Very cool kitty indeed, Stormy - what's it made of? Metal? Breathe in, Breathe out...Move on - Jimmy Buffett Quote | Post #414289 (3)

Thanks Sheryl. Yes, Barb, I bought it last year at Joanne's fabrics. DSO put some stakes on his feet so that I could stand him up in the front shrub bed instead of hanging him. His metal held up pretty good. I am going to spray him this year before I put him outside again. Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #414332 (4)

I am thinking it won't be a dull look these are the columns Randy made for the fence going to add these between the 4 of them Coleus Chat ~~ Seed Forum ~~Northeast Forum Click here to visit my Zazzle Store Happy Birthday Wishes Quote | Post #414485 (5)

Wow, talk about pumpkinaholics!! That is amazing, but what a ton of work. I'll bet the critters love that yard. Just think about the compost opportunities too. Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #416041 (10)

I can't imagine that only one or two people are lighting those pumpkins. It would take a team. Wonder if they are using candles, sterno, or mini lanterns? Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #416183 (12)

For lighting them, probably!! I think about all of the potential accidents from them too, especially with kids. Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #416433 (14)

They look really cool Allison!! Are there going to be those skulls sitting on them, or that Gargoyle? Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #416928 (16)

Onewish1 Sep 22, 2010 7:49 PM CST Name: Allison NJ

each will have a gargoyle ... and we are going to hot glue some small tombstones on the front towards the bottom... I think we are going to hook the lights to our light show as well ... we always figure the more lights always makes the fog look cooler and Randy has plans to make a fog machine cooler out of a garbage can & dryer vent pipe.... a couple of holes... and a ton of ice... cold fog stays low to the ground ... rather than floating up into the sky Coleus Chat ~~ Seed Forum ~~Northeast Forum Click here to visit my Zazzle Store Happy Birthday Wishes Quote | Post #416936 (17)

I never knew how the fog was made. Do you use dry ice? Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #417061 (18)

Onewish1 Sep 23, 2010 3:43 AM CST Name: Allison NJ

we don't... we have a machine that makes fog... put this special fluid in it and turn it on... it even has a timer so it will go off depending how we set it http://www.google.com/products?q=fog machine&oe=utf-8&client...
