Greatest Halloween Ever

This post is a little late, but as the saying goes, better late than never! Some of you will remember from a while back the swap I was doing with my amazing friend Vany leading up to Halloween.

Well on about the 9th day I received a card from Vany telling me that the last few days of the swap were all related - so I could choose either to wait and open everything on the very last day or I could keep opening day by day.

On the last days leading up to the swap I was opening packaged of bloodied dolls clothes and tiny accessories - then on the last day I found myself face to face with a couple that seemed so familiar....

It's zombie Trees & zombie Rich!! It's so amazing!! The dolls are beautifully made, I love them so much.

Here's a few details of zombie Trees

Close up of her face - she even has hair extensions like me!

A bit of brain hanging out the back...

Close up of her bloodied rib cage.

Cute ballerina flats are an absolute must for the zombie about town!

Next up - a few details of zombie Rich.

He has a bit of a sore eye, not sure why?

He's wearing a robot t-shirt and the real Rich loves robots.

The real Rich likes to sketch, so zombie Rich has a bloodied notebook and some tiny pencils.

Finally - the real Rich loves his converse sneakers and so does zombie Rich.

Wednesday Wardrobe Challenge - 1950's

Today's wardrobe challenge was the 1950's - the dress I was planning to wear is a little big and needs to be altered and the other dress I could have possibly worn was still damp from washing. So I didn't end up looking very 1950's at all but I thought I would still share my outfit for the day.The dress is another Kitty Bridges creation - the dress is called Tokyo Cherry and I like it a whole lot. I've worn it in all parts of the world as its flattering and really comfortable as well. I love the pattern and the red trim.

A close up of the fabric of the dress - cherries and little blossoms.

I decided to wear the bloodied heart that Vany made for me in our 13 days of Halloween swap.

This amazing beaded cuff is also made by the amazing Vany in another 13 days of Halloween swap we did - there are four pop art inspired skulls on the cuff. I do love this hair bow and I haven't been wearing hair bows much lately - I'm not sure why, maybe because its winter and I have been wearing hats to work? Now the weather is warmer I think its time to bring back the hair bow.

I must have been making up for the lack of bows in my life in recent times as I wore bow patterned fishnet stockings as well.

Outfit Deets:

Shoes - Cotton On

Tights - I forget :P

Dress - Kitty Bridges

Cardy - Glassons

Necklace & Cuff - Made by Vany

Hair Bow - Received in a craft swap

13 Days of Halloween Swap - Part III

Time for another update from all the goodies I have been receiving for the 13 Days of Halloween swap with my friend Vany!

DAY 7

I lose my keys a lot - well not lose them so much as I simply can't find them when they are lurking at the bottom of my bag. I think that problem has mostly disappeared as I have a severed finger and tiny zombie on my key ring.

You can even keep a spare lip gloss inside the severed finger -fancy!

DAY 8

On day eight I received all kinds of things to make me into a pretty zombie!

Some zombie themed clips.

A bloody heart.

Finally, my favourite, a zombie and brain sweater clip - I love this!

I can't wait to share what I have received over the past few days with you all - but I want to wait for day 13 tomorrow as the last 5 days of the swap all work together.

13 Days of Halloween Swap - Part II

Its time to share more amazing Halloween goodies with you all - here's some more of my Halloween swap with Vany.

DAY THREE

What's inside? Mmmmmm....so MUCH chocolate! I am going to set aside most of these goodies for Christmas. I especially love the "Ritter Sport" chocolate, Vany has send me this brand a few times now and its awesome. I also love dark chocolate and she has included pretty much all dark chocolate. DAY FOUR


On day four I received these amazing wee skeletons all handmade by Vany using those fusing beads. I bought a set of these once but I never managed to make anything quite so epic as a skeleton! Unfortunately the white skeletons leg got damaged on his way from Germany to New Zealand, but I can fix it easily - I love these guys. I strung them all up together in our hallway - they are a permanent fixture, not just a Halloween decoration.

DAY FIVE

Here's the packaging for day five - which I love! I just knew from the zebra print it was going to be AMAZING!
So day 5 wasn't too creepy but it was full of something else I LOVE - Hello Kitty goodies. However, Vany did manage to find a creepy kitty pez dispenser and charm. Vany also left a special note for Rich on Hello Kitty Day - to acknowledge his further descent into Hello Kitty Hell.

DAY SIX

Today I received four amazing handmade zombie bookmarks - I haven't had a decent bookmark in literally YEARS and I always end up using a bus ticket, envelope, flier or whatever else I can find lying around so these bookmarks will make for some happy books.

I love the beads on the bookmarks!

It was hard to pick a favourite - but I think I like this one best of all!

Finally the note that came with the bookmarks - it made me smile.

That brings you all up to date with my swap package so far - I can't wait to find out what else is inside. I love surprises!
