HALLOWEEN Month - Cute Zombie Tattoos

Last year I did a post about Zombie Tattoos because I love zombies and I love tattoos. So I decided to do another Zombie Tattoo post this year, but this time I'm focusing on the cute adorable zombies tattoos - the ones in a moment of inebriated weakness I might actually have permanently inked on my body.
So here are some of the cutest zombies ya ever did see -

Marie Antoinette zombie...classy yet horrifying

Zombie Cupcakes will always be one of my favorites.

My Little Pony Zombies are freaking adorable.

Snow White zombie. I like that this one isn't afraid to go a little more creepy than cute.

Disney's Belle zombie - with Chip! I love it.

Another My Little Pony Zombie. The colors mixed with the fact that she's truly freaky
made me fall in love with this tat.

Hello Kitty Zombie. The intestine coming out is just that added bit of gross-out that got
her added to my list.

This will ALWAYS be one of my favorites. ALWAYS.

Pooh Bear Tattoo. The little Brainz Hunny pot is a cute addition.

Adorable little bird zombie. Love the worm coming out of the
abdomen.

HALLOWEEN Month - Costumes for the lazy

Say you're just way too busy working or taking care of your kids costumes to properly come up with one for yourself. Besides, sometimes you're just not in the mood to push through the throng of glitter and fake Samurai sword wielding shoppers at your local Party City...and don't even start with Saver or your Goodwill stores...they're even worse. Like I've said, I LOVE to dress up, but being a wee bit lazy has its perks, especially when there are some other incredible options. Options in the form a single piece...or a onesie. I go crazy for a good ONESIE. They're comfy, warm in the winter months (not that it ever gets too cold in AZ) and some of them are downright adorably awesome. Here's a few you can button or zip up Halloween night, head out to a party or take your kids trick 'r' treating.

We all know how much I love Unicorns...

Who doesn't love Alice in Wonderland...

Go find the one that's right for you and have a snuggly no-pressure to put together an elaborate costume Halloween.

HALLOWEEN Month - Nail Art

Hey y'all, I wanted to do a super quick post that still celebrated my love for Halloween, so I thought why not post some ideas for how to dress up your nails on Halloween. I love manicures, particularly because it means I don't have to do any work, but I'm sure you can also do some of these by yourself.
So here are some ideas...enjoy...and try not to breath in too many fumes while attempting these -

HALLOWEEN Month - Costume a day - Feeling Horny - Be a Unicorn

Seriously...who doesn't want to be a Unicorn? I mean, seriously? They're fabulous. They're surrounded by glitter. And according to Supernatural they can shoot rainbows out of their ass.
So here's just a few ideas on how to make yourself a the most fab magical creature for Halloween -

You ain't a Unicorn without an actual horn 'duh'. This gal makes the most

delicate incredible horns I've seen yet. You can find them on her Etsy shop here -

Feeling Horny

An awesome wig. Whether you're thinking white, rainbow, or some other

color mash-up, a good wig makes a difference. I ADORE dressing up

and have gotten a lot of my wigs from this site. They have a nice assortment and aren't

crazy expensive -

Feeling Hairy...wait what?

A rainbow or white tutu is a great idea to add over white 

tights or a white leotard. This lovely lady makes tutus in sizes

baby - adult. You can find her shop here:

Tutu much

Furry boot covers. Can you use them more than once?

If you're AWESOME then hell yassss -

I need a Tribble on my legs

A second horn never hurt anyone. Find these bright

gems here - 

Once again I'm horny

And in honor of Supernatural...you can shoot a rainbow out of your ass

I want Sam and Dean on my tail

HALLOWEEN Month - Cupcake Decorating

Halloween...HALLOWEEN...HALLOWEEN!!!! Can you tell I love the holiday? Any excuse to dress up as something else, I am ALL ABOUT that. But this post isn't about costumes. It's about my second favorite thing associate with Halloween...SWEETS!!! I have a massive sweet tooth. It's one of the reasons my 'diet' fads consist of salads and sugar...that's it...I wonder why they never seem to work? It doesn't matter. It is the season to indulge in all thinks sweet and delectable.
A Dooling tradition that I plan to keep going till I die is our annual cupcake decorating party we have right before Halloween. We bake all different kinds of the most tasty yummy cupcakes (half the vanilla ones are devoured by me before they have a chance to reach the table - sorry not sorry) and we decorate them them. Some are tastefully elegant (not my doing), some are cutesy ghosts and pumpkins (not my doing either) and some are gruesomely horrific (my doing - you're welcome).
Who doesn't love a cupcake? Mini cakes you can shove into your mouth quick enough that the people you're with don't have time to realize how many you've eaten - they're amazing!
So in honor of Halloween month I'm gonna share a few cupcake ideas with you all. Have a decorating party! Take pictures of your culinary masterpieces! Share them online and eat then gobble them up! Onto some of my favorites:

This Brain Cupcake is equal parts 

sick and fantastic. The tutorial from the

creative lady who thought of it can be found here:

I Wuv Brains!!!

This cupcake is GORGEOUS and perfect

for the fall. Seems like it could be a bit difficult, but I would

love to see how these turn out if anyone decides to try it.

I love this one because it seems super easy (my kind of decorating job).

It's also an ode to Vampires and I love me a good design.

Another cupcake that seems relatively easy...though I've been known to say

that and then end up with something that looks like my dog threw it up.

Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite Halloween movies (and yes

I classify more as a Halloween than Christmas movie) - so I love the idea of 

a Cupcake with a little movie theme.

Cute but also kinda creepy in a cuddly way. Perfect for kids -

especially if you can get the colors to pop.

No Halloween is complete without ghosts. This is like the

'white sheet' costume only in a cupcake version.

Graveyard cupcakes are a fun and easy (have I mentioned I love easy)

decorating idea. And from personal experience, Milano Cookies make

excellent headstones.

Witches - another staple of Halloween. I just LOVE the colors on theses.

It looks like they used fondant to make the hats, but I have found if you take Tootsie Rolls

and place them in the microwave for a few seconds they become pliable and you can shape them 

into whatever you want - like a Witches hat.

GLOW IN THE DARK GHOSTS!!!! I repeat GLOW IN THE DARK!

Okay, this is one of my favorites - just from a whole geek/science perspective and

I need to try it this year.

The tutorial can be found here:

Let me Mr. Wizard my dessert!!

If anyone decides to do any of these I would LOVE to see the pictures. Enjoy baking. Enjoy decorating. And most importantly enjoy eating!

October is upon us...FINALLY!

My absolute favorite month of the year is upon us! October is my happy place. It's like being wrapped up in a warm zombie printed blanket. It's equal parts cinnamon pumpkin fall delight and horrific costume clad fright night...like I said...my happy place.
As sad and inconsistent as my blog may be I do plan and hope on doing some October updating. Nothing like my favorite month and second favorite holiday to get give me a kick in my blogging ass.
AND in prep for that, here is a little pic of me and my peeps celebrating one of October's highlights - HALLOWEEN -

IT IS TRULY ALIVE : Dragon's Blade: Book 5 in the Protectors Saga

Life in unpredictable...you think you have a plan, and then...boom!! Your plan is blown to pieces. That is kind of what happened to me this year. After illnesses, a death in the family, switching jobs - I was finally able to get back to what I love - WRITING.

It may have taken a year more than I was hoping for, but at long last the 5th book in my Protectors installment is done and available to the world (I fist-pumped with excitement so hard I almost dislocated my shoulder). So there you have it, my slacker butt finished and is working away on my next book. I've learned my lesson, though. I'm making no promises as to when the 6th book is coming out. I can only promise that I will continue to work on it - long into the wee hours of the night - a caffeine high of diet coke keeping my jumpy - and my dog whining at me to stop messing with her sleep schedule.

Alright, now time for links. I'll post the Kindle link tomorrow as it is not yet quite available...silly Amazon:

Find it on Nook here : Dragon's Blade: Book 5 in the Protectors Saga
