Panels of Spooky!

Good Day Everyone!

Ok, before we delve into the weeks events, what do you think of the 'new' white layout? Better? Worse? No opinion? I think I like it....it will be changed for Halloween (October) but I think I may go back to it afterwards. And what about the new header? I thought it was time for a change. The drawing and the decorative letters came from a website I found this past week....and of course I forgot to write it down. I will let you know the name of it as soon as I find it again. Leave me a message and let me know what you think!

Can you believe another week has gone by? Where does the time go? Swoosh! and it's gone.
Well, we are a week away from decorating....I can hardly wait! I've been really impatient. I was going to start pulling things out yesterday but decided I'd better wait......my neighbors already think I'm crazy.

I've been working on the panels...I got two more constructed and one 'skinned'. Not sure if I like it or not. I think it will work for what I want. At least, I hope it will. I still have to apply paint to the two that are sitting here starring me in the face. The 'skin' is a vinyl wall decoration. It looks good but boy is it cheap! I managed to rip it two or three times attaching it to the frame. Fortunately, the rips are in places you will never see. I forgot to take a picture of the frame before it was covered. Here's a couple of progress pics.....

the 'scene setter' is what i used for the panels.

the crow and tree branches will go inside, i can't

wait to put them up (picture coming soon!)

here's one of the panels. it's aprx 4ft x 8ft

there will be two, one on top of the other and

then two on the sides that are vertical, to create a 'room'

and a close up of the bats

My youngest grandson, at least until December, just turned two a couple of days ago. Talk about feeling old. My children make me feel old but my grand kids....wow....they grow so fast! Yes, you read that right...my son and his wife are expecting in December. This will be four for them. I don't think the 'birds and the bees' talk worked..or maybe it worked too well? Maybe I need to get them an illustrated version of the book cause I don't think they've figured out what causes babies. HA!! Anyway, come December, my wife and I will have another little bundle of joy to spoil (and send home)!
My daughter and her boyfriend are at the house this weekend too! They're spending a couple of days here and then on Sunday we are all going to my son's to celebrate Rylee's 2nd birthday! It will be nice to have everyone together.

In between working on the panels and the fence I have managed to squeeze in a little time for my 'Forrest' project. I will post pictures of that in the near future...don't want to give too much away! LOL! All I can say right now is that it's coming along wonderfully!

And now.....
We come to the Giveaway reminder!
I've gotten some really good responses from people! I can see where everyone and their uncle has been to the page to check it out! I've also gotten a couple new friends as well! I'm thrilled that people are stopping by to 'play'! We are just over a week away from the drawing, so if you haven't gotten involved - Do It Now! :)  Here's the link again in case you missed it....
