Welcome to our forty-fifth PartyChitChat.

Here is our news:

• We have finished redoing the website in the new look.

• Work is continuing on our spicy kit called "Murder In Outer Space". If you would like us to let you know when it is ready, please email us via info@merrimysteries.com. We are almost finished some spicy versions of "One Of The Girls". If you would like us to let you know when they are ready, please email us via info@merrimysteries.com.
• I have written an ebook to help people who are going through the process of having a house built for them. I just went through this myself and I thought I may as well share my research for the benefit of others. And I have had some experts in this area contribute their advice. If you or your friends are about to go through this, please see www.newhousebuilding.com.

In this issue, we have articles about:

• Our photo competition winners
• Our decoration competition.

Our photo competition winners

Unfortunately we only had one entrant in the competition this time, so they are the winner by default (although her photos are very good). We have 2 other prizes not being given out. The winner is:

• Lisa Hunt (USA) for photos from her Celebrity Celebrations party.

We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 15 November 2007 (see photos.htm for details).

Decoration competition

Unfortunately we haven't had any entrants in this month's competition and so we are not able to give a prize.

We are commencing a new competition with a closing date of 15 November 2007 (see decor.htm for details).

Lisa sent in this feedback about her party:

"Hello, We just had the Celebrity Celebrations party for our son's 16th Birthday. WOWW what a hit. We had a great time! Everyone participated, including my 12 year old daughter who was Bartholomew, my 17 year old was Rita Hayworth, my Grandmother was Dr. Virgil Vinessi, my Mom was Patsy Cline, my husband was The Duke, I was Pamela Persimmons, and the Birthday boy was Groucho Marx. I wonder if this is the first time you have had four generations at a mystery?

Thank you so much for a great time, I am looking forward to more Merri Mysteries,

Lisa Hunt

Florida,
USA"
