Amazon Store

Posted by Debby under Introduction, What's New

Several new features have been added to the House of Shadows Blog this week. As an Amazon Associate I am able to offer my readers the convenience of shopping for Amazon products though my site. You will find a search box in the side bar that allows you to search for any product offered by Amazon. There are also pages listing books and movies that may interest you; however, you can also search for any title using the search box in the sidebar.

Offering this service to my viewers is a way to help support the cost of maintaining this site and provides the opportunity for a home-based business in the semi-retired, too-young-to-be-idle phase of my life.

I have also updated the About page to give readers a better understanding of how to navigate this site and added a comment feature to the side bar. Reader comments are always welcome and will be posted on the Comments page. Your comments can help me improve the site to make it a better resource for future visitors. If you have topics you would like to request for future posts, this is a good place to post them. Or you can send your requests to me by e-mail: mail@houseofshadows.net.

Thank you for viewing and subscribing to House of Shadow.net

5 Star Artists

Posted by Debby under Introduction, What's New

The next category to be featured on the House of Shadows Blog will be called Five Stars. This category will feature the works of top artist’s and craft’s people in the Halloween industry. A variety of different works, including sculpture, props, home haunt layouts, Halloween art, and perhaps even some original poetry may be found in this category. I am so pleased that several contributing artist’s have agreed to have their work featured on my Blog. Over the next few weeks you can expect to find posts of the fabulous work produced by Laurie Franklin (aka Lauriebeast), Angie Hill (Dead Spider), and Justine Ehlers (HalloweenArtist). I will continue to contact artist’s of interest to provide readers with many and diverse ideas for future projects. Stay tuned…

Rest In Peace

Posted by Debby under Introduction, What's New

A new category was added to the House of Shadows Blog yesterday entitled R.I.P. This page is not what you think, or then again perhaps it is. Sometimes we all need a peaceful place to unwind so this is a place to come if you need to REST IN PEACE. I will be posting pictures here that reflect the solitude of nature, make you feel warm and fuzzy, or just bring a smile to your face. Some of these pictures will be photographs we have taken, other times they will be stock photos I purchase from websites like Big Stock Photos or IStock. You will find I have a soft spot in my heart for children, babies, and animals. Come sit a while and rest your weary bones; it’s only a temporary place of rest…..or at least that’s what the whispering voices tell me!

Out of the Darkness

Posted by Debby under Introduction

This is my first blog post and I can see I have much to learn. I know I will be up to the task; it’s just a matter of when? My first order of business on the House of Shadows Blog is to send Best Wishes for a Speedy Recovery to all my Halloween Forum friends. Watching your creative energy as you prepared for the haunt season was both inspirational and frightening. In my first year as a passionate observer of the frenzy I can see how much energy it will take to meet my goals for the 2009 Halloween Season. So please dear friends, call me to task if the pace of my progress does not pick up. After all….it’s only 361 days until Halloween!
