The Great Pumpkin

Nothing much new here. I am trying to keep busy with spring clean up. I have a lot to clean up! What happened with the house? You must be camping now, I hope you have a nice trip. Hey, how is your prop coming for the contest, are you finished? I would love to see a picture.

oh my gosh. so we took some halloween up to the storage unit to store, and meant to get some stuff for a garage sale coming up, but were greeted by 2 wasps and 1 big fat spider. so we went back home and grabbed 2 bug sprays and 1 flyswatter. we then went back, and there were now 2 big spiders and still 2 wasps. we sprayed and the spiders and wasps dissappeared. then pretty soon we see a smaller spider, i sprayed and tried to swat him but missed. then we saw the grandaddy spider of them all. i sprayed, and he was covered, but he just started dropping. how can that small line they drop on hold such big boddies? anyway, he was a coming, and i was a spraying, and i got a good shot and smacked him, he got up, i smacked him, he started heading my way, and smoosh, then that's all it wrote. shivers. I HATE SPIDERS. all the years i've stored there, i've never seen spiders. especially to have that many spiders. yikes. so am i to take it there is a nest of spiders. i think i'm going to bomb the place.

sounds like your getting the little guy done. makes me more and more curious. have a good time in training. see you when you get back.
thurs is my dr app. i'm hoping she releases me so i can go back to work. soooo broke and bored. keep your fingers crossed for me

you make me laugh, your hands are not bad at all. i am excited to see what this guy looks like. i have pictures worked up in my head, but i'm sure they are nothing like what he's going to look like.
sounds like you guys are going to have some fun. i miss the camping my daughter and i use to do, it was good times. i know there will be some work involved for you guys, but i think you should have fun.

i like the name poppy, it sounds perfect. i think your project will be cool.
yeah, i want to see dark shadows too. okay, if you would just move closer, that would be great. say, aren't you looking for a house. you could buy mine. i could move to brit. we all would be closer.
has the halloween lady been talking to you much lately? i haven't heard from her for awhile, at least not like she use to. i hope she is doing okay. i know she has been stressed lately.

you got a sneak peak? you got me real curious now. hey, pump it up bethie, may 1st is to close.
i've been feeling better and better. i have a dr. appointment thurs, i sure hope the dr will release me. i'm bored, i hate sitting home. and it wouldn't have been so bad if i could have vacummed and mopped. all of it was taboo. i am so looking forward to going back. keep your fingers crossed for me.
have you seen there is a new dark shadows movie coming out? they have johnny depp playing barnabus. i loved that soap when i was young, i hope the movie is good. johnny is a good actor, but i hope they don't make the movie silly. if he plays his character like in the pirates, which he was good in, it won't be suitable for this movie. willy wonka and alice he seemed to do the same straight faced, emotionless acting. i have a feeling it will be the same for this movie, i hope not. in todd sweeny it was close to the same acting, but a little more serious. well, i am for sure going to this movie when they release it.
they have curbside in charles city, we picked up a broken little table, a basket, and a fake flower. we hope to find a doll or stuffed animal and a watering can. then we will set up a little scene in front of my sisters house. we'll have the character watering the empty basket, and the last day before trash pick up. we'll put the flower in the basket. lol.

yeah, well, since you are doing it again this year, i am game. and you're welcome

on the contest you never know bethie. it sounds pretty cool what you're making. anyway, just remember how much fun it is to join. we only got 3 votes the year we did one, but we had so much fun doing it, i would do it again. i thought about trying out for this one. i thought i could make one of my dolls as an angel. make the clothes reversable. she could be in white as an angel, then turn the clothes to black for a fallen angel. butttt, i'm not really into Christmas, and the prize was lights. so i passed, i'll leave it for someone that will appreciate them.
i'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you on this house. just so you don't bite off more than you can chew

don't forget to need a picture of it with a newspaper headline of the date. i am excited you are joining. let the games begin

hey, you got it. good luck. so i'm going to head over to the sister thread and see if you posted in the contest.
still crossing my fingers for you to get the house
