Ready!

Both the 2012 poster and bookmarks are now ready! If you know me, I hate leaving things to the "last minute", and besides I wanted to incorporate Bat World onto both, so they are now both viewable by clicking here. Feel free to copy the poster jpg and bookmarks pdf and distribute, I'd appreciate any help in advertising that you can offer! And so do the bats!

Believe it or not, I finally gave in and put the tour on Facebook, even though I believe it to be evil and far scarier than any Hallowe'en thing imaginable. (People actually post their suicide notes on there??? What the ???) Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/events/156140341170819/. Is it possible to get a "like" button on an Event? Help! It's a learning experience for me, I should hire a 13 year old!
Anyway, here's what will happen when YouTube, Twitter and Facebook merge:

Bat World Sanctuary joins the tour!

I am grinning like a Jack o'lantern with happiness! I invited Bat World Sanctuary and they have jumped onto our haunted hayride and will be sharing with Bat Conservation International the privilege of being our honored bat conservation charities! All participating artists can now choose to give their participation fee to either Bat World or BCI, while both groups will help to advertise our tour. It's a win-win arrangement, as the additional advertising will generate additional sales which will create more donations, as many artists give part of their earnings to the bats. 2012 is looking very bright!

Still an orange glow!

Teddy Bear Review has published a review of our tour! Thank you so much, Joyce! Read it here: http://www.teddybearreview.com/ Doesn't Pam's bear look absolutely perfect for Hallowe'en?

A bright and spooky New Year!

We are all set for a brilliant 2012! Please note that I've moved our tour: now http://www.halloweenstudiotour.com/ is its true address (not just a redirect) and it lives as a sub-web on my scratchingatthewindow.com. WOW! This move should secure accessiblity (ie no down time!).

Here's to a fearless New Year!

Fading into the eerie mist...

For the most part, this blog is now going to go to sleep, until the passion, mischief and mayhem begin to unfold again come summer 2012 and the 4th Annual Online Hallowe'en Artists' Studio Trick or Treat starts to build momentum! Until then, rest, more or less, in peace!

(I'm blogging all year over at http://clawscratches.blogspot.com/, join me there!)

If you're an artist and want to hop onto our Haunted Haywagaon, please email me and I'll let you know what's involved.

Martha Burch's Candy Cane Santa and Beth Hogan's Snow Lady with Lights!

These and so many more are waiting for you at www.TeddiesWorldwide.com but only for a very limited time starting today!!
