decorating....??



Oh MY MY it is nearly 2 weeks into October I have yet to get up ALL my decorations...

We are talking no less then 6 XL plastic tubs FULL of Halloween deco...I decided this year to move my grave yard the other side of our back yard-when the area is nice dead thanks to this months passed hurricane season-How lucky can I get, aye...

we decided of course to reuse the crosses my father made (from cypress wood) from last year again this year...Well lil note though I kept them up all year long-cause the back yard has that all ready dead look as is so...I like it that way though...we cleared out the bigger trees & pointy poky things & I went to the local garden store " Mitch's" & i bought myself 12 big bags of mulch-I spreads them out in my grave area, stuck the crosses in, Hung a BIG spider web in back of it all wrapped around my part dead trees & today we going to add 2 spot lights to give it well light...you know that ""EEK"" feeling.

Big Dog decided a few years back to hang my 2-4 ft tall skeletons from his A-Frame with hang mans nooses. I bought after hallow one year for a cheap sale of $3.00 each Reg price ranges in the more then $12.00 each

Plus the hallow sale had a less then $5. dead plastic parrot-It has bones showing & feathers missing. So perfect with the hanging skeletons-Beings they are Pirate Skeletons.

We added a few dead people hanging from the trees as well. I got them on sale just last sat. for $5.99 each reg priced at $25.00 That is a deal I just couldn't pass up...

**Brain Fart** I know the money market isn't the best...But i always go all out there for Halloween it's what I do & I do it too for Christmas-I save my money here & there just for those celebrations...Plus I save & save from years pass...Sooo, YEAH I had my little stash for this year...That is why I'm able to keep up the tradition for Moon Dog Spot's birthday & our Halloween Gathering. You Know our lil dog is turning 4 this year...On Oct 22nd

OK back to Deco buz.
Me & Spot added some ""NEON GREEN"" webs to the outside of our home this am.
We live in a brick house this is perfect for the webs to cling to-no need for staple gun or black tape...just spread out & wipe it to the house with your hands....We had a blast doing it too!!!
Kept Spot entertained for 3 hours...Not bad for the am hours.

I bought at Micheal's 2 sets of Bats Flying Lights
They are adorable too=Cost was reg. $19.99 we had hit the 40% off sale PLUS I had two coupons that came in the mail for another saving of $10. Off $20.
My total for both sets was with tax $4.12

I placed these hanging from my box-in front of my side door & french back doors.

We will be doing alot more decor. this afternoon & finish with it all soon too

Ohh I must mitchen to y'all that my church bench will have a purpose this year...My dead folks will be placed on them as though they were the ones handing out hallow candy to all the boys & ghouls...Ohh sooo spooky!!!


As soon as I get my printer problem fixed I'll post pict. for y'all to check out our hallow world


Till next time I post...when ever that may be...
