Guess Who???

CT Nan here with some unexpected news for us at the house and Sue and Kevin!  We opened the door to this:

Yep, it is Joe, Reg the Christmas biting trees, 2nd cousin,  He is well over 8 feet tall at least that was the longest measuring stick he had so who knows? and loooooves Creepmas so much Rick St. Dennis, when doing his portrait for him, named him "Is It Creepmas Yet?"!  He is looking for Kevin's place but for know is bunking with the Frog and that is not going over well at all!  Reg makes sure he is always accompanied by Bubba and Ping, the skulls, on all his travels and of course his best bud, Norville. So that is 4 guests and an evil Frog in one room or basement.  The noises are horrid and we have secretly locked the door and nailed boards across it until we can get rid of the poor dear!

Sue has another thrilling chapter ready for us ( we are not sure how she will take this news! eek!) but here we go with Sue!

There was a knock on the door, then another and another. Kevin wondered what would happen if he didn't open it. He is a polite Elf so he and Fifi flung open the door and there... three children. Something wasn't quite right. They weren't singing or handing over cookies. They just grunted 'appy Creepmas' and shuffled in wafting a bit of a strange aroma and a trail of skin flakes as they passed by Kevin. Fifi's whiskers twitched as she started hoovering up the flakes without a hoover if you know what I mean. Urgh!

Kevin knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to have the kids in the kitchen with Sharon as last time they met they freaked her out by following her everywhere she went... whispering mummy.. mummy.. mummmmyyyy.... so Leigh helped Kevin shoo them up to the attic playroom where it wouldn't show if anything dropped off them. Anyway a ghost cat lived up there and would sound the alarm if the kids started to go downstairs before Kevin was able to get rid of Sharon.

There was a Tap tap de tap tap.. tap tap on the door. Someone obviously thought they had come to a speak-easy and there was a code knock to be completed. Kevin stomped down the stairs passing another sherry to Lucy as he passed the living room. Best keep her sozzled, she was quieter that way.

Who is ready for Sue's next chapter as the house fills up with all kinds of creeped up friends?  Well, here you go!

The presents had been left under the Christmas tree. Kevin did wonder whether or not it was a good idea to have a Real tree this year. He didn't know that trees could look so stroppy especially when each present was growling at the others and somehow managed to nip its branches. In fact.. before long there was ribbon flying all over the place as Reg (The tree) lifted his branches out of the way and bit down on the tags, ripping them off and shredding them scattering the bits over the rugs. Donna had arrived just in time..she was the only one to spot the yellow snowballs by Kevin's front door and brought the dripping basket into the house. Sharon heard the rumpus and marched out of the kitchen sliding on the fingers and cursing the ghouls who had assured her that they were hung for 21 days (just like Sainsbury's beef) and were well moldy therefore  shouldn't have been slippery at all. Sharon slid right into the tree which turned and bit her quite badly. She dripped blood all the way back into the kitchen muttering under her breath about axes.. dull axes. Donna started pelting Reg with the snowballs with Reg retaliating with his baubles. Reg growled at Donna but she stood firm. Nan and Val joined her and together they pulled Reg's Santa hat down over his eyes. They knew, that like a chicken Reg would not move when he couldn't see.

And now to Sue's continuing tale of poor Kevin's unplanned house party!

Only the 4th Day and Kevin groaned as he answered the door yet again. It was o.k. to have visitors but he would have rather spread them throughout the year instead of having them just turn up all at the same day. But this time when he opened the door there was no-one there. Santa had come early.. there was just a pile of presents. A bit dingy looking but.. still.. presents were always nice to receive. Kevin looked at the tags and was surprised to see the names all scribbled out (In Cool Grey 5) and his name written rather scratchily in white gel pen over the top. Nan and Fiona arrived just as Kevin was about to pick up one of the presents and carried the rest of them in to the living room. Nan found an eyeball stuck to the top box and felt very uncomfortable as it winked and started flirting with her. Fiona took charge of the snakes .. keeping them away from Fifi.  Kevin hoped that whoever had left the presents had kept the receipt...he really had enough pets with Fifi and poor Betty...  he had no room for snakes.. Lucy had another sherry and complained that she felt she was being watched.

Got to go do some shopping...let's see more goo for the party and lots of odd bits and pieces of a carnival and we are set!  Now off you go to visit the Froggie man and drop off your entries!

Bad Santa is Coming to Town..HIDE

Well, CT Nan here on the 5th day of Creepmas and my true love sent to me...Bad Santa! He is in a rotten mood after all those zillion letters from us begging for this and that.  So his solution?  Here it is and do pay heed to it!

Image is "Ya Want This??" from Rick St. Dennis and colored with Prisma colored pencils with some distress ink around him...blue/gray as his mood is not sunny at all!  

Now for the next thrilling chapter of Sue's story!  

Kevin was tearing his hair out, nearly dislodging Fifi. He hadn't heard anything about a party, and certainly didn't want to have one in his own home.He hadn't expected Sharon to turn up (With or without those dratted monkeys) and she was always trying to help.. or to interfere depending on which way you looked at it. Leigh had arrived with Val on her 4x4 broomstick..(Thank goodness the message got through) they parked out in front of the house so Nan would see it and know that she wouldn't be alone helping Kevin. They tried the kitchen door.. it was unlocked! Not like Kevin at all.. he was usually quite security conscious. And there was Sharon. Kevin had decided it would be a good idea to keep her in the kitchen where she could take charge of the nibbles. He had made sure that the mince-eyes were already in tins in the cupboard and the knees and crackers couldn't be spoiled as they were already wrapped up. He only had to make the tadpole rolls and some of those party snacks.. finger food.. no, real fingers.There was a very loud banging at the door. As Kevin slowly opened it it was suddenly dragged out of his hand and there was Lucy! She arrived in Christmas gear, martini garnished with a bloodshot eyeball in one hand and a rather tatty angel doll in the other. Oh Great! The last time Lucy was in the same room as Sharon sparks flew. Real sparks! Luckily there was loads of rooms in the house and if Sharon could be kept in the kitchen with Leigh and Lucy in the living room with Val they should have enough time to have a sweet sherry and a mince eye before they were sent on their way.
There was an odd sort of scratching on the hall window as if a branch were scraping back and forth. Kevin wanted to ignore it. He already had two more guests than he had ever had in his house at the same time. Enough was enough.

We Three Kings of RSD are,

Extra special fun for you today! 

Here is the first Creepmas treat from CT Anne:

We Three Kings of RSD are,
Bringing sharp objects from afar

Claws and teeth and syringes meet

At Santa's sleigh with a tree...

Nurse Rozetta is back, with a couple of friends - Caustic Rattflynger is armed with a couple of rats, and Zombie Cat Dragger is, no surprise here, dragging a cat.  They've got a Christmas tree aboard Santa's sleigh, and are ready to check out the Naughty and the Nice.  Though I'm wondering whether the rats will survive -looks like someone hiding in the sleigh is offering one to the cat.

These 2 characters were created similarly to Nurse Rozetta back in May with the characters being printed onto Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) and "painted" with Jacquard's Dy-na-flow before being stitched like a quilting sandwich and then cut out.

Merry Creepmas Everyone!

And our second treat from our Guest Creative Sue with Chapter 2 of her Creepmas Saga

It's the same every year. Family and friends don't always get on. Sharon had arrived early, she had placed baubles on her hat and had added a slash of bright red lippy. She was ready to party.... but didn't know that it was 'The done thing' to arrive at a party a bit late and to make an entrance! Sharon was a bit miffed. She had left her flying monkeys at home..goodness knows they made such a mess at the last party. Kevin had complained about finding scat in the pot plants and Sharon had tried to follow them around with poop bags but couldn't be everywhere at the same time. Kevin decided to untie just one of the bats to take a message to Val and Leigh who have been living with the ghouls.. the message Kevin gave to the bat was ' Help needed, too many visitors' he hoped this time the message would get through... the message sent by bees with Burt lisping nearly added to the disaster at the lake. Kevin's dog Gerald seemed to have taken a liking to Sharon and kept nibbling her baubles and spitting out the wire bits whilst Sid (Sharon's snake) waited and watched for an unguarded moment to strike! Was that another knock on the door?

Chapter 1 

Kevin had survived Halloween. Fifi had finally dried her fur and of course it had gone frizzy. Betty who lived in Kevin's pocket had come off worse. She died the day Kevin was rescued from the lake. One of the ghouls was a part time taxidermist and he treated and stuffed Betty and arranged her in an almost natural position and stitched her into Kevin's front pocket. Kevin was feeling festive. He strung Creepmas lights outside his house underneath the bats. The bats were quite annoyed at this but stayed where they were after Kevin had tied their legs to the wires which held the lights in place. In fact.. the waving of their wings lent a somewhat cozy look to the place. It was agreed amongst the animals of the lake that a party should be held at Kevin's Pit.. of course no-one thought to ask Kevin if he minded. Kevin had just settled down to watch Dragons Den.. one contestant had just been barbequed and another was waiting to see if he had answered correctly when there was a loud knock on the door...
