him...

This clever little KEG thought ahead and brought his own BEER MAID...good thinking!

Cowpokes...and witches...and bikers...OH MY!

And, last but not least...a couple photos of the 'coffin table' and our haunting 'spread'...

Thanks again everyone...it was a BLAST!

xoxo,
