H2 Revealed

It was my cousins Amy and Cortney. They'll never admit to it though. It ruins the mystery. The day progressed through a series of emails. We met at Cafe Rio...

Yes, I chose the most embarrassing costume I could find in either mine or my mother-in-law's collection. I figured if I was going to totally embarrass myself in public, I was going to do it right!

Unfortunately it wasnt your heads rolling down that lane. You must picture scavenge now.

Email #3...

H2

You made it out alive... at least this year! 

BWAHAHAHA!

So It Begins...

I just received the following email in my inbox from a John Doe:

While you sleep I wait and watch.....

13 hours till your death row walk

H2

Technology is key to escaping me.

I've been in your house,

I've been to your work,

I've ate at your table,

I've smelled your shampoo,

I've been in car,

And now I'm in your head.

E-mail will be the way you survive,

so always keep your phone by your side.

It really has been nice knowing you.

Costuming Decisions

Welp, kids, I need some help. As many of you may know, husbandman and I along with some of my cousins have recently been involved in a mysterious string of events. The plot thickens with every turn. Honestly, I have no idea what to expect from the whole thing. If you are just now tuning in to this developing story, you can read more about it here and here.

We have all decided that H2 stands for Halloween 2, since we are all required to dress in costume for no apparent reason in April.  And since, as previously discussed, this is likely to be the day that I die, I want to look good! So, dear friends, I am asking you to contribute some costume ideas. What has been your favorite ever Halloween costume? Couple costumes would be especially good for this because, as you know, I have this guy that I'm kinda liking that needs a costume too. If it was up to him, he would go as a college student. Sorry, baby, but that's lame. ;) Help me!

Here are our costumes from the past two Halloweens:
2009

We were Medusa and the man turned to stone. My fingers were raw after making that headband.
2010

For some reason I can't find a picture of me in my costume last year. So here is my cousin modeling it for me. I burned the heck out of my fingers making this dress. Apparently my fingers do not like Halloween. It's pretty spectacular in person if I do say so myself. I was a peacock (obviously). I found those eyelashes at a drug store and designed the costume based on them.

Any ideas?? I'm fresh out.

I'm kind of a big deal...

Today I was one of the featured crafters over at this lovely! Special thanks to the fabulous Nichelle for featuring Preston and Randi's Sweethearts flowers! I'm honored.




P.S. By way of an update, all of the cousins received creepy phone calls from a "murderer-type" voice telling us to beware because H2 is on the way. They came from all different numbers. Mine came from my mom's number while I was talking to her on the other line. Also, my cousins Amy and Kate received a bag of raw meat! 
I'm starting to fear for my life. Britt

A Mysterious Message

This evening I was just sitting on my couch working on my laptop when I thought I heard the gate open outside. Bandit started going crazy and barking like a maniac. I waited for a second but there was no knock on the door. I even looked out the window but no one was there. It was an incredibly windy evening. It must be the wind, right?

A little while later I opened the door to let Bandit out and I spied this taped to my door...

 It was a mysterious note addressed to Britt and Braden. Packaged very lovely too, don't you think?

Here is what it said...

It is a few lines from Poe's "The Raven" and some instructions to meet at Cafe Rio on April 2. And we have to wear costumes.  

At the bottom it reads: H2 will be here soon.... watch for more. 

Mysterious, no? I haven't the foggiest idea who it is from. Although I should also mention the other notes that have come before. 

Back in October, we received a similar note in our mailbox with the first stanza of the Raven and a message to look for more clues... behind the chamber door. We checked every door in the house and we could never find anything. I called a few suspects but no one had any idea what I was talking about. We gave up and forgot about it. 

Fast forward to Christmas Day. I'm sitting there opening presents with my cousins and my aunt pops in this DVD that she found that said simply: PLAY ME. Come to find out, all of my cousins had gotten messages in October too. It was this video very similar to the one in the movie "The Ring." It was just a bunch of random creepy images and the message at the end about meeting at Cafe Rio in April. 

I am completely baffled by this mystery and I have no idea what to expect. Costumes in April?? WEEEEEEIRD! What could we possibly be doing? April 2nd could very well be the day that I die. 

What do you think, friends? Any master sleuths out there that can solve this mystery? I'll keep you updated if I find out anything else.
