12th day of #Creepmas - nutcrackers

I have an ulterior motive for posting this, besides for Creepmas.  It's also an inventory of my Halloween nutcrackers, so I can look back next year and see what I have! 

 

The witch on the left was made for me for a Merry Reaper (which I didn't participate in this year - sad!)  and I love her!

These guys are my favorite- they were all made for me for either an ornament exchange or Merry Reaper.   I have some small plain wood nutcrackers that I plan to paint like one, one of these days!

 

It's almost Friday the 13th!!!

11th day of #Creepmas

 Let's hang up some Christmas cards!

 And move the candy cane....

 Finish hanging some ornaments...

 Speaking of.... I got this at Bronner's last week!  I love the color gradation & the ghostie. 

NOOOOOOOO!!!

Chuck doesn't want the Halloween nutcrackers to be put away!  

(and neither does Rusty!)

7th day of #Creeepmas

Today we're still in Frankenmuth.  Chuck explored the River Place Shops and then played around outside of Bronners. 

 We also watched some guy in a Santa suit & 3 girls in skimpy Santa dresses shoot a music video by this tree. 

 

In a store called "For Bare Feet"

 

He was looking for the troll!

I'm pretty sure they close this bridge since it could get icy.  The rest of the concourse is all heated so there's never much/any snow or ice.  

 

This was in a store called Cherry Republic. 

The parking lot at Bronner's is always lit up. 

It is the "World's largest year-round Christmas store".

 

We only played on some of the decorations!

6th day of #Creepmas

Today's adventures take us to Bronner's!

I didn't take Chuck inside with me (I wanted to concentrate on shopping!), but I found some fun ornaments that were apropos.    

 OK, the tiny pickle, not so much.  But that would be a hard one to find in the tree!

 I have some smaller eyeball ornaments - like golfball sized, but these are regular bulb sized. 

 

 

I had a picture of the rack directly below this but it was too blurry to see what it was.  

How cute is that????

 

After Bronner's we went to Slo Bones for lunch.  

 Chuck on stage!

 LIVE????

 

He looks like an ad!

I showed this picture to the hostess and she suggested I posted it on FB and tag them in it - so I did! 

btw, their food is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a carnivore and is the Frankenmuth, Michigan area!
