...Invitation to the October PJ Party

PAJAMA-PARTY-LOGO

Good morning folks - how have you been? I have been moving home, which turns out to be the stressy version of living under a rock, it's going something like this:

Fab, great, ooooh, dishwasher, happy happy, oooh space, bedrooms, cosy, cleaning, what do you mean I can't take my neighbours with me?, folding, packing, cleaning, unpacking, where are/is my clothes/schoolbag/wallet? Ikea, flatpacks, camping on wooden floor, Ikea, real tea, gas, electric, how much? Building Control? since when? - that sort of thing...

All of my craft supplies are still in boxes/bags/neighbours' car boot etc and it feels like about a million sleeps since we had our Halloween release!

I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel at last though and so I'm hopping on here to invite you to our next Pajama party which I'm going to hold on the 18th of October - I will be wanting to see your best Halloweenish of course and , and there's a challenge or two for folks who don't celebrate the holiday also.

Here are the details if you fancy playing along!

Challenge 1 - Greenish Halloweenish

Make a card/project featuring Halloween and the colour Green. You do not have to use Waltzingmouse Stamps products to play along, but for this challenge, if your project uses any Waltzingmouse Halloween stamps you will be eligible to double the prize if your project wins the random drawing.
When to make: Make your project now so that you can be ready to post it to your blog/gallery on the night of the party.
How do I link it up?: On the night of the party, post your project to your blog/gallery and post a direct link to it into the inlinkz tool that will be available on the blog post here on the WMS blog.

Bedtime Story
Our Pajama Party will end with the Bedtime story sketch - this will be a sketch challenge that we will present to you on the night of the pajama party. You will see the sketch and some inspiration samples on the Pajama Party blog post and you will have one week to link up your challenge cards.
We'll be opening a chat thread on the Waltzingmouse Forum during the party on the 18th and we would love to chat with you then. We hope you can join us! And do invite your friends!
