Caught Up in Halloweening

I haven't had a chance to write in a while.  Getting everything ready for Halloween.  This week is set aside for hauling our decorations out of storage at my in-laws barn.  Several truckloads later and we should be ready for set up on Friday night.  I want the graveyard to look as if it appeared overnight on October 1st.

I got some cool stuff from Oriental Trading Company to use in the dungeon which replaces Dr. Doom's lab.  This year's villains are Countess Tortura and the Executioner.  We also got an inflatable gargoyle from WalMart.com for $35.  Very cool and actually scary.  Hope to get it on the roof or it'll end up in the far corner of the yard by the woods.

I'm also in the middle of making several costumes for customers which has taken quite a bit of time.  It seems like no matter how early you start, you're always behind the 8 ball!

I did take some time to build a website with some more pictures and details of our haunt.
