Hello my dears! Hope everything is going amazingly in all of your lives.
So THAT time of the year has come. Yes, it’s sugah skulls timez again!!!
I know I’m not at LJ all that much, but I don’t want this sort of tradition I have with you to disappear. This wil actually be the 5th. Year of the Día de Muertos ‘ LJ Sugah Skulls fiesta and I couldn’t be more happier.
For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, every year I offer to buy sugars skulls, name them after my flisters and put them in my home altar in
Día de Muertos (November 2nd.).
Here is a more lengthier explanation from the
post of last year, the
one before that and
the one before that.
This video explains better what this day means to us:

I’m making the list early this year so I don’t have to run two days before the festivities :D The offer expires October 25, 'coz I need time to buy them.
Drop me a comment if you want me to dedicate a sugar calaca to you and what name would you like to appear on it or if you 'd like your user name on them instead. Like this:
'Helloh March, I'd like to have one named Chiquita Banana'
Or if you prefer it, you can drop me an email at marthashalala at gmail.com
So far only
nindevotee,
pride_of_erin ,
luci_2,
colleendetroit,
trillingstar, Rachel,
lisacali and
poetfades2black have requested one. Anybody else would like one?
This is how they look, remember is nothing morbid, just a very creepy way we Mexicans have to wish for a happy long life to our loved ones.
Since I can't very well send you the skulls for they are classified as food here, I will send you the label I use on them in this year Xmas card. To compensate in a way.
You know where to find me!
All my love J
