Light Strands, Signs, and Panic!

This LED light string from Walmart really impressed me. They look more like carnival lights with the round shape and warm color. The purple strands are harder to find. If you can find them.

Three Walmarts in town all with different inventory. Found these tin signs that are a really good buy at $4.88. Great graphics with a little faux distressing as part of the image.

Alrighty then, on to the panic! October arrives on Tuesday and I am so behind with the decorating. The first problem is we moved. I can't find boxes of the Halloween decor or it was moved to a new box not in my memory files.

The second is my back. The great herniated disc debacle of 2017 has returned. Steroid shots, physical therapy, and swearing are keeping me upright. Hence, the panic!

Feeling the pressure as everyone is expecting great things with the new house. Honestly, we are still living out of boxes in 2 rooms. The down side of selling the old furniture and not finding new pieces yet. We are enjoying the hunt at estate sales. On the plus side, we do have nearly all the Funkins carved. The Halloween Tree went up tonight! Fingers and eyeballs crossed the rest of you are on schedule with Halloween preparations.

Ouch - hope you feel better soon. We don't expect anything so take care of yourself first!

Sounds very familiar. If you're anything like me, you'll end up unpacking every last box looking for the one thing that you can't remember which one it's in.

Take it easy, especially with your back. There will be other Halloweens.

I actually didn't realize Halloween trees were a thing (outside of Ray Bradbury). But if Christmas gets a tree, why not?

Lady M,

I don't think more than 50 people even read this blog. Well, and one very persistent spammer that repeatedly posts and gets denied. It is a left over remanent from the business. So, its more about things I enjoy. If someone else likes what is posted then great! Family and friends keep asking when all the decorating will be done so they can come see it. That is pressure! :o P

Infidel753,

Yep, trees are indeed a thing. Mine is only 3 feet tall. Some are huge! Pics from when it was up in 2014 are here:
