Well, still September but the garage is starting to transform, no more tires and tools.. time for goblins & ghouls! Halloween is a month away. For the next month do not even think Of speaking to Norman if it isn't about Halloween! Nothing else gets done and we fight, we fight about him getting tired and props going off in the middle of the night, leaving bodies where I don't expect them and causing me mini heart attacks throughout the month. As I LOVE to draw my hubby is passionate about Halloween so I try TRY to bite my tongue. The work that goes into this display is insane. All this labour for one night? Well it has grown to more than one night but really? Really. I can not deny that it is impressive. I do not understand how any of it works other than most are on sensors and run with a compressor.
I really want to keep a journal as how it goes up so I plan on taking photos hourly when he is at work. The most amazing part is that we do NOT charge - we ask that guests bring a food bank donation! So it is ALL for a very good cause. A couple of sneak peek photos below
of a few bodies being assembled (every thing moves!) -I am sure if he knew I was posting these photo's Id be banned from the garage. Hee hee hee
As you can see we all keep busy. I believe that is the key to happiness ;-) & Sanity. Find out what it is you love and DO it, Norm does not do it all year but HE thinks about it all year!
Today I paint! I did not even get to touch it yesterday - it was a busy daw drawing and cleaning.

Frankie is getting some new body work this year, he needs it - it's been a good 10 years with him in the display. He was always near the end just standing there and would swing his arms up just as you pass! Many woman giggling saying he managed to cop a feel! Norm swears he did NOT plan it that way.
new Prop - I blacked out his face so you won't know who he is and what he does! LOL I think he is already creepy.
heads, hands, legs and toes nobody knows..
