Shameful..

I've been such a lazy blogger that shame on me.. I'll try to be better, I swear. Not much to say that I love Halloween but already now I'm looking forward to Christmas and all these things have been put away to wait for next year..

Time Flies and Time Drags On

In a way time flies by so quickly and somehow it goes by so slow. Days at work seem so long yet short when you are in a hurry. At home I have barely time to get everything done and relax. Something is always left undone. 

I guess this is just something that I need to get used to, or then I need to sleep less :) Maybe I need a dishwasher as the most normal thing to be left undone is the dishes. I really should go do the dishes. haha.

Alright I promise this is the last Halloween post for this year. Oh how I love this time of year and Christmas too. Oh yeah its always good to have Caution tape on your bathroom door :)

This is Halloween

It's Halloween and I'm home alone watching tv shows. Not what you would expect but it the middle of the week so can't help it. Last weekend I did my traditional Halloween decors at my childhood home. I didn't do it too scary since we had little kids that are too scared of everything. Maybe in a few years I can get my real creativity flowing and come up with some scary stuff. For the mean while I'll just focus on happy fun stuff. These are some night time pictures I took and I'll be posting some more tomorrow. Hope you guys enjoy :)

Halloween Hunt

So before Halloween there was a trip to the amusement park in Toronto for a event called Halloween Hunt. Basically you went to the park during the evening and they had Halloween decorations and horror houses that you could visit. So here are some pictures I took, there was a lot of smoke and very little lighting so most are a bit blurry but interesting none the less, so enjoy:

The Horrors of the Past

Yep here's just some pictures from Halloweens from the past, brings back great memories. Great decorations, good food and awesome friends. Thats all you need for a good Halloween party. Oh yeah maybe a good horror movie as well or maybe a bad one that you can laugh to.

Made the tablecloth myself and also the tombstones. Doing it yourself is always more fun than just buying stuff. I made my friend a tombstone birthday card, too bad her dad didn't really like it.

The Things That Can Fly

My sister living in Helsinki found this one party store, from where you can easily get helium balloons. Actually the store is in Espoo and they have all kinds of things to decorate your party of choice. For me it's Halloween things that pull me to this store. If you are interested in the store in questions then visit their website. So this one year I got myself a few balloons for Halloween and here they are:

 Quite a traditional balloon style, not too scary with spiders in the colors of Halloween.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

So this one year while getting ready for Halloween I had all my decorations spread out in my room and suddenly I threw the spider web me and my friend made on top of this lap and also added a spider and the cauldron  I have to say it's quite a good look and another idea for what to do for Halloween. Though I don't suggest to leave this scene with the light on, it is a fire danger.

In the picture you can also see the light that I won when I was a child. Then a fan and a mask I bought from Venice a past summer. They create quite a dramatic scene.

Terrific Nails

Yep, so today was my first attempt to do some proper Halloween inspired nails. I finally busted out my new set of OPI nail polishes and tadaa see what I can do. Well yeah its a bit lame but it's a first try and hey it's personal. Not everyone can have these nails. OOOH how I miss my long long nails, now only one remains of all of them being that long. I did have long was for quite a long time at one point, dunno how I did it but I miss them so.

Jack-O-Lantern

The most effective part of Halloween decoration is using the effect of light and dark. So not using any normal lights but just candles already give you a eerie feel without the need for decorations. Though for Halloween a Jack-o-lantern styled candle holder is quite effective as seen in the picture. Also more about the white fabric seen in the picture, it's a easy thing to make and also quite effective. Hope everyone is getting in the Halloween feeling.

Halloween is a Coming

So from today until the actual Halloween day I'm gonna post everyday something related to Halloween. Mostly just show some old decorations I have done in the past and then some new ideas I have come up with. So at the moment my Halloween stock here in Canada is a bit small, but that's the life of a exchange student. Though I got myself a spider web to put up, let's see how it looks once I get it done.

Yep, so this was the short intro. More Halloween to come, with lots of cool pictures etc etc.
