Halloween What are your plans?

wow, you make me tired Allison!

me too... but we still think it's worth it

Looking good!

thank you...Randy is putting together your coffin tomorrow.. or so I hope... figured it's raining and he can do that in the living room

What a nice thing to do for the kids!

the two little girls up the street come by and look at what is new.... and it's the best when they don't know I am there.. and can hear them candid ... makes my day

I saw the ten footer Allison.

Just wanted to say I LOVE the idea of the PC party! Looks like it was a fun time for all. :o)

And onewish, all I can say is OMG! LOVE IT!!

thank you!!!

Thanks Toofew!

I finally got a picture of Oryanna's & Bella's materpieces lit up.

Dora, Diego, and Swipper

wow they look great!!!

Tiffany is getting really good at carving pumpkins. By next year she out to be a pro!! LOL

hey allison what did you mean above when you wrote "randy is putting together your coffin"? were you directly that to someone in particular? :)

looks great as usual!

Yes, that was directed at me! LOL

" going to have to bury him in the coffin Celeste gave me.."

ok must have missed that :)

Wow - what a lot to catch up on here. I love this thread. It is so fun to see what you are all doing (knowing that all I've done is buy a huge bag of candy so far!) Sue - those shots of your family are great! Thanks, Debi, for sharing those with us!

Celeste - I could just hear the joy in your posts, even though you must surely have been exhausted after that awesome party! The photos really tell the story about what a memorable time those kids had. I still have a neat memory of one Halloween costume party here when I was 8. Those things are priceless, and I am so impressed with what you and Allison do to make it so much fun for others! JoAnn - your house looks super! You did a nice job on those faces! Love the lights too. Kudos to DD and family - including you!!

No decorations here, unless you count the snake in the yard! LOL He is black, after all!

Ha..... Thanks for the compliment. DD and SIL did everything physical. I am called in to consult only. At least my creative part of the brain is still working.
Put a hat on the snake and" your- in-"

Consulting is important stuff when you are an artist!

awesome Victor!!

Don't have to go far....my town's Opera House is haunted by a ghost named Butch.

Tenor or baritone?

Maybe Alto.

Nice list, wish they were closer!

Butch doesn't sing... he plays the organ, an old theatre organ that's well known in the state. Our Opera/Town Hall was built on an old graveyard back in the 1800s....spooky old place.

If it was built on a graveyard it should be spooky! Amityville horror.

pass it on - one of the best I have seen

Cool!

very good!

Great graphics!

Love the 3D effect, as well as the point of view.

ok imagine all the eyeball lights on... a fog machine... several strobe lights... and lights to light up the spiders on the roof and that is what it will be Halloween weekend

Amazing, Allison! Love how the lights and music are in sync.

Great job. What do the puppies think about all that?

thanks... we did get the dancing skulls set up.... Randy just has to attach the servos to wood and I am going to put together the rest.. hopefully will get that done today... (Victor I figured out the servos we bought are too strong for the controller... and the reason they were not working right... not enough power in the box to control all 8.... but if I use 6 they work just fine)... the puppies... they growl at some of the guys we bring out... esp the animated ones.... I would guess they would tear them up if allowed to

oh and I wanted to tell you guys if you are buying purple lights... go with the LED... the incandescent lights look red compared to them now... we bought purple / orange sets for the windows... the site is out of stock right now for those we bought... but boy what a difference in the color .... I always pay extra for the flex change so if one happens to burn out.. you can change it .. a lot of the LED sets are not replaceable

Good to know!


I've been gutting out pumpkins, made Brian carve one for me last night........

love that one!!!... Randy will too

Thanks! It took me longer to gut it then it took for him to carve it!

yeah sometimes the cleaning does take longer... guess we are not doing any this year.. too late now
