Happy New Year!!
Actually, I'm ready to un-decorate what little I put up inside for a while & just enjoy a regular house! But that means going out in the frigid cold to the garage to get totes...
so I'm not in a big hurry.
I've had a very bah-humbug holiday season (which explains the incredibly crappy Creepmas! - I apologize for that) and just really never got into the spirit much.
So how's about some fun, random things before getting to the nitty gritty?
This house I drove by had the most # of blowmolds (other than me) that I've seen around here and they have a volleyball scene with snowmen playing against Santas with a nutcracker referee!
Why have I not thought to do scenes with my blowmolds???
Another shirt at Walmart - if they'd had my size, it would have been MINE!
SUV seen parked across the street from Zehnders in Frankenmuth on New Years Eve.
The brush guard on the grill was also decorated.
Chuck looking somewhat evil here.
Alrighty!
So I've been doing some planning already.
This will be Maple Grove's 10 year anniversary!
I'm tossing around the idea of having the skeletons trick or treating, which I think would be fun. And thanks to the after-fall sale at At Home, I got some metal pumpkin stakes for 75% off (and I had the metal corn stalks already) so I think I'll make a pumpkin patch with these and the JOL blowmolds on the left side of the yard. I'm always having issues with getting it light enough over there, so the blowmolds should take care of that nicely. And they *should* be contained enough that, with luck, won't drown out the rest of the lighting.
and I have 2 or 3 smaller JOLs in the garage that I don't think I've ever actually put out in the display. That should be a nice little patch.
I got 2 boxes of these at Walmart for 75% off, too. I'm going to figure out a nice amber lens for these and they're destined to be used on the big headstones.
Yeah. They needed help badly last year!
The tough part again will be figuring out where to put all the skeletons!

Wow. The Mosh Pit is going to be a lot smaller next year! With the 4 big JOLs, the pumpkin stack & the small one on the fence moved.....
