That's what I'm thinking, Spooky. If I finally get around to making foam ones next year... or, I may use them as post toppers for gate columns.

Right now, they're a living room decoration, flanking the tv. I don't have the heart to box 'em in the basement. :wink:

Poor Bella. Can't you play the sympathy card and send your roomie out as a personal shopper? Or, failing sympathy, offer your roomie free pain meds for fair trade? :twisted:

Sneak out, mate. Promise to take her dining and dancing. Offer to wash the windows. Tell her she gets the remote for the entire month of November. Pledge to make nice with the in-laws. Give up half of your half of the bed. Do what you gotta, but don't miss out on Target's cheap bits! But once a year and all that jazz....

Actually, I could call my brother. No biggie. I've got too much stuff already.
When it comes time to move, I always kick myself for it.

went in to Target (because Mac insisted) and they had nothing......nothing I needed or wanted......no statues, no fogger timers, nothing but kids costumes and party stuff like cups and plates, table cloths and so on...:(

okay, I gathered up all my loot for this year including what I got today and what I bought before Halloween 2009 (all this year). This is the bulk of it, what isnt shown is assorted light bulbs, extension cords, a 500 watt work light, cotton cobwebs, and materials to build my corpse head and candles, black plastic for walls, wood for the frame, a few tombstones that were in the garage dirty.

that spider looked too good :)

my last purchase was 4 more bags of candy for my self lol
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

That spider is positively evil...I love it!
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.
