My spirits always brighten when October comes around. There are so many fun Halloween/fall activities I don't know where to begin! Apple picking, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, haunted houses, parties, baked goods!<div><br /></div><div>My love for Halloween began as a child when my mother would hand-make costumes for my brother and I. My favorite were clown costumes she made for us when we were about 3 and 4 years old [picture coming soon]. As I got older, I found that I'd inherited my mothers party planning genes and throwing a good old fashioned Halloween party is, to this day, my favorite activity all year. </div><div><br /></div><div>For me, Halloween has always been a time spent with friends and family. Everyone, both young and old get's to dress up as whomever (or whatever) they choose. When I have children, I hope to pass along the fun spirit of Halloween they my mom passed to my brother and I. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7585454142410042112-2610051091030591495?l=purplegurlshalloweenhaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07964534363928509063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585454142410042112.post-2516175955842170542011-09-13T13:13:00.000-07:002011-09-13T13:17:19.511-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TDR48Wsa5fg/Tm-6PrwxL-I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/EIlte-K8ap0/s1600/cat2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TDR48Wsa5fg/Tm-6PrwxL-I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/EIlte-K8ap0/s200/cat2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651940835981340642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My prep for Halloween begins with the purchase of a mummified cat!</div><div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7585454142410042112-251617595584217054?l=purplegurlshalloweenhaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07964534363928509063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585454142410042112.post-63674879834936232682011-09-13T10:42:00.000-07:002011-09-15T10:13:22.351-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OxEdbaXMy3U/TnIyHLzQrNI/AAAAAAAAAwg/ss_h7d-qxU8/s1600/MP900442180.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OxEdbaXMy3U/TnIyHLzQrNI/AAAAAAAAAwg/ss_h7d-qxU8/s200/MP900442180.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652635581311659218" /></a><br /><div>Check out these sites for the top scary/horror movies!
