I've been working on how to get decorations to move and interact. I have these ghosts I've cut from a white packing foam (low density) so they pick up any light. I attach them by floral wire to the trees in our front yard (three to six-foot lengths). When a breeze blows by they move like crazy. Unfortunately I lose about 3 each year and I'm having problems finding that material to cut more. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'll have to dig up some photos of my yard stuff and post them. One year, I used those jack-o-lanterns in the trees, at night they looked like they were mysteriously floating in the air.<BR/><BR/>Just as a reference we get about 200-300 kids (for a Village of just over 2000). The other townships ship them in for the event. I'm a big spender on them as well, each kid gets at least two pieces from me (although I do bulk up with bubble gum and tootsie rolls). For the teens and the adults with babies (toddlers at least can walk to the house), they only get one piece.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-50607621413983787512007-08-14T10:59:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:59:00.000-04:00Toby wants to be like you with the Halloween stuff...Toby wants to be like you with the Halloween stuff.
