Jumping Pumpkins
Found these little party favors on Amazon for the trick or treat bags. The Letapapa Halloween Party Favors for Kids, 24 Pcs Jumping Popper Spring Launchers Toy for $15.99.
6 different faces to make 4 sets. They are so cute they might not make it in to treat bags. Playing with stringing them as garland.
A new tombstone is coming to the Grimsby family cemetery and it is tall! The new cemetery fence is done. Having trouble staying motivated and focused this year. We dropped from days in the 90s to the 70s so that should help me get back to work on Halloween decor.

35th wedding Anniversary is Coral
This is a really good looking animatronic on its own. The plan is to do a re-paint, add some padding to the costume, add a dive belt, and make a sea bed base for Bob. He is living room decor when the Yule tree is not in that corner. The work on Bob will be in December while the tree is up. The light only comes on with sound so we plan to add internal and external lighting.
Big fan of Scooby Doo and the episode Silence in the Library from Doctor Who. Bob reminds me of characters from both shows.

Halloween on the brain
The little snake bottle is from DeeDee & Shark a very talented artist making spooky, creepy, and truly unique ceramics. Her in person shows have smaller items if you happen to catch her at a Pacific Northwest show.
Is everyone working away on Halloween projects? We knew the cemetery fence needed replacing so it is being copied using black Sintra board this summer. First test cutting of a section was this week and the sturdier fence pieces are impressive. We had bigger plans for this October only Mr. Old Fashion Halloween will be traveling with his brothers over Halloween. Disassembling the yard by myself and I need to keep it simple.
