September Hallo from Cincinnati

Well - it has happened. I am getting sooo excited about Halloween that I can't sleep!! We host a HUGE Halloween party for my husband's work at our house and it is a big hit! Then we are the Halloween House for our neighborhood too - and I serve hot dogs and hot chocolate and apple cider. We have a haunted trail in the backyard and a fun grave yard set up in the font. This year - we are stocking up on Vampire wine! It is really good and I love to have a few bottles out on our "Black Cat Bar - a little set up I have in our family room. Each year we try to create something new for our haunted house. Our inspiration often comes from something we see that is WAAAY too expensive - so we try to envision how we can make our own and save $$$. This year - the big project is to build a hearse!! Yes - we have seen the one for sale (it sold last night ) on E-Bay - made by the Scarefactory. Very cool and yet a bit out of our reach. Sooo --- we are starting to find a few items that we have salvaged to design our own Halloween Hearse! I thought I would start a posting - maybe some photos if I can get it all together - and share the evolution of our hearse project. I thank Halloween Forum for the years of great links, ideas, even the companies that sponsor your site are great to visit for things we have purchased as well as to get ideas. Thanks to Halloween Forum, we are off and running with our 2009 Haunting Fun!! Boo!
