I rarely give into

peer pressure. And being in advertising.....I see the dark side of it all the time...I try to avoid it. But this sounded fun and I like doing nice things for people when I get the chance. (Lately, my karma needs all the help it can get!) :D

Halloween Fanatic has set up a new Esty shop so I am featuring the shop on the side bar to help support my blogger buddies. That, and I think there is a prize involved :)

This said I know that many of you have Esty stores, so I will rotate out the link (at least) every two weeks. At least that is the plan.....if I forget, I won't be offended if you remind me I have not featured your store yet :)

    I love hearing about new Etsy shops. Especially ones that have things on the darker side.

    Many Thanks, sorry about the peer pressure, but I guess it is better than bullying. Look for your Sneak Peek tonight at 8:00. Thanks again, Robert

    Since Im apparently the only person with no idea what an Etsy shop is, I must now click with extreme predjudice lol..

    Got the DVDs Queen of all Frogs, made the walk to the mail box TOTALLY worth it today!! Well, that and someone said there was a 4' rattlesnake somewhere in the parking lot, but I couldnt find it.. Maybe I will get lucky and or unlucky tomorrow and find it slash accidentally step on it. Long story short: cant wait to sit down and watch me some movies!

Happy National Donut Day from the Davis Graveyard

Image
Harold the Gravedigger squinted through the pre-dawn mist. A low, guttural groan echoed through the Davis Graveyard, sending a shiver down his spine. Not the usual mournful sighs of the restless dead, no. This was a sound more…sugary. More…sprinkled. Harold gripped his shovel tighter. The rumors had begun a week ago – whispers of a giant, sentient donut rolling through the cemetery at night, leaving a trail of sticky frosting and disembodied sprinkles in its wake. Tonight, he'd finally catch the culprit red-handed (or, should he say, red-glazed?). As the groan grew louder, a monstrous shape lumbered out of the fog. It was a donut, alright, but colossal. Its glazed surface shimmered under the moonlight, studded with malevolent chocolate chips and a single, menacing gumball eye. A chorus of disembodied moans rose from the disturbed graves as the donut flattened several headstones with an indifferent squish. Harold, adrenaline coursing through him, charged. "Hey, sprinkle-brained...

Going to the Chapel

Image
...and we're gonna get..... no life during the summer. :) (We are almost done with the Chapel, in fact, if all goes well, most of it goes up tonight. But I have not been documenting it here.  So I am going to retrospectively show you through the chapel build.) After a few years of planning, we finally decided to sell the abbey and build a chapel. The plan is that this will be easier to put together than the abbey has been.  The abbey took an entire weekend, a scissor lift and an army of people to set up.  This new chapel should go up in a few hours. This is the SketchUp plan. Front view from SketchUP Here is the real chapel that we modeled it after. Ardgowan Chapel in Scotland Yeah, we decided to phone it in this year :D

Match Columns

When we decided to put our display up at Clackamas County 'Scare'grounds this October, we knew if we wanted to take the demons and the metal Cemetery sign from our columns, we would need to make columns to match the real ones on our driveway. We had to use a full wood frame to make this as heavy as possible because the metal frame that goes over the arch it has some weight and we did not want it to topple forward.  There is a lip of wood at the top that is not foam covered, that is where the demons will slide down onto, similar to our current set up. We drew out the grout lines for 4x6 bricks (average size) with a T-square to keep square, then used a Dremel trio on the pink foam.  We used our Demand Durarasp and a wire brush to make the grain. We use PL glue to glue the sheets to the boards and used wood blocks and strips screw into the wood at the grout lines to hold the glue for 24 hours to set. We needed to add an extra layer of bricks (to match our fence) that we just glue...
