This ghoulish Creepmas countdown has come to another bittersweet end. I hate to part from you all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cuddling up with a black cat, and enjoying some mulled wine, hot cocoa, or tea by the fire is heavily recommended for Creepmas withdrawals.</div>

With Necrofeast coming up on the twenty-seventh of this month, <a href="http://emmyc.com/Scarf.html">here</a> is a comic that features a good winter spirit, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Necrofeast">here</a> is some information on Necrofeast as parting gifts.</div>

If Gris Grimly is illustrating a book, you know it's going to be fantastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think his works are going to become timeless like Tim Burton's and Edward Gorey's.</div>

Another dark vampire movie to give you goosebumps during the holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These vampires mean business. They rip their victims a new one when the sun goes away for a thirty days in an Alaskan town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have multiple fangs, as opposed to the usual two or four fangs on usual vampires you see these days. The better to shred you with, my dear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention, they're super messy when they eat. I think they like to show off blood as a trophy.</div>

...an Elf on the Shelf doll!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always found the Elf on the Shelf to be creepy looking, yet fascinating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Retro looking designs will always do that to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How else would Santa know when you were sleeping? This little guy/gal (heavily depending on the model you have) will rat you out!</div>

See! What did I tell you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are wanting one, go to the official site located <a href="http://www.elfontheshelf.com/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For ideas on how to use your Elf, <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikespohr/33-genius-elf-on-the-shelf-ideas">here's</a> a good link for starters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The favorite ideas I have seen originate from the Elf causing mischief. I once saw an Elf partying hard with a Krampus figurine. It was pretty epic.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Krampusnacht, everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you remember earlier in the Creepmas countdown, Krampus was mentioned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight is his night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You better be good, unless you want to be whisked away.</div>

...a wicked party dress!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can never go wrong with a LBD any time of the year. With my birthday also this month (December 22), I want to look like "the baddest witch in town."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my favorites I have found online. Keep in mind that there are a mix of dresses that are both maternity and non-maternity based (I am currently pregnant, after all!), and come in a variety of prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

(Welcome! It feels so good to be back to posting again on this blog. I love the idea of Creepmas. Whether you're an oldie or newbie, I hope you will enjoy my Creepmas posts!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...a super classy Creepmas <a href="http://instagram.com/p/hXX-HZgV2N/">tree</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first, fine example to kick off the Creepmas season was made possible by my good friend, Denise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you look closely, the ornaments seem normal around the tree, but they aren't. If you're paying attention, you see some Gothic ornaments hanging about. The tree is also not green, but black!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love black and white trees. They are so versatile in nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Denise plans on making this black Creepmas tree into a Halloween tree for 2014. ^w^</div>

I apologize for this late post. I had to get permission for these pictures.</div>

These are my favorites from the bunch taken.</div>

These pictures were taken at my friend, Denise's, party. It was an adults' only party, which was why Evey wasn't there. Evey was out trick or treating at the mall nearby, then she was taken to the Berry Farm with my folks before she was dropped off at home. If my phone wasn't acting up, pictures of her in her pirate costume would be on here. D:</div>

Me in full costume and makeup. I was Mother Earth. If you were wondering, yes, I did make that flower crown from scratch. This crown got so many compliments, and people were baffled when I told them I made it. I plan on wearing it a bunch since it's so versatile with the clothes I own. ^w^</div>

Ian as a modern Father Time. This costume would have been better if he had the pocket watch on him at the time that I gave him as an engagement present. Also, that look is goofy. One would expect him to pull a monocle out of his pocket, and hold it up to one of his eyes. XD</div>

Ian was asking me what types of pizzas were available. Also, this shot highlights the treats we brought over. You needed to bring a treat to have been allowed entry. I picked the pumpkin roll, and Ian picked the Cowboy cookies. Gosh, my hair looks fabulous from this angle. The only thing I did was sleep in a wet braid the night before. This hair style is still prominent at the moment. It's fantastic.</div>

Alas, we have made it to nearly the end of this Countdown. Happy Halloween/Samhain everyone! ^w^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seriously can't thank everyone enough for following me through this year, new or old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a ride. ^w^</div>

News: I'm ending everything tomorrow, when Halloween pictures will be posted. Spooky Season is going to be cut short for me this year with the baby on the way. I promised Ian that November would be our heavier prepping month. As my past followers know, I usually take Spooky Season up until my wedding anniversary date, which happens to be November 15th. Why is that? Some stations still have awesome spooky stuff happening on them, like older Treehouse of Horror episodes and horror movie marathons. Celebrating the Day of the Dead is also big in my book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rest assured, with this break I shall come back refreshed and ready for Creepmas 2013! ^w^</div>

My 2013 Spooky Halloween story: <i>Gypsy Witch Fortunetelling Chills</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't expect to read the cards, but I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sarah (polite about things) and Kira (heavily persistent) were wanting me to read their fortunes after they saw my deck lying around in my bedroom. As with my other loved ones, I happily obliged. I hadn't read the cards in awhile, so what the hell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Ian and my Mother-in-Law left for work, I cleared off a portion of the table to do their readings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off with Sarah's reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was blown away by the sheer positive vibes radiating from the cards. I had never had anyone have such a deep and happy reading at such a young age. Her reading dealt with succeeding in school and in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next was Kira's reading. This reading ended on a positive note too...but it was one of the darkest readings I have ever done. Readings I usually do with GWFTC are either positive or whimsical, so it was a rather sudden wake up call.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reading these cards one by one brought chills to my spine. I saw death of a loved one, whom I thought might end up to be her husband, inheritances, and travel. The last three cards were some of the only cheerful parts of that reading. It seems that she has good people looking out for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never had a reading where I wanted to give someone a hug so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Hello, cosplay worthy character! I'm seriously loving Kiki's clothing revamp. ^w^</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little tidbit I found out just made my night. Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my all-time favorite Studio Ghibli movies (Howl's Moving Castle barely beats this movie out as my top favorite).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember when Kiki's Delivery Service was first released here in the States on VHS. It was dubbed in English, but it was one of the best dubs I have ever heard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still prefer the English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service with the added sound effects and extra Phil Hartman lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The story goes like this: When a witch turns thirteen, she must venture out into the world on her own and find her true calling in society. Kiki is a witch who falls under this category. She leaves home with her cat, Jiji, during a night with a full moon. Kiki goes through many trials during her time away from home, but eventually gets a hang of things with help of friends she makes along the way. A delivery service is how she contributes to society, since flying is her specialty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/06/28-1/new-photos-from-live-action-kikis-delivery-service-reveal-kikis-mother">here</a> to find out more information about the live action movie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go <a href="http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/sp/majotaku/">here</a> for a chance to purchase the special edition manga that is being made alongside the movie (it's SO incredibly pretty! >w< ).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kikis-Delivery-Service-Kirsten-Dunst/dp/B002ZTQVLG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382830641&sr=8-1&keywords=kiki%27s+delivery+service">here</a> to purchase the remastered version of Kiki's Delivery Service (not the version that I originally watched. It contains the original music and sound effects from the Japanese version. If you're wanting the original English dub, find the original VHS/DVD).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you seen Kiki's Delivery Service? If so, what do you think of this movie? Have you seen all the versions? How do you think it compares to other Studio Ghibli movies? Comment below! ^w^</div>

If you haven't been keeping up on American Horror Story, you're really missing out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(The first two seasons are up on Netflix if you want to catch up!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this latest anthology is probably my favorite to date. I love how developed the female characters are on this show in general. They all seem real in their own ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite witches of the season so far have to be Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) and Misty Day (Lily Rabe).</div>

I really love Madison's power. Telekinesis would be sweet to have for many reasons. I love how she seems unapologetic for who she is. She also wears some of the prettiest outfits on this show (as demonstrated above). <b>*SPOILER!* </b><i>Episode three was a doozy, with her gaining powers rapidly and such. I hope Misty brings her back before it's too late because the whole scene with Fiona was uncalled for.</i> <b>*SPOILER!*</b></div>

Ah, the Necromancer. Resurgence is just another amazing ability to have. Her style reminds me of a Mori Girl. I love how she basically is a hippie that just cares about everything, and that shines through in her power. <b>*SPOILER!* </b><i>With the way she came back in the second episode, I'm curious to find out if her power makes her truly immortal or not. I also hope with Kyle brought back that there's no awkward love triangle between him, Misty, and Zoe.</i> <b>*SPOILER!*</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With what I have learned about in real estate school, this site is a life saver for Realtors (in some states, it's actually illegal to tell a potential home buyer if a property had a death on it). The site mentioned is really good to know about if you're a wuss when it comes to the possibility of living in a haunted house...or if you're seeking to buy a house with a history. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note to readers: In order to find out if a property is haunted, it requires a fee and signup.</div>
