Halloween Events in Florida...

Ok.  I am totally jealous of those who live in Florida... well, at least for the month of October :)  The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is having a ton of events, my favorite being held on October 16th:  

A meet & greet with a couple of the True Blood cast members!  The main focus for me would be Joe Manganiellio who plays "Alcide"... yum!  

SCCC will also be having a pumpkin carving contest, costume contests, AND... are you ready for this... a meet & greet with Linda Blair!  Yep, the horror flick queen herself.  Check out dates & more events below (click on photo to enlarge):

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is hosting a prize giveaway on Haunted Design House!  Though it's not Halloweenie, these little babies will come in handy... SCCC is providing three car charger USB drives!

Pretty sweet, right?  So, wanna know how you can possibly get your mitts on one of these?  All you have to do is become an HDH follower and leave your link below... and I will randomly draw three winners!  It would be awesome if you would spread the word.  And the Macabre Minions are eligible to enter, too... I don't want you to miss a chance at some goodies :)
**please note that this giveaway cannot be mailed outside of the USA or to PO boxes... sorry!

You will have until Wednesday, October 6th at 6pm central time to enter.  You must check back after that time to see if you are the winner.  If the chosen winners do not contact me within two days after the announcement, I'll draw again.

In keeping with recent FTC rule changes, I am to disclose that I was contacted directly by Seminole Casino Coconut Creek who asked for my participation in promoting these events.  I am doing this without benefit to me, without payment or goods... unless Mike can get me an autographed photo from Joe Manganiellio :)

HDH043 - Truebie or Not Truebie

HDH Macabre Monday Rules:
1. Create a dark and macabre SOMETHING (card, scrap page, altered item, whatever) that follows the specific Macabre Monday challenge given. Cutesy is fine, but creepy is better :)
2. You have until the following Sunday night @ 5pm central time to post your creation and please leave a direct-link back here.
3. If you upload to any online galleries (TACPCC, S&S, PCP, SCS, etc.), please tag the title using HDH043.
4. Weekly giveaways!  Some weeks will be loaded with loot, others not-so-much... but the thrill is in the win, right?!  Some prizes shall be by random drawing, others hand picked... and I'm not telling you ahead of time :)
5. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. At the end of every month these will be compiled and a Master of Macabre will be selected. He/she will be asked to be a guest blogger for the following month, if they so wish, and receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items, papers, halloweenie embellishments... you just never know.

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

Truebie or Not Truebie

 THAT is the question.  You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween page, project or card using inspiration from the HBO series True Blood.   Don't watch the show?  Then simply watch a few of the series trailers & episodes HERE!  What will it be... the Eric/ Sookie/ Bill dynamic?  Or maybe the southern setting of Bons Temps, Louisiana inspires you.  Then again, there is the old standby:  vampires.

Here's my take on the challenge!  I know... A:  it's actually done & B:  it's done on time :)
Though I made the image into a vampire with khaki hair, it reminded me a bit of Sookie.  Wistful and dreamy... who exactly is she thinking of?  Bill or Eric?

Like the flower?  Yeah, another tissue paper one... kinda looks like a mum, doesn't it?  I inked it with violet & black Glimmer Mists.  It's wonderfully sparkly in person... subtle.

Stamps:  Dreaming Gothic Lady (Stamp It Crazy), Label Lingo (TAC hostess set)
Paper:  white ultrasmooth, black (TAC) & Bazzil cardstocks
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo, Glimmer Mist
Other:  Amelia ribbon (TAC), Scor-Bug, tissue paper, red Stardust gel pen
Copics:  0, BV0000, BV20, YG03, YG91, V95, G24, YR23

Your turn for a little True Blood!  I know there must be a couple of Truebies that follow this blog... if not, maybe we'll create some ;)
