Witchy Wednesday: Kitty Meme

This is the cutest lil' witch I've ever seen! Happy Witchy Wednesday, y'all. 

Goodbye, Halloween 2016

Well, its gone. Halloween is over for another year. I tried to pack in as much Halloweeny fun as possible, but like every year, I still feel like I just didn't get enough done. I didn't go to enough attractions. I didn't watch enough spooky movies. I didn't blog enough. I didn't make the most out of the short, precious time that is the Halloween season.

I'm sure a lot of you Samhainophiles can relate---I always look forward to Halloween, but the coming of the actual October 31st date is mixed with a sense of dread. It feels like an ending more than a time of accumulated celebration. I always get really depressed and unmotivated around the end of October and into early November. Being depressed and unmotivated is especially hard during this time of year because its also one of our busiest, lol. So, I'm slowly trying to get through it, and I'm hoping that returning to this blog, as well as my paranormal blog, will bring me out of that post-season funk that I always fall into. At least there's one silver lining to look to....there's plenty of time to plan for Halloween 2017!

Snowball's First Halloween

This is Snowball, one of two kitties that complete the Doughty/Racer family. Snowball came into our lives August of 2013, and has always been a very curious cat. This picture, taken during his first Halloween with us, is one of my absolute favorites.

For the Halloween season, I had set up a little spooky vignette complete with lace table cloth, Ouija Board, black lace fan, skull on silver platter, black candles, crystals, antique jewelry, and some old tin-type photos. I added one of our antique chairs to complete the effect of a fortune-telling/communicating with the dead scene.

Snowball decided that Mommy put that nice, comfy chair out for HIM, and pretty much stayed there the entire Halloween season, lol. At one point, we had a Halloween party where a few people wanted to use the Ouija Board. This was of great interest to Snow, and the next day, we caught him standing in the chair, with front paws on the board as if trying to mimic what he saw the night before. Snow did not manage to contact the other side, and no kitties were demonically possessed in the making of this post!
