    The first song is beautiful, thanks so much for that one.
    I love the Bette Midler song, but don't understand how she can sing with those teeth in her mouth. HaHa
    The one from Poltergeist is so creepy, even if you didn't know what movie it was from.
    Thanks for the history lesson. I knew that it was a combination of Christian & pagan traditions, but I still love to celebrate for the fun and with the children - not to mention the candy!!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog, feel free to link up on our meme linky, too. HUGS!
    BTW, I follow you, also.

    You go girl, great pics! Where ever did you find the theme from poltergeist? Very cool! I never heard the first song, but intriguing. Totally love Bette Midler and I still can't believe that's Sarah Jessica Parker! The last one was just the frosting on the cake. Even my husband stopped, and listened. ~hehe~ Hope you play along with us next week at Monday's Music Moves Me too! Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

    These are all such great videos. I especially loved the first one and of course Bette. There is only one Divine Miss M and she rocks. Poltergeist I thoroughly enjoyed my friend. These are great. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my playground. Much appreciated. Have a great week ahead and Happy Halloween :)

    Thanks for sharing the history on Halloween. Since it is not custom to celebrate it here, I loved to find out more about it. The first song has such a lovely, relaxing tune. The second one was great fun. I think Bette Midler is a very talented artist. But to be truth, I skipped on the third one... because I'm afraid that I can't sleep :p. Have a wonderful week, dear.

    Thank you all for stopping by & for your lovely comments!I wish i could comment on all separately!
    Loreena does have a hauntingly beautiful voice!
    Hocus pocus happens to be my daughter Ashley's fave Halloween movie and I think Bette is so funny in that movie!I don't know how she managed to sing with those teeth either!
    I was looking for the theme to the Omen when I came across the theme to Poltergeist...that movie freaked me out too so I picked that one instead!
    this theme was great fun!And Rosidah there is so much more to halloween than meets thre eye!Some of us consider it a high holiday!;0)
    HAPPY SANHAIM ALL!

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Artist of the Week :Frida Kahlo

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist. This week in keeping with my Mexico theme, I will feature the  fabulous    Frida Kahlo : Frida was born on  July 6th, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico to a Hungarian-Jewish father a nd a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries. While she is bed-ridden and encased in a body cast   Frida began to paint lying in bed with a special easel r...
