In the meantime, I've been busy taking photos and will be sharing them so you can take another tour through our 'Halloween Forever' home. That's probably a good way to celebrate the 200 day mark... guess I better get busy and edit those pics!

Coming up to 200...
In a few day it will be 200 days until Halloween! Can you believe it?! The cool spring temperatures are not making it easy to start our projects but we have managed to get some of them done. The others will have to wait until Mother Nature co-operates with more heat and less wind.

Eternal Halloween Love
I've been dying to share these photos. I've been hemming and hawing about getting another tattoo for about a year. I had to find a good artist; I had to make a decision about the placement and I had to finalize the actual design. I had tons of ideas but couldn't make up my mind and being inked is permanent.
While out running errands last weekend we stopped into a new local tattoo shop because they were finally open when we were around (strange hours these shops keep!), chatted with the artist, looked at some of his work and found "THE DESIGN".
I'm not kidding.
This is the PERFECT design. I love bats, I am all things Halloween and the "stone style" is just awesome. I had never seen anything like it but when I looked at the idea sheet I knew this was the design for me. That left me with only having to decide on the placement. We went home, put our purchases away and did some mock-ups for possible placement. After contemplating different areas that could host this wicked design. Many ladies like to have a tattoo on their shoulder, their ankle or low down on their back but I'm the type of person who wants to be able to actually see and enjoy my ink. Why put it in a place where I will have to use a mirror to see it? Nah, not gonna happen. I chose to have it done on the inside of my left calf, strange perhaps but it fits me perfectly.
This is a photo of the finished outline. Even at this stage it looks freakin' awesome!
A tattoo is a permanent marking. It needs to mean something to the person who has it inked onto them. Since I have an eternal love for all things Halloween it really fits my personality and lucky for me it also fits my love of bats. And if I decide to add on to it (a pumpkin, background silhouette bats, etc) the possibilities are endless!
And this is the finished product. Doesn't it look FANGTASTIC?? Sorry, a groaner I know!
As per our usual course, we have named this new Halloween icon - everyone meet my bat, Swoop. OMG Pardon my black slouchie sock! I forgot I had those on when I took this photo.

We bought a coffin...
A coffin bookshelf that is!
How wickedly cool is it that as of today Halloween is 270 days away AND as a bonus we are now the proud owners of a locally built, hand made, rustic toe-pincher style coffin bookshelf?
Once I take a photo of it I'll share. I spent some time the other day taking photos of our Halloween Home. I figured many of you would like to see how we have re-arranged the house. And since some of the Groundhogs didn't see their shadow, can we start out countdown to SPRING so that we can get outside and paint all the stuff we've purchased over the winter? Yes please!!!

The long awaited photo
Well damn, it's been insanely busy around here over the last week!! We carved our pumpkins, put up the graveyard, prepped food for the party, ensured the costumes we planned were all set, had a wonderful visit from my grandfather who LOVED our decorating efforts and even managed to buy a few more things for our Halloween Home.
These are day shots of the yard ... I'm sure tonight we'll get a bunch more photos when the sun sets and darkness covers the ground. What are you waiting for?! Get your costume on and come trick or treating at our place!!
