What do your decorate your tree with?

Mine is decorated with a cat.  I guess it is Dor's cat toy.


Funny, it says "christmas tree" on the tag :D

    Tree decorations gathered from all over the world (OK, essentially Europe and North America) on our various family and individual trips.

    This is why I have a rosemary topiary tree. No cat in tree, and he doesn't eat much of it. Thank God its not an asparagus tree, or he'd kill us all in glee. Bizarre cat cravings.

    I love your kitty's stripes, btw...

    I had an ornament like that last year except mine was gray. This year it is too big to hang on the limbs so it is clinging to the trunk.

    That has got to be one of the cutest ornaments I've ever seen!

    I just usually have a large orange, purring growth on my tree skirt.

    On the tree? I have everything from tiny Tim Horton's coffee pots to peacocks to monster trucks to stingrays wearing Santa hats to little ballerinas.

    No cats but we once had one take down the entire tree. It fell on me! Snowmen, gingerbread men & lots of stars and moons on our tree. Oh and magic mushrooms :)

    Cute! This is why I opted to not put a tree up this year! October can't handle it and he jumps all up in it and knocks it over every night at 3 a.m. He gets excited for Christmas. That, and he also likes chewing on the branches!

    Merry Cat-mas!

    I think I have the only two cats on the planet that are totally not interested in the Christmas tree. I have lots of cat and horse ornaments though plus a lot old crafty things my daughter made in school and I made in girls scouts. I love those tacky old ornaments made out of felt and construction paper.

    We have a cardboard tree... and two staring floor decorations.

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...
