I secertly love

The Peanuts - so I was very happy to find these Halloween items up at my local Hallmark!!!  (if you look closely you can see Woodstock in a devil costume! Want!)

Granted they were buried in the back of the store....and the Christmas decorations were out front.

Does someone at the store need a calendar :D

    A few comments here... first, WHY 'secretly'? I openly declare my love for all things Schulz! :-)
    Second, what is the 'It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' item on the upper left shelf? CD score? DVD in new packaging? Drink coasters?
    Third, I'm with the Spooky Vegan -- may the Great Pumpkin bestow a bedeviled Woodstock upon thee this year!

    Great find.

    Woodstock is the bomb. I would sell my brother to get that little Devil. His wife might not like it...but whatever.

    I love "The Peanuts" too. But I'm referring to the pair of twins who sang the Mothra song.
    I think you're referring to "Peanuts". I have Woodstock in a Devil costume and others in guise that I pull out every Halloween to teach my students about Oct. 31st.

    I think all the stores need a freakin' calendar already! Time is ticking and they are not getting Halloween out fast enough for me. And when that happens...they start bumping it out the door with Christmas stuff far too soon. And don't we ALL believe in the Great Pumpkin here?! :o)

    What a great find! How many did you buy, you don't say in your post. I'm assuming you DID buy something.

    I stopped by the local Yankee Candle store here (no Hallmark store anywhere near but yes, we now have a YCS in The Back Of Beyond, England) and rattled their cage, asking when I'd be seeing the Autumn stuff.

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...
