” Cujo the Hat Sitter ”
I am not out of the woods yet- but- I can see the full Moonlight thru the trees….. I am exhausted and going to bed now, but before I do , I had to post these absolutely adorable pictures of my little Cujo. The first one is her sitting on her new sleeping place, um bad, but she looked so cute I didn’t have the heart to chase her off, plus it made such a cute pic, but blurry. And the second I like to call this one, “Cujo the Conquer “. My hub was making the bed, but she was napping on it ( her second favorite place for the week) , and she decided no one was going to interrupt her. I heard, ” Lisa help ” , from the bedroom, and this is what saw , and immediately ran to get the camera. I did edit it so as not to damage you all with a carpenter and plumber trait, my hub was exposing 
I will be more chatty once I finish all these Halloween orders, maybe I will even have the energy to post some fav recipes.
Good Night all , enjoy the Full Moon festivities tomorrow!
Oh- and we do have another adorable fur baby named , Stolichnaya , he is half russian blue , I will take some pics of him soon.
Congratulations to Heather from Chicago- you have won the grand prize!!!!
So glad I heard from you today:) Sorry to the rest of you, no second chance drawing:(
But I am sure you are happy for Heather! Right? !
I have tried and tried and will email once more the grand Prize winner- PLEASE !!!!!- I am giving away your first name now , and also your prize if i don’t hear from you soon- I don’t want to pull another name , and I feel bad about doing it- so please, if your name is HEATHER!!!!! Email or call MoonaLisa- Thank you- I will draw a new name Tuesday at Midnight pacific time of I don’t hear from you.
With that being said - I just took cool new pics of the Haunted Perfume and handmade bag- which is literally handmade now that my sewing machine seems to be off balance. I think it started happening last Halloween when I was so tired, and racing to finish for the Haunted show- echo, echo- déjà vu, ( which by the way is the Name of a new fragrance coming for the holidays) - I sewed right thru my finger- yow!- it has always been one of those things I fear most- and glad it happened- it was-much more damaging for the noggin then the finger:)
But i think it has taken its toll on my machine , and I must get it to work again to finish these bags. I managed to get one done - half by machine , and half by hand. And lookie at the awesome little find I got- a real live antique Laudanum glass to go in my collection- love it! I put Maniacal Mammies photo in the the little picture frame that is attached. Well off to bed , and on to shipping a bunch in the morn- TTFN
I am working at a furious pace to get all these orders out- it was slow going at first, but I seem to have hit a groove- knocks on wood.
I am currently working on the Grand Poopah Size MOB orders- I mean big - really big orders- I think they will all ship out (the Biggies I mean) By this Saturday October 13th- well thats my plan . I am working simultaneously on fifteen orders right now.
Getting the big guys out of the way does wipe me out of stock- a few times going-( don’t worry , I have more supplies) but I looked ahead at all the other orders , and that will leave only thirteen , much more manageable size orders left from the very first 24 hours of the sale. And after working on the biggies- I should be able to punch out smaller size orders fast.
THEN…… I am on to the the orders which I have read on some the forums being called the - Second chance Halloween- all the orders placed after I reopened on the 21st- they are quite a few- but none seem to be huge- so it will be tight - but I believe doable - of course I am not counting any time for sleeping or eating
If you placed an order on or after the 21st , and it is not time sensitive- as far as reaching you by Halloween ( I noticed some of the international ones don’t really have any Halloween items in them) , please let me know. So it will alleviate a bit of pressure on ole Moona- you will be rewarded handsomely for your sacrifice.
Just please know, I am working 24-7, I do NOT want to disappoint anyone! I will work , and work , until they are all shipped out.
No Sapphire Martinis for Moona until ever last order is out- oh but on Halloween- oh yes - the Gin is mine !- spins head
Please if your initials are HS- please email or call MoonaLisa- you have possibly won the Grand Halloween Prize- and if i don’t hear from you by this Tuesday- October 16th- I am going to be forced to draw another name for the prize. I kept all the names in my black bucket , with a cloth over them to keep them-safe, just in case:)
Ok- the Grand Prize winner has not gotten back to me yet- so I can not post her name until I know what is kosher for me to say. But CONGRATULATIONS none the less! And WELCOME !
And I don’t recognize her from any of the forums or customer base, so she must not live via the internet like we do- Ha ha ha
but we got a lot of entries from first timers, old friends of Moona before she was Moona, and around the globe- as well as of course MOB members and all the forums- so it has been a great response! Thank you too all who entered and I just love giving prizes so I think I will do a pre - spring Mad Hatter one this coming new year- that shall be fun- full of riddles to hurt your head
So on to the congrats of the winners I can pronounce- da ta ta da!….
in seconded place- we have little Miss Celia from RI ! Congrats - you have won a hurricane Halloween candle in scent of your choice- Yahoo!
In third place we have- AlaskaSnow!! - You have won a smaller size Halloween gift box full of Hallowe’en pleasure ! Congrats!
and for the secret- never told a sole I was gonna do this- the bonus round question- Who is Mathias and the Family- I drew the name before I read her answer- but her entry was in the bonus round pile and I am posting her answer because it was so thorough- how appropriate she won in this category :
BONUS: “Coffins Matthias. Build coffins. That’s all you’re going to need.”
Matthias is the leader of the group of vampires (the Family) in Richard Matheson’s book, “I Am Legend.” In The Omega Man, they are nocturnal, plague-stricken mutants.
ALSO: Matthias is the main character in the first book of the Redwall series. He is one of a family of warrior mice.
Congratulations- Heretic (BPAL Forum) also known as Medievalista (Lush Forum)!!! You have won a super cool Egyptian deck of cards and a beautiful tea cup with a built in strainer!
So I am thrilled you all had fun, and sorry to all who didn’t win, but there will be more chances in the future.
Have a great Night- Blessings- Moona
P.S. as soon as the grand prize winner emails I will post her name .
In the Shadow of B.O.B.
Hello boys and girls- the contestants have been drawn! We are just waiting for confirmation emails , and then we will announce the winners. We received a bounty of entries from all over the world! I tried in the beginning of the contest to reply back with your scores, but then the entries kept coming, and coming , and coming , and I just didn't have the time to respond to everyone. But be assured, we made triple checks , and all scores were tallied and email addresses entered. We drew names on the Witching hour :)
Thank you to everyone who participated , it was very fun. For sure we will do this again next year , but with much harder questions. Everyone did so well, I believe it must have been too easy , or you all are too smart :)
So keep checking back- when I hear back from all the winners , I will post the answers on the web site and the names of the lucky.
