Halloween fun!

Vanessa from fanciful twist has inspired lots of bloggers to host halloween parties today! I had planned on putting one together myself, but its not happening girls.. sorry. My superwoman powers must be on vacation or something because I just couldnt get it together!
but so as not to let anyone down and in honor of halloween, I am posting all the pics I've collected from the halloween shadow box and pinkeep swaps that i hosted! And I dont think you'll be disappointed! so many wonderful little pieces of halloween inspired art to see!

The swap is pretty much done and over with. There are still a few girls working on and getting ready to mail theirs out, so when I have more pics, I'll post them! so.. Enjoy what i have here for now!

Check out this great shadow box made by my friend Natalea of Kandeland! She and Ele below were perfectly matched partners!



This one made by Ele of a bit of pink heaven is so wonderful. Be sure to pop over to her blog to check out other pictures to get a much better look at it!


This one was sent to me by my dear blogger pal, Fran Meehan, of my doll land. She is a remarkable doll maker and I was soo glad to finally have her for a parter! check out this sweet witch pinkeep! shes even holding a needle and tread!
