Thread: Evolution of a graveyard...

Tweet

Sweet pics, thanks for sharing! I recall seeing at least one pic from previous years.

That's exactly where I was. Tombstones were all made to fit into a box I had...problem was, I ended up with about 3 boxes of tombstones. I built a couple sections of fence at first. Then 4 more. Then 6 more. Then more.

I kept adding tombstones with new sayings, but eventually just decided that the same sayings would still be funny the next year!

There is so much to see that much is missed. I find that when people go through the graveyard a 2nd and 3rd time you hear them say "wow I didn't see that before". All of us that do a graveyard theme work hard on realistic tombstones, grave grabbers, etc. but I feel that alot of the detail is lost by people enjoying it. I love the graveyard theme and will always have it but is there a point of too much to see??
