Halloween Reveal

Hello friends!

 Six weeks from now I will be getting

our gift shop ready for the Halloween season.

I am so excited this year!

Started planning my theme out 

hard and heavy after Christmas last year.

When I was a teen my parents took

us to Disneyworld.

Gramma B went with us too!

My fondest memory of the park

was the haunted mansion.

I loved it!

Plus at the end of the ride,

we had a hitchhiker.

A ghost appeared in between

 my gramma and I in the car. 

We both were laughing so hard.

It was so much fun!

Now I could NEVER re-create

Disney's haunted mansion,

but what I do plan on doing is creating

my version of a haunted hotel.

Meet Spooks.

One of the ghostly temporary resident

of my upcoming haunted hotel.

Bob already made the concierge

 counter from wood.

An animated butler will be behind it.

My haunted hotel room will be full

 of ghosts and skeletons.

I will also have a Dead End Buffet.

I plan on creating a sign that reads~

All you can eat today.

Rest in peace by morning.

Prepared by Chef Cy-O-Nide

Since everything in my haunted hotel

 is dead, I just had to make these dead flowers.

Created from black suiting material

and wooly worms for leaves.

I found these tan wired stems at the local craft store.

That's where the idea came for these flowers.

For my buffet I have created lots

and lots of cookies.

Here is one I call "Bones".

Every haunted hotel has to have some cobwebs,

don't you think.

Now this one has yet to be blocked and starched,

so its a bit wonky.

But once finished,

will be a perfect candle mat for Halloween.

The colors this year will be purple and red.

I cannot WAIT to get the room decorated.

The countdown begins for me.

It will take me a week, so am taking vacation days.

The front of the store will have harvest and witches,

so a little bit for everyone.

Haunted Hotel Blessings To All!
