Welcome to my Halloween Blog Party!
Vanessa Valencia at A Fanciful Twist is hosting this fantabulous blog party. Here is what’s going on at Thrilled by the Thought!
To get into the spirit of Halloween, we went to a graveyard.
We practiced wearing our costumes.
And now, the day is here! Join us as we craft and look at art (my favorite thing to do!!)
First, we will make these candle holders. Very simple. Buy a regular vase, get some heavy duty spray glue and some Haloweenish tissue paper. Spray the paper with the heavy duty spray glue and paste the paper on how you like it!
Now, let’s look at some scary art.
Francisco Goya, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Oh I’m so glad my dreams are not like this.
Caspar David Friedrich, Abbey in the Oak Forest
Even though this looks like a photograph, it is an oil painting! Incredible!
Edvard Munch, The Scream
A psychological nightmare
Henry Fuseli, The Nightmare
Again, I’m so glad my dreams are not like this!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Grab a spider ring on your way out!

Hello!!
Happy Halloween!~
Boo! Graveyards are not scary to me! I’ve spent
lots of time in them doing family history projects/
genealogy……but some of those pictures are a
bit scary but fun for a Halloween Party.
Thanks for the spidey ring…fun!
or as abby says…a lydibug
Whew.. You’re right those are some serious dreams…
HappY halloween…isn’t this party so much fun!!
Fabulous decorations! Lovely spider ring, I must make one for myself. Happy haunting,

Happy nightmares,

It was nice to pop in and meet you tonight. Thanks for the spider ring! I love graveyards. When I was growing up in the midwest, Memorial Day weekend was quite a festive event. We bought silk flowers galore, packed up a yummy picnic lunch, and set off for all the cemeteries we needed to visit to decorate graves – several in the ozark hills of Missouri. I especially loved all the stories about my long before departed family my granny would tell me. Her only sister, Lura, died at age 12 and I often imagined her as a fairy having seen her picture. Blah, blah, blah, . . . I digress. I really wanted to tell you thank you for your charming party. I’ll come back to visit again and stay a bit longer – have to move on to the next before it gets too late! Stop by my little place if you’d like!
