It went quite well &#8211; we had a good turnout with lots of guests invited by church people. We served chili and cornbread (that magical combination!) and had games, prizes, candy, candy, candy. I did some face painting, which was fun, and I didn&#8217;t go into the &#8220;funrooms&#8221; &#8211; ie scary rooms! But I heard they were really awesome.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Princess and Sock Monkey\" title=\"Princess and Sock Monkey\" src=\"http:\/\/sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/ImageUploads\/HarvestParty.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I dressed up as a princess. I don&#8217;t have much experience putting my hair up in curls (OK &#8211; I&#8217;d never done it, actually) and apparently &#8220;spray gel&#8221; doesn&#8217;t sub in well for &#8220;hair spray&#8221; because my big curls on top wouldn&#8217;t hold. So I left the velcro rollers in and said I was a princess with a bad hair day. Good tiara day, though &#8211; I made the thing myself in about 15 minutes, with a dollar&#8217;s worth of silvery pipe cleaners. Sweet! My purple gown was from my role as a bridesmaid in JI&#8217;s wedding in October 04. I paid good money for that dress so I was happy to have an opportunity to wear it again, and to very good effect. I wish I felt that pretty every day!<\/p>\n<p>BN went as&#8230; drumroll please&#8230; a <strong>sock monkey!!!<\/strong> He did the whole thing himself, from concept to execution. He looked great. The big stuffed head made quite an impression at the party! Most people didn&#8217;t know it was him under there. Some people never found out&#8230; Like one of the haunted-room actors got a scare in return when BN came out of nowhere and tackled him with his sock-wrapped arms. Freak out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was the Harvest Party at Willamette Bible Chapel.
