Wow! I thought this thread had moved while we were gone today! You are on page 2 already.

Charleen-did you create all those darling animules? That's some talent, lady.

Sharon's is beautiful. Looks a lot like Ruby's sister, don't you think? Reminds me of a song, "I Ain't Got Nobody. . . "

Robin- Cute and spooky at the same time! I can just see some 6 yr old sounding out the words and then screaming, "Mommy!" Hmmm, my kind of sign!

Becky- Your grandson will have that perfect little bear keepsake for every Halloween. Wish I had thought of that for my DGS when he was a teeny baby.

Whew! Sure hope I made it in time! Just got home from work, finished my signs, and now have pictures. One is just a fall sign, the other is obviously for Halloween.

Don't know if you can read these, the light is not very good in our basement at night, but they say " Welcome Fall, Happy Harvest, and Give Thanks!" They don't show up very good inside, but I will be putting them up outside tomorrow, and they show up better in the daylight.

Here's the Halloween sign.

As always, I love all the signs! You people amaze me every time! Such talent!

Hurray! I tip my hat to you. Hurray!

Thanks! Every thing was made out of old wooden fence parts, except for the ghost's clothes, which were an old white sheet. We drilled a hole in the ghost's face for his mouth, and then glued a piece of wood behind it, so his mouth is actually about a 1/2 deeper than the rest of his face. Then we drilled a hole for his nose, and I had one of those light cords with just 1 bulb at the end, and put a white Christmas light bulb in it, so his nose lights up! I tried to get a picture of it with his nose lit, but my camera won't take a good picture. The signs didn't take that much, but we did about 30 of those wooden pumpkins at the same time! Still have about 10 to finish of those Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

OK everyone, I had a very hard time deciding since your creativity was so DIVERSE, but I have to say that I laughed out loud at Sandi's (Bubbles) rendition of 'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead', so she is my winner!!

Everyone else deserves a runner up prize!! This was great fun!!
Sandi you have Tree-mail!

Thanks ladies! I loved all the entries. I think we were all brave to enter. And I will be copying some of your stuff too!

Lin, I knew about the candy (which I tried to refuse, but Vic would have none of it). The plumeria was a complete surprise. I missed that and had to scroll back thru a bit to find Hetty's post.
