Haunting Your Yard!

During a recent visit to my sister’s home in Mississippi, we headed down to New Orleans for the weekend and we took a little time to hit a couple of graveyards.  Unfortunately, we were unable to go inside the famous one, St. Louis Cemetery #1, because it was closed on Sunday.

But I thought I’d at least post some pictures that Dylan took.  We didn’t have a lot of time, and we had a 5 year old in the car who didn’t find it very interesting – although he did insist on getting out and having his picture taken in front of one!

So we ended up selling a vast majority of our props – and I look at the old pictures with a little sadness.  On the other hand, we just don’t have the time to dedicate to the set up, etc. right now, not to mention the storage of so much stuff!

But we will still be decorating for Halloween – the main thing we won’t be doing is the graveyard.  It was a LOT of work.  It also did some pretty good damage to our grass each year that would take it about a year to bounce back from.

So if you are into Halloween and plan to start making props for the first time or add props to your set up, you better get started!  And if you’ve got some great ideas you’d like to share, send us a note – we’d love to hear from you and post your ideas!
