Season's Greetings Everyone! While I have been away, you all have not been forgotten! I have been busy making this years addition to my NBC themed yard - last year on Halloween the kids chose The Frightful Fountain for me to make this year and that is what I have been working on! Every year I intend...

Just wanted to say that the amount of work you to is to be commended and that I love coming to this thread to see if you added new pictures. I get so many ideas here from seeing everyone's creations!

That is really cool!! I can't wait to see him finished as he already looks so good!

Hi, thanks so much everyone! There's normally nothing there aside from the pillars. (I wish I had a gate there, we get so many door to door salespeople that I'd love to keep from banging on the door!) The gate is made out of PVC pipe and for me, it was a nightmare of measuring and math (not of fan o...

Hi! The tombstones are amazing, I love the writing on the Poe one but they are all really great!

Hi Everyone! I wanted to add an update and a photo even though I am not done with the whole thing yet, I hung the gate tonight! yay! :D I still have to do the cats on either side and I am *hoping* to get some pumpkins carved to put on the side fences http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e206/scully33/H...

GUS! I am totally overwhelmed by your responses! Firstly for being so kind as to offer so many great suggestions and secondly because I am going to need a pencil and paper and someone with a better mechanical mind than mine to translate some parts. :) The cardboard tube idea from rolls of carpet is ...

I talked it over with my husband and I am totally sold on doing Jack's gate. (His job is to pretend to be really interested and then keep quiet when I start asking loudly "why did anyone allow me to take on these projects when I have so many other things going on") I like to pretend I am somehow req...

Hi everyone, I dont know how I neglected to share finished pictures of the house setup for last year but here they are: http://thumb6.webshots.net/t/88/171/5/33/84/2700533840034769006kQRmHT_th.jpg I realize my yard is sparce but we had just moved from a smaller house to a bigger one and I tried to f...

So today I am posting here to tell you a precautionary tale. I like to call it, "Know when to walk away" or "test out your idea on something you haven't already invested 6 hours on." It started with me trying to blend fluorescent paint. Turns out, it doesn't blend so well. What does happen is it mud...

Todays been unproductive but I got a few layers of paint on him yesterday (I made the error of not priming him with latex paint, overall, would have been faster than 10 coats of white acrylic to cover the blue writing.) Anyway, ignore the foot, I drew it forward, realize it needs to be facing other ...

Hi all! I didnt want to start a new thread just to share this minor update but I thought posting here would give me the proverbial kick in the pants to get going on this years addition to my Nightmare theme. Backstory: we just moved so I had to reconfigure where all my decorations are going to go. O...

Ok thanks for that, I went to look at it just to see what it was and 15 minutes later I had to pull myself away. LOL.

Love Erasure though so it wasn't all bad.

Wow, I love this idea too! Its the perfect solution for someone that finds a figurine they like but doesn't have the space to do a full "town" set up.

I am always looking for Halloween themed ideas online and I have never seen anything like this. What makes it for me is the light inside.

I love this! I am so hopeless at photo altering stuff... I need to take a class or something.
