In the shadows




















A ghost I had made for Halloween at work.
A little dirty drapery material, paper mache and spray paint.

Ah the good ole days when I'd come in early and decorate for a Halloween party. Until we hired some folks who kinda hate Halloween, and bitch at me for decorating. Maybe this year, with some new hires, we'll out number the grouch bags and get back to having some fun! :)

Why do this for work you ask?
(...I'm sure you asked...)
It's a sad tale of being an only kid on my side of the busy street, where there were never Trick or Treaters! (Then compound that by not easily making friends cause...I'm shy damn it!) And the house I now live in is in the middle of nowhere. (Which is great 364 days of the year! Except on Beggars night!) And our yard has a virtual "wall-o-shrubs" so no one would see anything I put up!

Hence, my employer putting up with my fanatical need to decorate for Halloween. He was kinda "mad" (or you could say, pissed off...) that one year I forgot an left the cobwebs up in the conference room, and it was time for the Monday morning meeting. Other than that, he seems to generally dig it. And, I get along well with a few co-workers who dig Halloween, so that makes it worth sticking it in the eye of those who are bitchy about the holiday!

Around the house

Witch Cauldron wax melt I made with figurines

Small skull I got in Texas and a crystal skull from Greg.




Angry and furry
