Chaserbug
The Great Pumpkin

Re-posting my comment on my picture here in case you don't get a notification that I responded (not sure how that part works, exactly) :
Thank you for the compliment! Yes, we got lucky in that the closest street light is at the end of the cul-de-sac. I used CFL flood lights in cheap stake-stype stands for all the lighting. One of the floods is pointed at the house through the palm trees to make the creepy shadows (I'm sure it would look even better with regular trees).

Happy Easter, erveryone!



(How I see my girls on Easter morning.)

Glad to help. Those items always seem to sell for pretty big bucks, close to retail, and although I'm sure there are deals to be had it seems to be a caveat emptor situation.

Happy Halloween Chaserbug have a good one!

thanks for having a peek at my pics as for the comment about snow...I live in northern alberta...We are lucky to NOT get snow on Halloween! We've already had two days of frost! :S Northern living at it's best! haha

Hey Chaserbug! I know it's weird - most of the stores here seem like they're still in mid-summer mode, but a few are full-on Halloween. I bet we see things change this week, though. Love your avatar.

Did you see the Donna for sale in the "individuals" column? A bit pricey, but he says still in the box. Also, thanks for the heads up on Grandlin Road; never shopped there. Yes, same air of enchantment as "Donna The Dead". I'm tapped for funds, so I'm stuck just looking right now. Keep up the good spirits!!

I store it all in my attic and a bit in the garage. My attic is HUGE and covers the whole top of the house. We only use one side of it, so the other side is still open to more storage (i.e. MORE HALLOWEEN STUFF!!) My husband hems and haws about me getting more stuff, but when it all comes together and looks so good, then he takes all the credit!! (I usually do all the stagin of the props, I'm a stickler for detail so I get a lot of small items to place all over w/ the big stuff). I wish more Halloweeners lived by us as well - we get between 400 and 600 TOTs depending on the weather, but I wish we had a whole block of people who decorated like we do, I would just LOVE that!!! I'll keep you posted if anybody is selling their home, would love to have you here!!
