Just thought this was cute and wanted to share. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my fiance and I love to decorate. No you don't understand, I mean I REALLY love to decorate. To the point that I decorate and pretty much go out for all major holidays.
I have a pretty large balcony 6'x18' and it's always decorated, I consider it an extention of my home. Well I finished decorating it for Halloween the first week of October. I have new neighboors below me that have a few younger kids. One afternoon I was sitting on my couch watching TV, had the balcony door open and heard a kid scream at the top of his lungs and then I heard "It's ok, it's not real" "You can buy them at Walmart" I'm assuming they were referring to Gerald, my balcony ghoul that I hung up in the center dangling over my railing.
I got a good laugh out of it, but the next few weeks I've gradually seen my new neighboors adding Halloween decorations to their patio and it's really cute! I might have inspired them! I have already inspired the building behind mine, before I moved in only one person really decorated their balcony for Christmas, now there's like 6 families that do it, of course not to the extent that I do, but they are trying!
Just wanted to share with everyone... Even though I don't own a house, yet, I make the use out of every inch of my apartment when it comes to decorating. Imagine the screams I'll get when I can do my very own yard haunt! Oh the possibilites!
