Today its Halloween Party at Fanciful Twist, and as you all know,
Vanessa's parties are unforgetable!
People have been making Jack o'lanterns at Halloween for centuries.
But many people don't know why!
I asked History Made Everyday to tell us:
"The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed "Stingy Jack."
According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him.
Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell.
In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jack's lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits.
Look at this door...Oh, my! I really love it!
It will fits perfectly with the entrance cemetery
and the ghost tree at the front yard .
But I didn't forget the house's interior
Halloween decoration
with those beautiful ornaments that I learned to do
at How Stuffs Works
I hope everybody love the decoration!
And now it's time to prepare the drinks and foods...
When my friends arrive, I will offer a rare and tasty wine,
red wine, of course, as red as a good old blood...
and speaking of blood, I will offer lots of Bloody Marys too!
To eat, we will have some delicious candies with Dragon's nail and vampire's teeth shape.
So yummy!
We will also have black chicken feather hours d'ouevres,
living pumpkins swets, and many other delicious Halloween foods!

See some other specialties from Britta:
black eyes of your choice!
pumpkin pastries
spicy bat wings
Spiderweb Brie En Croute
With all these delicious food, the party will probably goes for all night long,
and we will have lots of candles
in fancy candlesticks
and a nice mirror to everybody check the makeup and keep sure to have an horror
looking during all the party
Even Fluffy will be dressed for the ocasion,
with this beautiful ghost dress that I found at Planet Brenda
For the gardens lights, we will have lots of pumpkins from The Blog of Eternal Stench
from Halloween Tips
If someone needs to take a nap, there will be a guest room with a special rug
that my friend Fifi Flowers send to me
Now I just have to dress up
Do you like my hat? I made specially for this party!
