Biggie,

I haven't seen your work but I hope you will post your designs and masks for us to look at when you've got something available.

^^^I will, I had already completed a sculpt and sadly ruined it due to material issues. I have to revert back to good ole plaster to mold my stuff. Heres a link to a facebook page that I have until I get my site going.

You are making memories that will cause raucous laughter around the Thanksgiving table in years to come! Enjoy and cherish every moment before it vanishes right before your eyes. BOO

So True....

I work 11 straight days in a row then have one off between both jobs. Not to mention being a full time student I have no time to make props so I just buy everything.

Where do you find the time to build props?

I'm the father of four girls (oldest will be 15 in August and the youngest turns 2 in a week). I spend a lot of time at work, and I spend a lot of time helping my wife juggle the girls just so we can make it through each day. It feels like every day just gets away from me. By the time the girls are home from school and I make dinner, then server dinner, then fight with the littles (our nickname for the 4 year old and two year old) to get them in the bath and then into bed, my wife and I just want to relax a bit and enjoy some peace and quiet.

I wish I could say I find time on the weekends, but my wife works on Sundays, so I'm usually taking care of the girls and it's hard to find things they all want to do so that I can sneak off to the garage and work on something.

If that's not enough, the few times I can find some time, it's an hour here or two hours there. It's hard to get in the mood, or figure out what I can get done between other household tasks or parental responsibilities. (Even now, I can hear our 4 year old throwing a fit because she wants to play with something the 2 year old just ran off with.)

There are some nights, I send my wife up to bed and then go out to the garage or bring a small project into the living room so I can tinker and watch late-night tv. A guilty pleasure, to be sure, and I usually pay for it the next day.

So, once again, how do you find the time to produce such beautiful and creative props?

the only reason you enjoy it so much is because you cant devote too much time to it,, keeps it special, i really dont hunker down untill 3 weeks before halloween
