I have had this door hanging out in the backyard for oh.... 8 years now. So I finally re-glued it, cut it down and replaced the old Barn Haunt door with this one. It is far from perfect but I love it anyway.

I am no longer captive to the massive 600 pound work bench that has been sitting in the same place for 15 years. Yippee, let the inspiration of having new space begin! Of course I have no storage for all of the things being housed in the work bench cubbies but oh well most of it is old and needs to be gone through anyway.
Why can't we do this for Halloween? We have a huge Day of the Dead parade which is totally awesome but it's not the same thing. If I lived in smaller town or in an actual community I would totally put together some sort of Halloween festival.

It is the unspoken rule in my household that you must wait until the new year before Halloween is brought up. Which means speaking the word Halloween openly and out loud. I can have all the Halloween fun I want before the new year, as long as it is in my own head! |
