Congratulations all of you mystery-suspense lovers... it was a landslide vote for Dark and Mysterious!!

I apologize for the lateness of this thread, but I was in the car all day yesterday on the way home from OSSAS, so I hope that will be a legit excuse. I know... there is NO excuse! Hahaha! Oh well!

I have to say I am super excited about this month's theme, because I truly love the mysterious stuff! I can't wait to see all the awesome stuff we're going to post! Let's get started!!

Ooook! Dark and mysterious it is! Hmmmmm, now what to do!

Okay so if all goes well and I can get my two year old to stop screaming I should be making some cookie dough today...I will get both themes done at the same time....now I just have to figure out something dark and mysterious. Hmmmmmmm.....maybe when the nasua calms down, the brain will start working again! LOL

can someone please give some examples of dark and mysterious. and please dont say halloween!

Oh pechee... unfortunately it's really hard to say, because this whole thread is all about how YOU personally interpret the theme. However, if I was going to give some basic examples, I would say, think of a mystery movie. A character from that. Or, perhaps a dark historical figure... Jack the Ripper? Anything that you find to be mysterious or dark!! I know, I haven't helped you very much. I'm sorry.

you did help, thanks.

I have an engagement cake due this weekend so after that I can start planning this one out!

And it's cakes or cookies, right?

Anything edible! I don't care if you mold it out of spaghetti noodles! That would be mysterious, now wouldn't it?

i'm interested to see what kind of stuff is posted.

my checkbook is actually quite dark and often times mysterious

Please my checkbook is down right scary. Gives me nightmares

This is going to be alot of fun!!

Awesome! I have an idea!!!!!!! I can't wait to get started. I bet nobdoy else will think the way I'm thinking either! It's going to be awesome IF I can pull it off!

I'll tell you what is dark & mysterious...getting my 17 year old son to pick up after himself

I think something dark and mysterious lives in my DS's room. He seems to loose alot of things in there.

i can't wait to see what everyone posts! i have a lot of bright and cheery this month, a lot of birthdays, bridal showers and fair entries.

Ok so I've never done one of these challenges before....when do we post our themed goodies? Any time during Oct. I suppose right? Is there a certain thread where we post it? Post it here in the General forum?

Hey Nickymom, glad you're going to join us! You can post your entry any time during the month, you simply come and post it right here in this thread. You can post the actual picture, or just a link if you want.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask, or, on the first page of this thread there is a link to the FAQ that I wrote up about the Theme Of The Month!! It's just plain fun!!

Ok, for some weird reason I didn't post the link on the first post of this thread!! I ALWAYS do, but it didn't happen this time, sorry!

Here it is!

Thank you Melvira!!!

Those pops are cute jescapades!

thanks! here's a picture of the cats up close. i noticed you can't see them very well in the other picture.

Yay! I like the kitties!!

I have been saving something for a halloween contest - does anyone know if there going to be one ?? I'm tempted to post it here instead now...

You know, I haven't heard anything about a Halloween contest, but that sure would be great!

I like the idea of the Halloween contest too! My dark and mysterious is racking my brains to try and put it together!

I up for the contest anyways!!

Dark and Mysterious! I love it!

It's been a few weeks since I was last logged in. Just not time.

I love the marshmallow kitten and ghost, I made the pumkins before but I really like 3 in a row!

I made these cupcakes last year for a party and I think it fits the Dark and Mysterious as well as October's Halloween's! There were Cats, Mummys, Ghosts, Witches, Bats, Eye balls and spiders.Oh my!

I also have a link to some other cupcakes I made that fit the dark and mysterious.

Good Luck
