Spooky Candy Jar
I’ve posted already the Decor Elements’ Special, which ends October 31st. I would say to be safe, tomorrow would be the last day to order them and know they’ll be here in time for Halloween.
Here’s my jar from Super Target and my Spooky Spider Decor Elements, in Black, size Large. Again, it’s HUGE! But so is the jar!
What’s funny about this, is that we will fill this at least 20 times. We started keeping our candy in a contractor size garbage bag. Right now there are 17 of those JUMBO bags of candy in my wine closet, instead of wine! :-( We will pick up a few more by next week, just because we run out every year even though we keep adding more and more. All of our friends don’t understand it, because they spend about $20 in candy and their lights are out by 8pm. It’s going on all night here in our neighborhood and if it’s a weekend night like this year, it’s even worse.
The last time the holiday fell on a weekend night, we had someone ring the doorbell after 1am. She apologized and asked if we would take a picture with her and her mother next to our witch under the patio. I was shocked! She said her mom had to work and she couldn’t pass up coming back to see it with her. Halloween is a real treat (no pun intended) because there are so many kids anticipating our decorations and coming to visit, sometimes twice. Even the little ones come, and I’m surprised because it’s pretty creepy. Not that some of them haven’t run down the walk way screaming! It wasn’t me! It was probably my husband. He really enjoys scaring everyone in his super gory grim reaper costume, especially the teenage girls who scream so loud and schrill, it reaches my spinal column. But they drop all their candy and my son collects it all and high fives his dad!
So this is a last reminder to give me a call by tomorrow to order the Spooky Decor Element before it’s too late!
Thanks for stopping by…. again! Today’s been exhausting.

Love this jar and the spider Cheryl. Are we going to see some pics of this yard of yours? Would love to see pics.

This is one event that gets into my scrapbooks for sure, so those pics will be there. Someone asked me the same thing, and I realized that I bought a new video camera with Shelley at Best Buy when we cruised in the spring. I had forgotten that i owned one I went without it so long!
So, I am going to learn how to put my video on youtube and that way all our friends and relatives can see it.
