I have been a Halloween junkie forever! I'm 41 now, and I'm still just as into Halloween as I was as a kid. Every year I dress-up regardless if I am going out or not. And every year I carve a pumpkin and bake the seeds...yum!
However, this year I didn't dress-up.
And this year I didn't carve my pumpkin and bake the seeds.
This year not only couldn't I afford to buy a pumpkin, but I just didn't have my usual Halloween spirit.
My life is quite hellish at the moment so I kind of skipped my usual Halloween traditions and now I am feeling even more blue because of it. So, I thought I'd share a few photos of my past costumes and pumpkins to try and cheer myself up a bit, and maybe some of you could share your Halloween costumes and pumpkins too.
OK, I am going to start with a rather old one of myself from Halloween 1994 when I dressed-up as Elvira, mistress of the dark:
I didn't have Elvira's boobs, but I did have her hair! (My hair was real in the photo unlike the real Elvira's hair).
Next is me with my dog Dino the year I was a squaw:
And here's me again the year I was a mouse (yes, I'm sure you are all wondering if I ever went as a bird considering my username, well, all I can say is not yet!):
And now for my favourite part of Halloween, the pumpkins! Here's a few of the ones I have carved over the years:
Well, happy Halloween to all of you....this is the first Halloween I can remember not being happy, but I am hopeful that next Halloween I will be in my usual spirits. :-)
