Frog on the Pumpkin

We got one of the second prize slots in the 2012 Instructables photo contest !!!  We put out a photo tutorial of how we made the grieving angel. Woohoo!!

In 2010, a Viennese and Croatian designers spun this jaw-dropping installation at a German design fair: Enormous spider-webs made entirely from packing tape. And lots of it:  117,000 feet and 100 pounds of tape went into making these “huge, self-supporting cocoons that visitors could climb inside and explore.” Not sorry that I missed this one....I would likely have nightmares!

Justine!!! Woohoo, congrats.  Just send me a email to chris@davisgraveyard.com with your mailing address and I will get your goodies right out to you! Cheers! New drawing starts tomorrow.....more Halloween goodies!

I fixed it! I think we can all agree.....that is MUCH better.

My favorite niece "Lex" gave me this for my birthday...way back in August.  I held on to it until my actual birthday so I could post it here.  The card is handmade but the black w/butterfly she said reminder her of me. Best birthday present ever!

My mom gave me this collection....one of them is a frog "mascot" from Fed Ex....I think I might have found my new favorite shipper! Cheers!

Especially  if you are the Frog Queen.  Thanks to my good friend Josh who makes amazing metal work who made me this very cool metal frog....to go with the metal spider ....just for the record, I like the frog way better! Visit his Etsy store to get yourself some cool holiday gifts! His spider webs are awesome!

Wait....there is still candy!??!?! Awesome! So just to prolong the creepiness  I have a bag of goodies from my local neighborhood candy shop.  This is a handmade bag with all kinds of Halloween goodies in it! I will give it away on Monday (November 19) night to anyone that posts a comment on this blog.....and yes, I will ship anywhere in the world!

Found this really cool post about how to make glow in the dark cupcakes!!! Recipe Snobs: Ghoulishly Glowing Cupcakes :

to say happy anniversary (29 years) to my cute husband!

...to be honest all our cats get away with murder.  Actually Hal has gotten away with a lot of murder recently as you may have read. Halloween afternoon things changed. Hal really wanted outside like he has want to do, and we let him go, he is a stray from the neighborhood, it is hard to keep him in. So when he ran past me on Halloween to get outside, I think he was quite surprised that almost immediately Husband and I tracked him (tricked) him back in the house. He was not happy. "What the ^%$# is this?" he said.  "I mean you named me after this holiday, the props belong to me....let me the hell out of this house.....there are people with cameras coming....I must be in the photos!!!" At least that I am pretty sure that was what all the crying and attempt to claw my face off meant. I could sit there and explain to him that Halloween is not the best day for cats, and especially mostly black cats, and not all our neighbors are crazy about our yard and h...
