I Want My Mummy...To Party!

Today's Wonder of the World is...a Halloween Party for you!

Welcome friends! I'm so pleased you found your way from Vanessa's Party Wonderland to my little corner of South Carolina!
And you there, pretty newcomer, it's nice to meet you!
My goodness gracious, how festive you look!
It's almost a pity that we'll have to cover you up.
What? Didn't I tell you? We're all Mummies Today!
Here, hold still.

Just look at yourself in the mirror! You're bound to like what you see!

Perfect! They're Mums!
Oh sweet mummy,

Don't be shy! Let's go inside!
Look! Tanner the Slobber Dog has wiggled out of his mummy costume to give you a lick hello!

He's not much of a mummy, but he loves you!
He brought his friend along. It looks like she likes the costume!

She's not like Tanner. Tanner thinks mummies might be food on two legs. He wants to unwrap you!

Speaking of mummy dogs and food, how about some mummy treats for the mummy?
We've got more mummy dogs!

And mummy pizzas!

Or maybe you'd like a wrap.

Get it?
Now, how about a little limbo?

And you can't have a party without dancing!

Whew! Look at you!

What did you say?
Your sugar is low?
Why, I have just what you need!

Mummy cupcakes!

I'm so glad you stopped by! Before you hit the party trail, don't forget to put your name in the hat for one of the two party gifts I'm giving away!
I'll pull two names out of my comment hat first thing Tuesday morning, October 21, and each winner will receive an antique French postcard and a signed copy of my book, Random House's French By Heart!





The postcards were made during World War I. Each is dated 1917. I hope you like them!

Thank you for coming, my dear!

Have a Wonder-full Halloween! And drop by any time!
Love, Becky

Love the mummy sausages...cute! I once dressed up as a cat at a Hallowe'en party - then we went out in a taxi and my 'tail' got stuck outside the door till we got to the disco. Still makes me laugh. Yhanks for the reminder and for adding more fun to our day!

Theresa Rohrer said...

Looks like I'm all wrapped up at your party. It's pretty awesome. Happy Haunting!

Haha! I love the mummy cupcakes. I should send you a picture of the mummy glass bead I made last week. It turned out so cute, but I never listed it. I didn't know who would want a mummy bead.

Nice to meet you too. I had a great time.

Happy nightmares,

David Ebright said...

I like the tube steak - I mean hot dog - mummies.

Don't go pullin' my name outta the hat - I have your book already & if anyone visiting your blog hasn't read it by now - shame on 'em. It's funny, amusing, well written & all that other gushy stuff.

Hmmmm.... Halloween is getting close. Anything haunted is just fine with me.

Altered Route said...

Mummy Treats...these are the best!!
Great pictures!

Tumble Fish Studio said...

It was so nice to be a guest at your lovely party! I love being a mummy and the cupcakes were delicious. I must admit, I snooped around a bit. Had so much fun contemplating brooms and popcorn! There's a book I had once you might enjoy, I think it was called the Extraordinary Origins of Everyday things. I'll come back and visit longer soon. Stop by my little place if you get the chance!

noodle and lou said...

Great job with all the photos!!

I'm so intrigued by your wonderful looking book!! I have a bit of an obession with all things French and the cover is ADORABLE! How fun!! xox...jenn

Serenity said...

I don't want to admit that I haven't bought your book yet, because I have every intention of doing so and can't believe I haven't yet. But now I'll wait at least a couple of days to see if I win a signed one!! And if I do, I'll buy one for a friend instead. :)

Unknown said...

Mummy magic, oh wow. What a great post and so unique. I love those mummies-in-a-blanket too! This post is wonderful. Happy Halloween. Karen

Natalia said...

Hope you don't mind a late fly-by...I'm partying right through the witching hour!

I've enjoyed your hauntingly boo-tiful post and must try those ghoulish goodies soon.

Thanks for having me <|:^)

Oh I would adore to win your book...how exciting!! Cute party!! Thanks for coming to visit me at Kiss Noises...we have had such a lot of fun flitting all around the world on our broomsticks, dropping in here and then for refreshments and we still have such a long way to go! I have my Mummy fingers crossed, Kiss Noises Linda Lilly Cottage.

Hi Becky
What a fun party! Sorry I haven't been by to visit for awhile. I somehow lost you in my list of favorites. I've fixed it, so you'll be seeing more of me.

Oh these are great! I love the pigs in a blanket one! How creative! Your blog is so unique. I've never come across one like it. And that's a feat in the blogosphere!

And yes, you can of course use my photos. Anytime. I would be beyond flattered! Thank you!

Gina M Smith said...

Wow! What a delightful post! And I would love, love, love to have a copy of your book. Anywho, I've been meaning to order it! Do you read any Nicholas Sparks? A little treacly, but I like his NC/SC settings.

Adrienne said...

The mummy dogs and cupcakes are my favorites. So cute!

Liz Harrell said...

So fun. I wanted to be medusa this year, but CANNOT figure out how to do my hair. :(

I'm getting hungry now! My tummy could like some of those yummy mummy cupcakes. Might have to pull out the googley eyes first.

The original French movie "Diabolique" is a must-see around Halloween time.

Really enjoyed your Halloween party fun!

what a fun party you had. i loved all the mumminess. cupcakes were my fave.
sorry i missed out on the give-away.
hope you are enjoying the halloween season and festivities.

Laume said...

I'm too late for your book giveway - durnit - but it's still fun to discover your blog. Your mummy theme - VERY original. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that most of us came as ourselves - witches - LOL. I've always wanted to make those mummy hotdogs. Maybe when my granddaughter arrives for Halloween.

Sue said...

Cool to see this mummy themed party. Last Halloween, our theme was also The Mummy. We've cooked mummy pizzas, candies and cookies shaped like mummies, white lady drinks, and we made crazy mummy souvenirs. We've used a lot of toilet paper for our costumes and props. We've expected a large number of kids that will come to our event. So we availed good tent rentals. Sacramento, our hometown has a lot of reputable tent rental services that's why we didn't encounter any problems.
