Counting Downing and Rushing Around...

Cool shelf with white paper towels rolls, posing as pvc candles =)

Cemetery entry way: Don't mind the stupid gates that won't meet up >=(

Foam pumpkin make-over:



Sketch for stained glass window:




32 days... Now that the ground breaker is done, except for weather proofing, which can wait b/c he will be one of my 'special' props, that will go out a few days before Halloween. So, now I'm tightening up my schedule and list of things I want done.... and it's ambitious, but if I stick to it I think I can make it work!

Tonight, I have to finish my Halloween countdown sign and try to put it in the yard tomorrow morning.

This weekend, I'm going to begin work on my stained glass window project, which will be painted on a sheet and illuminated with a flood light behind it.

This weekend and next, pvc flicker candles. I only need about 8 of them... if I can pump out more, GREAT, but if not, at least I'll have the important ones.




Can she do it? Of course she can! She's Countess Von Rauber and her cemetery must be in tip top shape in 32 days!!!!

Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses


YUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Hershey is genius =) I was a bit apprehensive about getting these. I couldn't quite imagine how chocolate and pumpkin spice flavor would mingle, but I HAD to try them.

Much to my surprise, they used white chocolate, which they colored orange (how Halloweenie!), which mingles perfectly with the cinnamon and nutmeg =)

Be warned, you truly get a mouth FULL of pumpkin spice flavor =)

Not Much...

I had intentions to get more done this weekend, but it didn't work out that way. Generated a bunch of great ideas with my hubby. Hopefully he can get some time off of work soon to help me make them come alive.

I was able to get some liquid latex, and applied it to one hand of my ground breaker, to see how it looked over the paper towel paper mache. Looks good and feels neat. I think that the paint is going to look great over it... but I'll see once I paint a piece of the test area.

Also, the eyeballs got voted out. I wasn't quiet sure of them myself, but three people out of 4 against the eyes, helped me make my decision and I'm happy with it.
