As The Ghosts of Halloween become the Ghosts of Christmas yet to come


Ye all the hoopla surrounding the biggest day of the year here in the Web, as been put to rest. Ye Halloween is now a distant memory. I must admit as far as the door decorating contest goes, I did get caught up in the craziness. Grade three and I made a special fake door over our regular door, and when you open it a scary monster falls out at you. I know crazy. I even decorated the outside area at my classroom door to look like the side of an old dilapidated house.  

I must admit I miss being home so I can decorate my front yard, but when I finally am at home again, i have so many ideas or mt lawn decoration.




Notice the eye ball is hanging by a few nasty veins...oh its all in the details.


Here we can see his flesh has come off some of his slimy green hands to reveal his bones.



I realize it is hard to see the details, but  on the other shot of my panelled door, I have the panels attached with brass pins that make it look like small brass decorative ail heads.

Ah the whimsy, but as we lay those ghouls and ghost to rest our minds are already on the preformaces planned for the Christmas concert. I am keeping most everything under warps for now, except to say, it is going to take the entire 5 1/2 weeks to get it ready and in the bag shall I say.
Today we got a bit of snow and the temperatures are nippy so its easy to think of Christmas concerts, well just as soon as these pesky report cards are done.
Cheers all
