Does anyone work and build the props for your own yard haunt display this summer? Maybe re-design, make some beautiful art works, etc.


For me, I believe in August, I am going to make something that I really can't think about that - Maybe I am going to make some baby coffins. I think I have to find some boxes, something smaller such as shoe box, you know? Have it painted in color like white or gray, maybe black. If I make black coffin, I have to make white cross on the lid. I believe I will make something more than coffins.

I hope me and dad can start working on gravestones soon.

That's cool! When are you beginning to work on grave stones?


Well, my friend lives across the street, he will come and help me with stuffs like that this summer and also, he will make his own props as well.

Why do you want to know when I start working on them? You want to see pictures while I'm making them? I guess I can do that.

I don't know when we will start working but I hope we can a long time before Halloween! I hope we can make them look JUST like the real thing. Most of the yards I see the stones look very corny and not real. Well I want this one to look like a real cemetery but spooky at the same time.

I am cooking up ideas and getting ready to get stared on some of them. I think all year round and beg my husband to start helping me. hehe

Maybe if you made some Chistmas themed decorations...?

I really hate XMAS decorations!

Really, can't wait in July and August, I am going to make some baby coffins, some wooden crosses for my graveyard, and also, some other ideas I'm not sure at this moment... Yes, I probably go make some more tombstones.

You don't like Christmas? Or just the decorations? I like Christmas and other holidays but Halloween is above them all. I celebrate Halloween all year!

We decided we will start working June 23. I hope it happens.

Your dad and you will build some gravestones? So, you think you will start to work on June 23? Sounds like too early for me, I prefer to wait until Aug.

We might not work on them much during the summer we have other things to do. So we should start really early. It is fun working on them so I want to do it soon. And then I will not have to worry about it all summer!
