Hello fellow Haunters!

My name is Tammy.. I live in Rural New Brunswick Canada. I love anything and everything to do with Halloween!

I've always loved decorating for Halloween, but never had made my own "Big Ticket" props until I had met up with another Halloween nut who put me on the right track of checking the internet for "Do It Yourself" prop making.

I must admit, my husband thought I was crazy/possessed when I started wanting to make a well last year and a "Samara"...then I had seen the "Beloved/Alice" tombstone and fell in love!! So I got busy and made them and had a blast.

Unfortunately, I must have done a really good job with Samara...as some goof-ball stole her from my lawn!!! At least they left the well (I'm figuring they couldn't fit it into their car)....so I made another quick version of Samara coming out of the well instead.... actually I think she looked more creepy than the one standing on the lawn.

So I've learned that I have to keep my props closer to the house, which is a shame, as I have a huge lawn to put stuff on

I don't know if this is allowed...but here is the slideshow I made of creating the Well.... I had found the "How To" from an online Halloween site, and I am thankful to those who posted it. I think it's wonderful that people are willing to share their ideas with others!!!

Welcome Tammy. Glad you found us. Looking forward to your participation.

Welcome to the forum!
Great slideshow, love your work on the well!
Your props are beautiful!

You will find lots of friends and ideas here!

I love the well. Welcome to the Forum.

Howdy Tammy, My Fellow Canadian!
I love the Well, and your Samara prop as well! I think I might attempt one! Real shame someone stole your original one! You should put a fence of some sort around your Decorations and Props, there are lots of tutorials on this site! I also love your Beloved/Alice tombstone, I have always wanted to make one! Terra made an excellent version as well!


I also love your two blowmolds at the end of your stairs!

Hi & welcme! You did a great job on your props. Sorry to hear one was stolen - try a search of "theft prevention" & you'll find some threads with some great discussion about theft deterents.

Feel free to jump in - lots of great ideas to be shared. Have fun!

Hello Tammy, and welcome to the forum!
