^ My ceiling decoration wasn't entirely perfect, but I was happy with it. It was a last minute idea because I had extra orange crepe paper left. ^^

^ I exchanged the bulbs in all the lamps and fixtures with green or black bulbs to add to the Halloween atmosphere.

^ I picked up some pretty nice looking skulls at the supermarket for only $7.00! Cheaper than the ridiculously fake looking ones I bought last year made of styrofoam -.-

^ The most popular decoration of the night! For those unfamiliar, there's a "haunted" Raggedy Ann doll named Annablle in the Warren's museum of haunted junk. Their Raggedy Annabelle is displayed in a box such as the doll above! :3

^ My mom. I let her borrow my cape for the picture, I think she would've made a good Sarah Sanderson too! XD

Our party was pretty low key, after everyone arrived we dined on pizza and candy, carved Jack-O-Laterns, and watched movies, etc. I meant to get pictures of it all but I was too busy trying to be the perfect hostess. I have high standards for parties! :b

As always, I apologize for yet another absence. I can't believe I didn't even follow up the hamster situation yet! I had a hard time taking pictures when we first got her because she was horrified of the camera. I was careful to never use the flash around her but it scared her anyway, and then the cage didn't work out long and she moved into a pink rectangular cage. I'll explain it all soon, and get some pictures up!
