I'm not a holiday person ... but if I was, I'd be into Halloween. I love all the creepy, Gothic, Victorian accoutrements: spiders, skulls, ghosts, eyeballs, vampires, devils, the moon, fangs, claws, graveyards, candles ... you get the picture. Plus, Halloween is the last hurray of Fall, my favorite time of year.
So, when sweet Agnes sent over the press release about Martha's Halloween/Harvest line of craft stuff, ending the email with the sentence, "Let me know if you have any questions or need any samples." I was compelled (compelled, I tell you!) to ask for a couple fabulous things.
First, I totally needed to see the
Mad Scientist Invitation kit. They reminded me of my anthropological
Rock Boxes. These invitations are the coolest things ever (even the outer packaging made me squeal!). I thought they'd be business card size, but they are post card size. Huge. I'd prefer a squishier, grosser looking bug sample ... but I guess you could always print up your own gruesome little stickers.
Second, I NEEDED some of these
wine bottle labels. I'm always joking with Andrew that I'm poisoning him. Whenever he says he isn't feeling well, I say, "The poison must finally be working." Now I can act out my Black Widow fantasy with *props*. They probably look better if you take the original wine label off first ... but I'm not patient enough to wait.
When I asked for these things, I never thought I'd get the whole package (I was expecting one invitation and a couple of labels). So, I've decided to spread the ghoulish love around:
Leave a comment by 11:59 pm on Monday to be put in a drawing for an invitation to my poisoning and one large wine bottle label. I will pick five lucky victims winners on Tuesday.
