STOP! Hammer time! There's a party over here!



This morning looking out my window, I got such a surprise,
I saw witches on broomsticks stream across the skies.

Then suddenly it hit me, how could I have forgot?
I am holding a Halloween Party tonight,
and I haven't even got a frock!

All day pacing for ideas, I didn't have a clue,
Then I suddenly had one great idea,
I shall ask for the help of the moon.

I have no ideas, I can not think,
I have not even cleaned the kitchen sink!
So I said this incantation into the sky,
and hoped that the moon would help me by!

"Dearest moon so shining bright, Help me host a magical party tonight!"



The moon took shape and whirled in a ball


and whispered through the wind,
"A magical night will be had by all!"

Welcome to the Halloween Party. Please do come in!

The Windowless hallway


Oh, I am so happy you could make it! Before you come in, please do shake the witch snow globe three times and enter the windowless hallway.


Oh, and don't forget to make a wish on a star! You have just got to, it's tradition!

Also in the hallway is a deceiving "other room portal", disguised as a Jack Daniels picture. Honest!

But where does this door lead to?

The Bathtub of Seas and the Star Gazing Sink.Set sail in the bath tub of seas and have a good read of the Witches Week, to keep up to date with all current affairs.


Dip into the giant clam and get some Jammy heart delights!Want to go star gazing? Look no further!


Next door in the hallway leads to The Rose Bed of Dreams Chill out Room!


Some folk like to relax in the mist of a party, it can be crazy in there I know!
So if you feel like chilling out, this is the place to be!

Cozy up in the rose bed of dreams and day dream for some wonderful memories!
Here is what you do.
This the drawers of decision by the Rose bed of dreams. Chose which item you would like as a token for the party. For example, if you chose the dolphin, or the dragonfly.

Now lay on the bed clutching your token and have a wonderful time swimming with dolphins and riding on the back of a dragonfly!


Now, open the wardrobe doors to Narnia!!!

No, not really I am just showing off my outfit for tonight.
Oh dear, I am not dressed! Some magic needed here I think, and pronto!


"Black cloak and dress cover me please, and throw in some nice bangles.
Oh, and please, I beg of you if just for tonight, don't let those heels break my ankles"

Where is my hat, I am sure I had it before,
never mind, no magic needed
there it is, hanging on the door!



Now into the heart of the party!
There is the magical fish tank which is home to pirate ship wrecks and treasure!


The glass dome of mermaid tears protects the ship wrecks

and here is the treasure!

The money bottle is corked with fire.

but I would be more worried about the ghost who guards the treasure!
Mmmmm, cookies!
Let's sit and have our futures told!
with the sand timer forever keeping time moving





Here is the torrent room!
Look out the window................................


for ghostly pirate ships sailing by!

Oh, I see a crystal ball!



Let's take a peek!

Hold on! I can hear music, where is it coming from?

My, the elephant is playing the trumpet!and the plants are swaying to make a beat!
and the wee witch is conducting them!

A beautiful singing voice is radiating the room.

The biscuit moon is belting out old rat pack tunes! Wonderful!After, it was request time, and I want a bit of Village People!
Y!!

M...........................look at my moves, I am Grease lightening!
I love dancing!

Meanwhile, the ghost protecting the treasure could be seen eyeing up my moves.


and give it some MC hammer in the place!
Wow, what a show! That ghost can bust a move! I am so tired after all that dancing, I need to sit down.

and blow some bubbles!

and show off my favourite (only) magic trick, two left hands, one right! (Or should that be two right hands, one left? Mmmmm, I need to think..............................)Now, time for some food and drinks!


This is the witches Kitchen. This is where spells and potions are made.






Now, what can we conjure up to eat?

A hearty tasty stew perhaps...................................Nah, how about some pizza? Yay!!

YUM!
What can we have for dessert?

"With a wave of my wrist and flutter of fingers,
Doughnuts and eclairs are what my heart lingers!"

Stuffed!! Now, some tea to wash it down!

The witches kitchen has a fine selection of teas including Rose hip tea, Astral travel tea, and Potent tea potion.

Potent tea potion? I like the sound of that!

Oh, that is lovely, hit the spot! Oh look, tea leaves!

Oh, oh!
I feel all funny!

The room is spinning!

What was in that tea???






Where has everyone gone? It is now morning, was it all just a dream?
But remember such is life, nothing is ever what it seems!





Thank you so much for coming along, and where ever you are,
please do remember just one thing,

I think that........
Please come by again! Cheerio!
