I am in awe of people that creative, i'd do it if I had the time but with a 4yr old it makes it hard lol They look really, really good!!

tweetr1979 I love that bats across the garage doors. So cool! I used to have a scarecrow sitting outside my front door with a bowl of candy and a sign that said "take only one please" when my girls where young. On Halloween night one of us would take the stuffing out of the scarecrow and put the clothing and mask on. If someone grabbed more than one piece of candy we would grab their arm. Scared the life out of many, many teens, lol!!
My oldest daughters birthday is October 13th, (no it wasn't a friday the year she was born), she is a halloween freak! She even dresses up to go to Valley Scare. She has been asked if she woks there when she was a teen.

Thanks

those bats were very time consuming lol lots of cutting with a box cutter and almost numb hands afterwards hahaha I am so glad that they last the weather, they went through the rain and wind when sandy came last year - I lost a few to the fields across the roads but was glad most of them stayed on the house!!

I am waiting for hubby to come home next weekend to help set up the cemetary fence, by then I should have all the bits painted, screwed together etc. Might even get a start on it tomorrow when the little one is at preschool!!

This year we are throwing a Halloween party. We have a fireplace so we are buying dry ice and putting it in it. Then we are putting green lights so it looks like a spooky fog! We are also putting a scary pumpkin in it so its extra scarey!! there will also be fake bats, spider web, jack-o-lanterns, bloody hand prints, and of course candy! I can't wait!! 8)

I'm haunting this thread because I have never celebrated Halloween before. Yup, I'm the Halloween Virgin and, unfortunately, it looks like it'll stay that way until I move out. Dad's always been a bit of a....non-conventional holiday prude, I suppose. So October 31st has always been off limits. It sucks.

I'm hoping, though, that this year will be the year that I actually go out with friends, all dressed up. I have no idea what I want to be, though. As a plus size girl, I've found that all the costumes my size are a little trashy. But I'll be living through my sister by decorating her apartment with little creature eyes and bat cut outs and I'll probably make some tasty Halloween treats for the neighbor kids, even though they don't trick-or-treat around here (the street-lighting is terrible; I wouldn't want kids walking around in the dark, anyway).

We'll see if I can get away with putting pumpkins on the grocery list, though. And if the pumpkins end up carved after I've scraped the good pulp and seeds out of them, well, I'm an artist. How could I waste such a great canvas?

I can't wait to go grocery shopping, heehee!
