Trial and Error of Halloween decor


I am glad to say that this is finally done. All bricks are completed, the walls, the lights-done, everything! Sigh of relief.
Don't get me wrong, I really like this picture, but after a while, all that time of carefully, correctly drawing out all the proportioned windows and bricks and architecture really start to get on my nerves!
I spent this year's Halloween decorating my my sister's house. That sounds nice. You might say. Oh really? Does it actually?
This is what Halloween decorating involved this year. Here's just one of my examples.
Putting up twinkle lights. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong!
Detangle them
Test them
Do all that, then realize something's wrong with the outdoor plug-in.
Hang them up. How do you hang them up? What with? Ummmm.....
I resorted to using scotch tape.
Bad idea.
My sister greets someone at the door. She turns to me and mentions that my lights are falling down. Bother!
I will not go into anymore halloween decorating, other than mentioning to be careful when you jump on a sofa to stick streamers to the ceiling, not to spill yellow food coloring all over the kitchen counter, and to keep your cat away from manufactured spider web. Alas, your cat will get a 12 inch rope of this gagging substance down their esophagus, in which your sister will have to pull out.
Halloween turned out pretty well, despite the trials and errors of Halloween decor, but I must say I'm relieved that it's over.
Now, leave me be to decorate for Thanksgiving.
Happy blogging!
