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.

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

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...

Hello square one,

Image
we meet again. We are starting over. Completely. No, not the whole yard.....just the church (Westerman Abbey) - I say "just" the church like it is just a small prop in the yard. This is big. Very, very big. I know I am as stunned as all of you.....actually typing it out for the blog is a very scary thing to do.  It is more real now.  I told you all, so I have to do it. At the moment, we are still in the planning stages.  I think our next step is to build the scale model and see what supplies we are going to need.  Oh, you have your hand up, do you have a question? "Why I am getting rid of probably one of the largest props in any home haunt?" The answer is in the question. It is bit cumbersome to put up.  We had an accident taking it down one year and this year while taking it down the 14' pieces of lumber we damaged (just years of wear and being out in the rain) - the only safe way to put it back up is to rebuild the frame.....and if I have ...
