In honor of Halloween 2010, I decided to post some photos from our Halloween Party/Haunt 2002! I can't believe 8 years have passed, since sometimes it feels like yesterday!
My dear friend Marie and I had planned to do something in 2001 after Martha Stewart came out with her first Halloween magazine, but after 9/11 we just lost our oomph to do anything.
So we gathered many ideas over the next 8 months and got to work summer of 2002.
We had so much fun, but time makes things fuzzy and stressful times not as bad ! :o) We were crazy by the night of the party!
